with simply ana directly. The story
of the meeting between your two
rulers, which you. Prince Korndoff.
have alluded to as fairy tale, was a
perfectly true one | have known of
that meeting some time, and | have
certain proof of what TRANSFERRED at it.
The North sea incident was no chance
affair. 1t was a deliberately and skill
fully arranged 'casus belli,' although
your admiral, Prince Korndoff, had to
go 100 miles out of his way to find the
Dogger bank fishing fleet You spoke
to me last night of Cherbourg. prince.

ice is scarcely so successful as mine,
for l can assure you that you will find
there all that is to be found today at
Klel.'
The prince was amazed.
But. NJ. lie President" he exclaimed,
you cannot mean-yOu, our ally
The president extended forefinger.
1T was no part of our alliance" he
said sternly, that you should make Il
secret treaty with another power and
keep hidden from us no less a scheme
than the invasion of England My cab
met have dealt with this matter ON its
own merits. l have the honor TO tell
you, gentlemen, that l have concluded
an alliance with England to come into
effect in the case of your carrying out
your present intention. For every army

Prince Korndof rose to his feet.

that your attitude is a complete sur

'As you will, SIR" the president an

British demands, and commission OF
arbitration was appointed.
Henri de Bergillac read out the
news from the morning paper and
yawned.
"C'est fini-raffaire Poynton." he re-
marked. You can get ready as soon
as you like, Guy. am going to take
you into Paris to your sister,"
Guy looked up eagerly.
"My pardon?' he asked.
The vicomte made wry face.
Heavens" he exclaimed, Il forgot
that there We're still explanations to
ami. and think that tomorrow or the
next day you may be in your beloved
England. Think how well we have
guarded You here when a dozen men
were loose in Paris who would have
killed you on sight. Remember that in
the underground history of England
you will be known always as the man
who saved his country. L shouldn't
wonder in the least if you weren't dec
grated when you get home. Think of
all these things-hard"
"All right" Guy answered. go
ahead"
"You never killed any one. The duel
was fake. You were-not exactly So
Der. That was entirely our fault, and
we had to invent some plan to induce
you to come into hiding peacefully.
VOLTA tout! 1t is forgiven?''
Guy laughed great laugh of relief.
Rather he exclaimed. What an
ass l must have seemed, asking that
old Johnny for pardon!''
The vicomte smiled.
THE old Johnny, Guy, was the pres
ident of France. He wanted to know
afterward what the devil you meant"
Guy rose to his feet.
"If you tell me anything else" he
said. Il shall want to punch your
| head"
| The vicomte laughed.
| Come" he said. IT will return you
! to your adorable sister,"

Bilious People
Try 1t Free

Do not ignore the little disorders"
of the system. The liver, for example,
is a particularly needful little organ,
but must be active to be of any use.
When it is active it creates gastric
juices that help to make digestion
perfect, and then you are well. When
it is not active it becomes what is
known as torpid" and promptly pro-
duces biliousness.
There is no better cure for biliousness
or any Of the symptoms of liver trouble
than DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. the
wonderful laxative tonic of which so much
praise is heard. 1t is pleasant to take Gum
IKE pills and powders and such thingS)
and acts very gently, moving the bowels
without gripping, toning the stomach and
arouslng the liver to activity, thus scien-
tifcally curing such conditions as bilious
ness, torpid liver, foul breath, salow or
pimply complexion, sick headache, con-
stipation, loss of appetite, indigestion.
stomach nervousness. ETC., all of which
are due to slow liver.
Mack Clark, of Darlington, KY, suffered
for five years from biiousness and cured
himself with DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

TOO CLEAN.
African Natives Who Were Lavish In
The; Use of Soap.

African Natives Who Were Lavish In
The; Use of Soap.
Miss Mary Kingsley. who made many
Journeys in the wilds Of Africa, used
to relate how once, finding it necessa-
ry to cleanse q much sOiled and stained
blouse, she carried it, with a cake Of
soap, to q neighbOring spring, where
an interested group Of native women
watched her wash it. They were much
impressed by the way in which the
spots disappeared, and it emerged as
good as new.
The next morning when it came time
to break camp Miss Kingsley missed
her sOap-a precious commodity in the
wilderness. Suspicion soon pointed to
certain woman, who, on being ac-
cused, confessed boldly that she had
taken it and cast it into the spring
that its extraordinary powers of re-
neWfng old garments might be perma-
nently impaired to the waters. She
was deeply mortified to learn that her
effort had been in vain.
The Rev. Peter Mcqueen of Charles
town, Mass, tells kindred story. His
soap, however, was not lost, although
misused. He still had it with him.
II told our native servants to be sure
to lay in a supply of clean water
when we crossed the Taru desert, a
scOrcheG belt of sand stretching some
seventy-siX miles," he relates. It'd
ings had reached us that an English
explorer who had attempted to cross
that desert shortly before us had per
ished from thirst, so we wanted to be
careful
you can imagine my surprise when,
upon taking my first draft of water, |
discovered that it tasted strongly Of
soap. All the casks were similarly
tainted and we rounded up the natives
and held a hasty court martial
at was a tough predicament, but l
couldn't refrain from smiling within
when the leader Of them meekly con-
feSsed that as the master had instruct
ed him to lay in a supply of clean wa
ter he had seen to it that bars Of soap
were added, for soap, be said, was
used to clean things"
They did not perish of thirst, but
after sixteen days of drinking soap
suds, which agreed with neither palate
nor stomach, no native of that partic-
ular gang was again likely to try to
purify water with soap.-Youth's Com
paniOn.
