"Take care of her, Sir Charles.
These Americans are of rebellious
breed. you know" II
"Your majesty" said Ellen, Il think
this will be a peaceful couple. The
affair began by the reading together
by the two of Bakers Saints Rest "
otis a goodly volume, well writ,
and by a learned and godly man,
said the king, gravely, land It's good
omen. You may kiss the queens
hand, If you will" he continued, and
this was the sign manual OF George
approval of the two women, for had
he believed Ellen other than she was
he had never allowed her to approach
his homely but beloved little wife.
"Now, Sir Charles" he resumed, after
the obeisances had been performed,
take the ladies to the castle and
await my return. Send one OF my
misunderstanding to me by the
way, after you reach the castle.
Ladies', l wish you good morning"
The king, like the little gentleman
he was, dotted his hat CALAMITY to the
two ladies as Sir Charles, saluting pro-
foundly, led them away.
A great weight was taken from Ell
lens heart. The king, who possessed
the power of life and death over his
soldiers and sailors, had promised to
free her husband and restore him to
her arms. Punishment, trouble, diff
ficulty, were to intervene, but the end
was certain and Ellen was content to
wait.
The gentleman-in-waiting presented
himself to the king, who had stood
quietly under the trees talking ami
matedly with his wife and chuckling
with pleasure at the idea that had
come to him.
"The Britannia arrived in the
Thames last night, did she not?
Eyes, your majesty"
"And my message directing Admiral
Kephard to present himself was trans
mitted"
Eyes, your majesty"
"The admiral is at Windsor?"
"He Is, your majesty
"Bid him to come to me here under
the trees. l have something to say
to him."
Eyes, your majesty" returned the
equerry, bowling and withdrawing
rapidly.
And presently old Admiral KEEP
hard, in full uniform, attended by
Captain Beatty and Lieutenant Col
lier, came rolling along the walk. AS
the admiral and his subordinates sa-
luted and prepared to kneel, the king
motioned to them to rise. If were a
cruelty to make fat old man like
Kephard, trussed up like a turkey
cock in tight uniform, kneel down on
the ground out in the open air.
you need not kneel, admiral, nor
you, gentlemen" said the king, ex-
tending his hand to Kephard, who
bent over it and kissed it heartily

The Best Razor strop.

THE best razor strop ever had
was a piece of glass" said the club
barber. "An old barber gave it to
me. Unfortunately l let 1t fall and II
broke, and l have never been able tc
get one like it. There's some kinb
in the grinding which l can't seem
to figure out In these days a good
razor strop is a mighty hard thing to
find and / would give a good deal II
1 could only get that piece Of ground
glass back again. 1t sure did put a
cutting edge on the razor"

CHAPTER xxI.-continued.

Eyes, your majesty" answered e.
len, enough to last me all my life"
"Why, here's promise of a pretty
reconciliation" said the king, with a
rising infection in his voice, turning
to his wife.
The old woman nodded.
Forgive him your majesty" she
said kindly II will warrant he will
not forget the experience"
| King George was not very brilliant
man. Even Ellen, anxious to view him
in the most favorable light because
of her petition, could see that, but
he had a brilliant idea at that mo-
ment. He stood thinking, his plain
face Frightening with a smile, and
when he smiled he was really quite
winning. He looked so honest, so
true, and so good, If he were stupid,
that Sir Charles and Deborah could
not help smiling with him; beside,
it's etiquette to smile and to frown
with the king, whether he be wise or
foolish.
Ellen did not smile. She had too
much at stake. She waited in lovely
appeal, tears trembling in her eyes,
color wavering in her cheeks, her
bosom heaving, her hands out
stretched.
81 have it," said the king, at last.
Rise, madam; your husband shall suf-
fer nothing worse than a reprimaId
and a fright"
Lord Darlington is brave man,
said Ellen, you couldn't brighten him,
sir"
mot even with the prospect of los
ing you?" returned the king, rather
shrewdly.
But, sir, that would break my heart.
/ want him pardoned that l may have
him again." exclaimed the poor wife,
piteously.
The king threw back his head and
laughed a truly royal laugh.
so you shall, my DEAR" he cried,
reaching his hand up and patting her
on the shoulder, for she was taller
than he. Leave it to me. My lord
shall be frightened out of his wits
and yet have you in the end
/ shall arrange it. Sir Charles,
take the ladies to Windsor. Mis-
tress Deborah, when you marry
this young soldier here, you become
my subject. How likes your hot
American blood that, mistress?"
"Your majesty" answered Deborah
rising to the occasion and putting
for the nonce her Americanism in her
pocket, utterly reckless of what Elder
Brewster might think, "since you have
acted with such royal generosity &c
Ellen-Lady Darlington and her hus
band 1 mean, can view the prospect
with equanimity."
She courtesied deeply before him as
she spoke.
The king laughed again. He was in
high good humor.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-12-18

Proceed, Kephard," said the king
smiling, "but no more of that"
Darlington has been fool" re-
sumed the old warrior, flushing deeply
under his tan, "he had the sweetest
wife on earth and was ashamed OF
her and flirted with another woman
who couldn't hold candle to her
and she ran away, in her innocence
getting Lord Strathgate to assist her.
Strathgates motives were-well, your
majesty will understand. She es'
capped from him. Darlington pur
sued him. They fought"
80 have been informed" said the
king.
VERY well, your majesty, then
there's nothing for me to do but to
beg you to be merciful to the young
man. l think he's heartily sick and
sorry of it now, and only wants his
wife. He's one Of the best officers
in the service, it would be pity to
degrade him, and, to tell the truth, !
love the lad dearly. Won't your ma
jesty be a little easy with him-a
nominal punishment? We can't al
ford to overlook the affair entirely"
"Hark ye," admiral" said the king.
| Gentlemen" he turned to the other
two sailors-"I commit her majesty
to your tender offices. Admiral Keep
hard and l will have a word or two
alone Come, admiral"
The king turned as he spoke and
walked out of ear shot, the admiral
numbering along in his wake. They con-
suited together animatedly for a few
moments, the king smiling, not to say
grinning, if so unroyal a word may be
used about majesty. Suddenly the old
admiral burst into roar of laughter.
He lifted his hand and slapped it
down on his leg. For moment the
king had thought in his enthusiasm he
meant to clap him on the shoulder.
The admiral beloved out in a
voice that could have been heard
half mile away in gale of wind;
"'Fore God, your majesty, tbs
noble idea, royal jest"
Think you it will work?" said the
king as he walked back to the other
group.
Excellent, in faith"
"And you will carry it out?"
ITO the very letter, sir. Tomorrow,
your majesty
"And let no inkling of your purpose
come to the prisoner"
None, sir and the lady, your ma
jesty, what of her?'
81 reserve to myself the pleasure of
telling her." returned the king.
And have we leave to withdraw
now. your majesty" asked the adj
miral, as they approached the other
group.
GO. and go quickly, Kephard," said
the king extending his hand again. Il
would that could be there and see
the denouement."
But your majesty can see some OF
It at least" said Kephard, 'if you will
board the Britannia any time to-mor.
row, and indeed you would vastly
honor us; the men would be like to
die for Joy at such visit. You could
at least watch the prisoner take his
departure"
"I'll do it," said the king. "At what
time?"
"At your majestys convenience, OF
course; but the tide GIBBS at II o'clock
and that would be suitable time
for"
The king raised his hand.
"At II o'clock, six bells, you call 1t,
don't your"
Yes, your majesty"
81 shall be there. Don't betray me-
by no means, your majesty" re-
turned the admiral.
And making their salutations and
obeisances to their majestios, the little
party withdrew, leaving the king In
high glee as he explained to his grim
little consort the details of his sport
i've plan.

City Council Decides to Give the Po-
lice Sergeant a Show.

There will be a special meeting of
the council next Monday evening at
the city hall to investigate the charges
against Sergeant Morris Jenkins who
was dismissed from the police force

following petition to the council
which was read last night at the ad-
journed meeting:
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Topeka:
I respectfully petition your honor
able body for a thorough investigation
of the charges preferred against me,
said charges being affidavits made by
Mary Bailey and Anna Ellis upon the
22d day of August 1908, which were
used as evidence by r. w. Eaton, chief
of police, in my suspension from the
police force of the city of Topeka on
the 22nd day of August. 1908.
MORRIS JENKINS.
When the petition was read it was
moved by Councilman Jordan that the
matter be referred to the police COM
mittee but the motion refused to make
good with the council and with the
motion of Councilman Lannan it was
decided to bring the matter before
the entire council. 1t was decided to
hold the investigation next Monday
evening at O'Clock and although
there was some talk of holding an ex-
ecutive meeting it was decided to
make it public.

BURNING ECZEMA
Almost Drove Him into Commissions
His Head and Face a Mass of

Dreadful-ls Permanently Cured.
DOCTOR PRESCRIBED
CUTICURA REMEDIES

when my son was only about year
old eczema began to break out on his
face. 1t kept getting worse and we
called in a doctor whose medicine only
seemed to make it worse, until his head
and face were solid, raw sore. 1t was
awful. He suffered dreadfully, and
screamed until we thought he would go
into convulsions, it would itch and burn
SO. We became so dissatisfied that we
called in another doctor. He pre-
scribed the Cuticura Remedies. The
baby commenced to get better right
away, although by this time the disease
had a good start. / don't think We
used more than three bottles Of the
Cuticura Resolvent, together with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
1t was perhaps several months before
all traces of the eczema we're gone, the
last being behind the ears, but the
Cuticura Remedies cured him COM
pletely, and he had the prettiest head Of
curly hair grow after his head COM
menced to get better. He is now not
quite. twenty-four, and he has been
cured permanently.
