AT noon Ludwig brought the great
car to the kings tent. for the Rus

leaving the camp.

The feld-ofiicer 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
to their duty, and, not being minded TO
have his progress stayed by bullets, he
ordered Ludwig to stop.
And the car came to a standstill In
the shadow OF a pine wood.
There were shouts before them and
behind them. Then came the CLEAN

An officer approached. holding Ian

the car.
The ex-king leaned out of the car
sideways and thrust his face into the
