CHAPTER xI.-continued.

10 summon king, prime minister
and the highest official of the earth's
most mighty navy to private inter
view at midnight! Even in times like
these it seemed preposterously impu-
dent; but this man came as friend
from the land of silent terror which
threatened to conquer the world, was
undoubtedly in deadly earnest, and
was a means of information between
what had actually happened and what
was to come.
"'Time will not wait, even for
kings" quoted the monarch with
some undesirable of bitterness, and
from his guest came the whispered re-
turn:
mo. time cannot wait, even for
kings"
The monarch slowly settled back into
the hollow depths of his chair and, as
II seeking moments respite to re
the hangings of his box and then ou.
toward the garish lights of the stage.
The hush of expectancy over the house
had reached a climax of intensity, and
the master of ceremonies in a raucous
voice was shouting toward the roof il
deliberately prolonged tones: Are
you-all-ready? From somewhere
above them came a faint response,
Yes" and then with speed gathered
by its long fight through the air
there came flashing comet-like from
high above an extended sploteh of
white, the sound of sharp splash,
and a burst of applause as the event
of the evening"" high dive, was con-
summated. Neither occupant of the
royal box paid any attention to this
feat. Bevins remained in an attitude
of expectancy, waiting for the kings
next words. The success or failure
of his enterprise might depend upon
them, and in this light they seemed
of almost tragic consequence.
What do you propose?" the ruler
asked, again facing the admiral as
though there had been no lapse of
time; and the other, relieved by this
sign of assent, gave an involuntary
and deep-drawn sigh of relaxation.
IF your majesty will be so kind,
think it best that should meet you in
the palace within an hour after your
departure from this theater. That
will give leeway for the other gentle
men to respond to the summons and
be there at the appointed time"
The band struck up God Save the
King" in token of the closing of the
performance. and from where they
were they could see the audience
standing, in total ignorance of the
presence of his majesty and unaware
OF the fact that a momentous inter
view, involving life and death, peace
and war, and the welfare of empire
was being conducted in tiny over
hanging box above them. while O
!eering mask of tragedy stared hollow.
eyed from the stage as If in mockery.
The king and the admiral were both
on their feet. the one looking absent
mindedly through an aperture, his
mind concentrated on the decision ne
must make, and the other watching
and waiting with breathless suspense
Below the throng began a steady
movement toward the exits, constant
ly dissipating itself, and the house
was almost emptied before the officer
had his reply.
Very weH. you may come, and
shall have the others sent for at
once
Bevins gave quick start of exulta
ton; bat his companion continued
without pause:
y shall be there within half al
hc-,. and shall instruct the guard al

HOT TIME AT A REVIVAL
Money Raising for the Benefit of
an Evangelist Was n
COrkeF.

After Evangelist Forsythe, assisted by
his wife, sons and the local clergy" had
been stirring things up In Morrisonville,
H. for about four weeks, their recent re
vtval' there closed with a bang-up sun
day night service at which $500 was raised

times when all institutions, including even
the state and the family, are not only at
tackled but challenged to give a reason
for their continued existence. Finally, the
tragedy OF the worlds life is known to-
day as never before. and inefficiency has
become the one sin which has no forgive
ness.
A doctor signing himself N. o. c., from
Karsas, sets forth his views in these
strong words:
The minister Cealled Of God talks him
self hoarse on Sunday about vice, etc, but
he seldom gets off Of Easy street. He does
not know what goes on in Hard street

Will attempt In the future to do less than
they have recently been trying to do. BY
attempting less they will accomplish more.
The panic Is subsiding, and men are see
ing that it is not the mission OF the church
to do everything.
Many noble works must be left TO other
agencies which nave a place in the com
prehensive plan OF God. In the days to

The first $3.50 raised resulted in a duet by
Rev, Mr.. Nyman and Roy Forsythe. the
musical director OF the revival"
Mr., Forsythe regarded It as a month
well spent and was especially grateful TO
the Methodist preacher and his wife for
their cooperation. Says the faithful re-
porter:
To-day the evangelist gave the Rev. Mr..
Nyman a handsome stickpin and Mrs. Ny
man a silver baking dish as a testimonial
OF his appreciation OF their valuable SER
vices
Ministerial labors are VIGOROUSLY under
paid, but, even so, a stickpin and a bak-
