the basis of etiquette by extending his
hand to the president and his COM

Your majesty" the president be-
gan, the time is at hand when the
United States has no further object in
concealing the power at her COM
mand; the sole cause Of concealment,
that of meeting the Chinese fleet, hav-
ing been nullified by the action of that
country itself. China has broken her
alliance with Japan, is ready to make
such overtures as we wish for peace,
and is dispensing her feet"
The president paused for moment,
and looked at those around him. The
king, steadily watching him, was i'm
pressed with his simple dignity, and
read Alright the great and high pur-
pose that shone in his eyes. Once
more he resumed:
1T has come to this issue, your
majesty, much sooner than / had ex-
pected; but events which make for

not of rulers. I desired this inter-

instantly responded.

The fioodgates were down at last.

blow of emphasis.

Every word of his final declaration
was bitten off with sharp emphasis
and accentuated by fist which beat
time. The king was suddenly con-
scious that he had leaned forward in
his chair so far that nothing but the
tense grip of his hands upon the arms
had held him down. In all his years
he lad witnessed no such scene of
emotion as this. nor heard more
ernest appeal.
The president, as If regretting his
lack of control. settled YEARLY into

How many men had occupied 1t since

been undignified; but he, inspired by
the grandeur of his purpose, failed to
realize that an angel with a flaming
sword could scarcely have been more
impressive. He had been addressing
no ordinary audience. Before him
was an august ruler, but more than
that, a great man. And in the hush
which followed, the sovereign rose
from his seat, stepped across to the
desk, and for one OF the few times
In his life gave untrammeled vent to
his feelings as a man. He put his
hand out across the polished mahog-
any top as the tall form of the presi-

met in one strong grip of understand

breathless and motionless. 1t was
rather the impulsive respect and
veneratien due to two great minds
which before their very eyes were
entering an unwritten compact for a
high and noble cause.
Once more they took. their seats;
but now by the subtle alchemy of hu-
manity they drew their chairs to-
gether. They were no longer rulers

ings. They were on Godlike plane
reasoning out momentous plans In.
volving the nations of the world and
all mankind. From their combined
fund of knowledge they evolved meth
DDS which were to strengthen the
weak and put in leash the strong.
All reckoning of time was lost in this
review of what had been accomplished
and what was to be done.
The night paled, the sun crept up;
the lights of the darkness were extin-
guished, and the day advanced with

tive clause was signed. and each
knew the part which his country
must play. Again they were all upon
their feet, looking into one another's
faces and abruptly conscious Of weari-
ness and relaxation. Too overcome to
resume their homeward journey, tie
visitors accepted the hospitality of
the White House for few hours rest,
and staggered to their rooms.
Once, more than a hundred years
before, an unwise king had caused a
war between brothers which had sent
them on diverse paths. Each had
prospered but held aloof And now
after all this time wiser king had
proffered his hand, and the brothers
were to be friends again in truth, and
were to travel side by side unto the
end.
