leader. You out for blood again? Re-

diamond last spring."
For answer the cohorts of No. 33
yelled defiance at their opponents and
scurried out of the fort to gather n
fresh supply OF missiles. The leaders
met and 1t was agreed that ten min
utes should be given for the making
and storing up of ammunition. Both
sides retired to their ramparts. which
were about fifty yards apart. and each
boy began to make snowballs as fast
as his fingers could work. The sun
was shining brightly and the melting
snow on top made balls of icy hard
ness. Piles of the missiles were
stacked up behind each fort. and on
signal the battle began.

boys sailed forth. and in a few sec

shocked to see that the once lovely
and charming young queen had turned
into a haggard and prematureiy aged
woman.
The Dutch people saw the change
dignation. for they were disposed TO
attribute II partly to the misconduct
of the prince consort.
The loss OF the queens good looks
was without doubt almost entirely due
to the repeated disappointment of her
hopes OF motherhood. The disappoint-
ment was. In the first place. natural.
such as any normal woman might have
felt. This natural feeling was intensi-
fed by patriotic sentiments.
The queen realized that II was her
duty to provide an heir to the throne
In order to preserve the succession In
cations which the whole Dutch nation
dreaded. The queen at her accession
was the last member of the ancient
royal house of Orange-Nassau who Is
really Dutch. There are other de-
scendants of the family through the
female line, but they are all Germans
or foreigners. The Dutch have always
been suspicious of German designs
on their country. and apparently with
good reason.
Now, the nearest heirs to the throne
after Queen Wilhelmina are not only
German princes. but officers In the
German army. II appears TO the Dutch
that one OF these gentlemen, II placed
on the throne OF Holland. would be
very serviceable In adding the coun-

majesty by appointment.
These great personages were sur
prised to see her majesty the queen Of
the Netherlands crawling about on
her hands and knees on the floor with
the little Princess Juliana. heiress to
the throne. on her back. The queen
was playing gee-gee with her baby.
1t is this sort of thing that pleases
the Dutch.
The happy feeling among the people
has had much to do with restoring her
good looks and good spirits TO Queen
Wilhelmina. She is made happy not
only by mother love but by the
thought that she has done her duty
to her country. the ancient home OF
liberty in Europe.
