his anxiety for news of developments
and briefly recounted his adventure
appealing now and then to Brocktor
for details which he did not under
stand. He concluded, and hesitated
for an instant in embarrassed silence

king had again stepped into the

The world will soon be at peace"
he said meaningly, looking at his kins-
man. We have come from a meet
ing in America with the man who has
so decreed it, and | have had the
honor of joining him in plans for the
future
And Germany?"
"Will be glad"
But her allotment?'

studied the face of the ruler who had
gained a worldwide reputation for
Walllke ambitions and constant true
ulence. whose mailed fist had long
been clenched in readiness for a blow
and was surprised. No sign of storm
was apparent, but instead a calm and
placid pair of eyes stared back at

In rapid sentences he told of the
