me, and said l knew nothing about any Prin-

slain if some one did not hasten to his rescue. !"
Il But some one had more sense, some one

All, yes. When the President came down

called it. But l shouted out. being quite des-

correctly.
Nevertheless, precious time had been con-
sumed by the elder Delgrado's interference
The President acted with promptitude: but
the outcome was clear. If it had not been for
Bosko, the King must have fallen.
"Godsi' vowed Drakovitch in his emphatic
story to Felix. There were we lounging about
smoking cigarettes while his Majesty was in

Better not mention it in public, was Po-
luski's advice. THE mere notion of the re-
sultant disaster would make Prince Michael
seriously i'll. Moreover, such things grow in the
telling, and the story will be traced back to

The other had agreed and Felix followed his
own counsel by withholding from Joan all
knowledge of the unpleasant mischance that
had nearly cost the lives of the King and his
companions in the besieged hotel. But his
thoughts were busy, and. when he found
Sobieski detained in the entrance hall. he con-
signed Joan and her maid to the care of a SER
want briefly explaining that they were to be
taken to Princess belgrade, and forthwith
questioned his fellow countrvman.
SOBIESKI was quaking with fear. The scorn-

THE LITTLE FATHER

THE Car of All the Russias, the Little
Father" of his people, appears frequently
in the proverbs of ordinary Muscovite speech
The following are few of the popular say
ings:
The crown does not protect the Car from
headache
Even the Cars lungs cannot blow out the
sun.
The Cars back also would bleed if it was
gashed with the knout
The Cars arm is long but it cannot reach
to heaven
The hand of the Gar also has only five
fingers.
It is not more difficult for death to carry
fat Gar than to carry lean beggar.
The voice of the Car has an echo even when
there are no mountains near.
What the Gar cannot accomplish time can
do.

In his last conscious moments he told me
with trembling lips that the night before his
son Antoine had appeared suddenly at the
farm, that the young man had been drinking
heavily. and that he had demanded certain
in which he had become involved in New York.
The father and son had quarreled, had in fact
almost come to blows. but later peace had
been arranged between them and after mid
night luncheon of wine and cake the father had
been taken i'll and fell PROSTATE the floor
while the son had robbed him of the tin
money box kept in the dining room locker
and had fled. The wine had evidently been
poisoned.

he told me this; but now, knowing what had

"At this time, you. Pierre and FRANCOIS, were

had thrown himself into the river at Detroit,
and that the name was supposed to be Malet,
from rambling, incoherent letter found on his
corpse. l was satisfied that this Antoine:
