Senator Beveridge has introduced
an amendment TO the Payne biff--tfi-

the Spanish war the tobacco concerns
were allowed TO reduce the size of the
packages, as part Of the pubVc's con

THE Man
Who Stole
The Earth"
By W. Holt White

CHAPTER LxVllI.-(Continued)
Your majesty" said the officer, u
cannot call II molestation. Our orders
are our orders. and the instructions
which we have received will be obey
ed to the letter"
do you mean 10 tell me- cried the
king again, that you will even go e
the length of using force TO restrain
me? -----
Even TO the extent OF using force
your majesty replied the officer.
The king fell into great rage. but
his common sense stood him in good
stead, and again, fortunately for him
self. he decided that To attempt a
struggle would simply result in loss OF
dignity and must end in disaster.
Therefore. civilly enough. he asked
the officer 10 convey message 10
Gen Martel 10 the effect that he de-
sired TO see him as soon as might be
convenient
Then he turned and re-entered the
house while the officer dispatched the
message to the general.
Gen. Martel. when he received the
message. wrinkled his brows and
scratched his venerable head. He
guessed pretty shrewdly on what pre-
text the ex-king desired to see him,
and he had no wish to be forced into
an argument with him on the question
of his majesty's departure.
Therefore, he set forth in search OF
NJ. Stalvan. and consulted long and
earnestly with the aged premier. But
they took no other counsel. for. while
the general, as chief Of the army, anC
Stalvan, as chief OF the civilian state
had quite sincerely made up theil
minds to serve their new master faith

At the end of the consultation. how
ever, they saw that IL would be neces
sary TO seek out Langley or Hertz
for the simple reason that they re
garded it as most expedient TO TAX,
counsel II they could with Strong, AM
the only means they had OF reaching
him was through the wireless.
