THE Man
Who Stole
The Earth"
By W. Holt White
CHAPTER Ixv.-icontinued.1

! CHAPTER LxV.-(Continued.)
He might find the whole nation sui
len-the whole city of Bomberg in a
state OF rebellion against him, put they
would not harm him. or that he felt
sure. Force OF habit is strong. and the
| lifelong habit OF his people OF treating
him with respect and regard would. he
estimated, stand him In good stead
now.
! Even should Strong return before
his majesty hoped that he would,
should he indeed be captured. at least
his life would be safe, even in the new
dictators hands.
For the ex-king still thought. that
he held the trump-card. He still re.
tanned possession OF his daughter.
At noon Ludwig brought the great
car TO the kings tent, for the Rus
sian army was under canvas.
Headstrong and imperlous as ever,
his majesty did not even condescend
to explain to the general In command
II the reason for his departure.
AS he passed through the lines, how
ever. and as the car was still going
slowly, a field officer overhauled him,

leaving the camp.
| II am" said the king, CURLY, vouch-
safing no other answer.
| The field-oficer saluted again and
rode back to the general And the two
officers puzzled in silence over the
kings departure.
II was dark when the king and Lud.
wig passed into Bahama. and from
the side OF the road there came a
sharp challenge.
| Even though the car was travelling
at a great pace. the kings quick ear
caught the rustic OF soldiers leaping
| 10 their duty, and. not being minded to
have his progress stayed by bullets, he
ordered Ludwig TO stop.
And the car came to standstill in
the shadow OF a pine wood.
There were shouts before them and
behind them. Then came the CLEAN
OF lanterns. and soon the car was sur
rounded by troops.
An officer approached. holding Ian
tern above his head. and peered into
the car.
The ex-king leaned out OF the ca
sideways and thrust his face into the
light. "
You know me?' he asked the ON
Ger. and his voice was that Of a man
uttering a command rather than OF one
who requests recognition.
The officer peered at him keenly for
few moments and then stiffened to
attention.
your majesty" he exclaimed.
Even So" was the answer. Il am
your king"
Instinctively the oficer saluted and
stood with a perplexed face and I'm.

serves no useful purpose, but offers a
temptation TO those who would mo.

such articles in this country to profit

In other words, the tariff needs re.

What Senator Aldrich said was
When did the Republican party
make any such promise? The Repub-
lican party in its platform did not
promise TO revise the tariff downward /:
1t promised revision by fixing rates
equal To the cost OF production at home
and abroad. and providing reason
able profit to the American manufac-
turer."
What the Republican platform said
was this:
The Republican party declares
unequivocally for revision of the
tariff by a special session OF congress

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. May s.-This
city thinks so cents In enough TO pay
for 1000 cubic feet Of gas. The local
gas trust. owned by eastern capital
lists, refused to meet the demand oil
the people. The trust gets 80 cents
So. what do you think the people OF
Indianapolis have done? They have
opened a plant for the manufacture OF
gas and are selling II TO themselves
at so cents.
Recent events in the Indianapolis
fight against an arrogant public SER
vice corporation will open the eyes OF
other cities. the people of whom are
paying exorbitant prices for such pub
lie necessities as gas. And local gas
trusts may well take notice of the
plight in which the Indianapolis Gas
Go. finds Itself
When natural gas was discovered In
Indiana some 20 years ago a group OF
public-spirited citizens formed Con
sumers Gas Co." to sell gas at cost,
by an assessment plan. Any excess
in assessment was to 60 into a divi-
dent fund. These citizens formed a
company and took stock at 800 a
share.
The indianapolis Gas Co.. the for
eign-owned trust. was In trouble at
once. II had TO reduce its rate TO
meet competition. Of course the peo-
pie favored their own company and the
trust was up against II until, one I'M
happy day, the supply OF natural gas
gave out. Then the people were COM
PEELED to fall back upon the trust. and
1t Immediately waxed fat and sassy
again and sold gas at 81. II also piled
up millions from the sale OF stock.

During the II years that the people
ran their own company they proved

company took out in dividends IS for

More Graft Discovered.

Scarcely less astonishing than
the disclosures relating to the fire
marshal's office is the discovery
that as legacy from Republican
control of the state penitentiary
there is due the state over $51 900
on old and expired contracts.
An extraordinary feature of
this discovery is that in number
of instances the record of the pen

money paid and now said to be due
on various contracts.
