Stockholm, May THE prime minister
presided tonight at the dinner In honor
Of Mr.. Roosevelt. at which there were S6S
guests. Mr.. Roosevelt proposed a silent
toast TO the memory of King Edward and
OF sympathy with the British people.
Then he took up the subject of race sui
eide and made a vigorous exhortation.
Though travelling in an unofficial ca
pacity. Col. Roosevelt is now staying in
a palace OF which King Edwards niece
is mistress. He came direct from a visit
at another palace where King Edwards s
daughter is queen cOnsort.
Immediately before that he had been
staying at a cpurt which gave TO Edward
and to England Queen Alexandra. who
stepped into the hearts of the English
people the day she landed on their shores.
On Monday the colonel will leave here to
stay at the court of King Edwards

and English visits as his private en-
gagements demand.

will be Cancelled, but such events as his
lecture at the Berlin University and his
lecture at oxford University presumably
will not be interiered with. His visits
TO England and Germany, in his own
words. will now be very quiet and pri-
vate.
Ii was thought here that he might go
to King Edwards funeral There has
been no time as yet even for an invita-
tion. but if it occurs by the end Of his
Berlin visfI Col. Roosevelt says he will
be unable to go.
Expresses Deep Sorrow.
Speaking OF King Edward, Col. Roose-
welt expressed a deep feeling OF sorrow.
He recalled what he described as an
illustration not merely OF tact, but Of
real feeling. Ii was when he was in
augurated President in 1904. lie said:
Several people then sent me little gifts
and souvenirs Except only the ring
with the halr Of Abraham Lincoln that
John Hay gave me, what pleased and
touched me most was what King Edward
sent me with one OF the kindliest and
friendliest letters. It was little minia-
ture Of John Hampden from Windsor
Castle"
Taking into consideration Hampden' 8
character and the estimation in which
he was held by all parties. Col. ROOse-
welt pointed out how this was justly the
gift that King Edward as a monarch
could send with entire dignity to him as
n democratic President without violation
of the governmental traditions Of either.

so severely as to threaten wheel and
axle. The horses. even. had slowed
down to a walk. Suddenly he con-
ceived an idea. Eagerly he thought 1t
over.
When he stirred to action it was to
hear Hank say
"We'll have to make a fight, Slim!
I'm going below. I'll stop that fellow
if he tries TO give a sign! You"
Jonesey caught his arm. In a few
words he unfolded his plan His COM
panions were delighted and immedi-
ately began putting 1T into execution.
From the jockey box Hank brought
forth two old saddle ba gs. He opened
the strong box cautiously and. while
Slim and Jonesey watched transferred
the sacks Of gold dust into them. This
done, an old blanket was whisked from
the drivers seat and wrapped around
the bags. Then the blanket was re-
placed. laden as it was with bullion.
To find a wrench, hand it to the boy
and lower him upon the double trees
was the work of an instant. The next
moment Jonesey had unscrewed the nut
from the near front wheel and had
slipped it into his pocket Then he re-
gained his seat and waited, as did Hank
and Slim, for the breakdown.
1t came. Within SO PAGES Slim swung
the six horses so the near side of the
coach took the uphill slant, and
crash-the wheel flew out and the stage
collapsed.
A moment after Sig st. Claire scram-
bled out His evil face was purple
with rage.
'"This is a great mixup!" he cursed.
But Hank cut him short.
Say. old settler, don't you start to
acting nasty now" and he watched the
other close for signs Of treachery.
you'll have to ride on to the sta
tion, Jonesey," observed Slim I'VE
can't go on without a nut and the
road is too rough TO try wiring. 1t
would be waste OF time to hunt for
il, partner"
One OF the wheelers was taken out
of harness. and while Hank engaged
ST. Claire in conversation on one side
OF the stage Slim and Jonesey on the
other side put the blanket containing
the saddle bags and the bullion upon
the animals back and fastened ii in
place with a surcingle. moment
later the boy was in the saddle.
"Git a move on, Jonesey," shouted
Hank.
YOU'D better hustle!" cried St.
Claire menacingly.
When he turned into the canyon
Jonesey brought his horse TO a walk.

youth, "and-Tm a-scared of himi.'
There was so much earnestness and
so little fear in the boys voice that
Hank and Slim, the same thought COM
ing to both, flashed significant glances
at each other The driver brought his
horses to walk.
Tell us about it," prompted the mes
senger in an undertone.
Jonesey told what had occurred when
he boarded the stage at the ranch and
also that part of his history relating
to the massacre of his parents and his
rescue by Sig st. Claire. Then, for
some time, nobody spoke.
The horses. impatient for their well
earned rest and breakfast that awaited
them at the station 10 miles away,
plunged on again. But Slim pulled
them back with a curse.
whats wrong, partner" The voice
came from below and Jonesey stiffened
in his seat.
Were kinder scared we'll get stuck
UP around here" answered Hank, 80
we're taking 1t easy. We amt caring
to have horse or two shot down"
The man laughed. swell, take it
easy for all Of me. When I'm here
amt no place else" The door slammed
as he laughed again.
Hear that?" whispered the messen-
GER And l see his gun! Had it just
inside the door as l looked over the
side!"
"Chances is speculated the driver,
well meet up with the gang in the
next hour This here fellow has his
eye on the strong box. They've found
out about this shipment of bullion and
are out to get it. When we arrive
where his pals are, he'll give 'em the
signal and they'll be on us like passel
of wolves. It's losing game. Look
here, Jonesey you watch that If you
never do another thing in your life"
He pointed to a small iron bound chest
with two heavy padlocks that lay upon
the wide footboard.
Hank. lingering his weapon uneasily
was watching ahead. His face was pale
and his eyes blazed Slim. too, had
lapsed into silence.
Not over a mile away loomed the
canyon through which the road led
Here less than a year before, two
messengers and a driver had met their
deaths at the hands of highwaymen
So the men felt anything but secure.
While the horses logged along,
Jonesey was thinking. For the first
time IL occurred to him that the road
was becoming rocky and uneven, and
that the stage swayed and and lurched

The speaker thrust his weapon into
Jonesey's face.
Half an hour later the boy drew up
before the stage station A large BODY
of horsemen was gathered outside. His
arrival caused no comment. for some
thing of Importance was being dis
cussed and all were excited
The stableman approached
Hello, Jonesey"-then as he recog-
nized the horse. what's the matter
with the tage?"
Jonesey told his story The news
spread and soon he was the center Of a
staring, interested crowd. A score OF
voices sang his praises and after the
treasure had been safely put away a
big man took him aside and said:
