In one of the curtained win
dows, far removed from the
throne, sat Truxton King and
Lorraine Tullis.
All about them people were
watching the delicate little scene,
smiling drowslly at the Grand
Dukes tender comedy. No one
was looking at the two in the
curtained recess. Her hand was
in his, her head sank slowly to-
ward his inviting shoulder; her
heavy lids dropped lower and
lower, refusing to obey the slen-
der will that argued against com
plete surrender. At last her soft,
regular breathing told him that
she was asleep. Awaiting his OPP
portunity, he tenderly kissed the
soft, brown hair, murmured a
gentle word of love, and settled
his own head against the thick
cushions.
Everywhere they dozed and nod
ded. The Grand Duke smiled and
blinked his little eyes. He was
very wide awake.
That is how he happened to see
the Prince move restlessly and

NO PRESERVATiVES
USED, SAYS WILSON

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Feb.
10.~Delegates to the National
Gamers association convention
here are in receipt todsy of an
edmonton from Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson. The secretary's
warning Is that the packers and
Gamers should beware of mixing
in the controversy over the use of
personalities.
1.-THE packers of canned goods
cannot be advantaged by becom-
ing involved in a controversy
which has no natural connection
with their business" reads the
secretary's open letter to the con-
vention.
American canned goods are
the best in the world and need no
preservatives. We know the cad
ners of the country use no preser-
vatives in their goods and / de-
sire to have conveyed to the or
ganization now in session my hope
that the Gamers will refuse to be
made the tools of those interests
which are fighting the rulings of
the national government under
the pure food acts"

Grand Duke coughed emphatical-
ly, cleared his throat, and grew
very red in the face.
The Court of Graustark was
distinctly dismayed. Here was
shocking state of affairs. The
prince going to sleep while a
grand duke talked!
Ills Majesty appears to have
|ahem-gone to sleep" remarked
the Grand Duke tartly, interrupt
ing himself to address the Prime
Minister.
He is very tired, your excel
lency," said Count Halfont, very
much distressed. pray consider

apologize for him. i quite under
stand. Someone had laughed soft
ly' behind his back.
Il will awaken him, your ex-
cellency," said the prime minis
ter, edging toward the throne.
Not at all, sir" protested the
visitor. Permit him to have his
sleep out, sir. 1 will not have him
disturbed. Who am l that should
defeat the claims of nature? 1t
is my pleasure to wait until his
majesty's nap is over. Then he
may dismiss us, but not until we
have cried: Long live the
Prince!"
For awhile they stood in awk-
ward silence, this notable gather
ing of men and women. Then the
prime minister, in hushed tones,
suggested that it would be emf
nently proper, under the circum-
stances, for all present to be seat
ed. He was under the impress
sion that his serene highness
would sleep long and soundly.
Stiff-backed and uncomfort-
able, the court sat and waited. No
one pretended to conceal the bliss
full yawns that would not be de-
MED. A drowsy, ineffable languid
feeling took possession of the
entire assemblage. Here an6
there a noble head nodded slight
ly; eyelids fell in the silent war
against the god of slumber, only
to revive again with painful ener-
|gy and overwhelming courage.
The prime minister sat at the
foot of the throne and nodded in
spite of himself. The minister of
the treasury was breathing so
heavily that his neighbor nudged
him just in time to prevent some
thing even more humiliating. John
Tullis, far back near the wall, had
his head on his hand. bravely
fighting off the persistent demon.
Prince Dantan of Dawsbergen was
sound asleep.
The Grand Duke was wide
awake. He saw 1t all and was
equal to the occasion. After all,
he was kindly old gentleman,
and, once his moment of mortifi-
cation was over, he was not above
charity.
Bobby's poor little head had
slipped over to a most uncomfort-
able position against the arm of
the chair. Putting his finger to
his lips, the Grand Duke tiptoed
carefully up to the throne. With
very gentle hands he lifted Bob
by's head, and, infinitely tender,
stuffed throne cushion behind
the curly head. Still with his fin
ger to his lips, a splendid smile in
his eyes, he tiptoed back to his
chair.
AS he passed Count Halfont,
who had risen. that I was once a
boy. God bless hint"
Then he sat down, conscious of
"a fine feeling of goodness, folded
his arms across hts expansive
chest, and allowed his beaming
eyes to rest upon the sleeping boy
far back In the chair of state. In
cidentally, he decided to delay q
few days before taking up the
bond question with the ministry.
The Grand Duke was not an ordi-
nary diplomat.

If you go often to moving pic
ture shows, you are familiar with
this face. The woman is Mrs.
Frank p. Hulett of New York. She
has appeared in some of the most
elaborate moving picture plays
ever produced.
Until the time her daughter was
born Mrs. Hulett was on the
stage, more or less, appearing in
some big productions. She gave
up the stage, however, to care for
the baby, but when the moving
picture firms began to seek act
resses Mrs. Hulett found she could
do that work easily, without inter
fering with home routine.

 Posse on Search.

Pitsburg, Kan, Feb. 5.-Three un- identified men held up the passengers m an eastbound Missouri Pacic train flee miles east of here tonight. They were unmasked. About $40O and a small amount of jewelry was taken from the passengers.
 The robbers boarded the train on the outskirts of Pittsburg. They took seats in the chair car and rode onet- ly along until the train was near Cor nell, Kan. There they leaped from their seats, backed Conductor Garrity into corner, and drawing revolvers, warned him not to call for assistance
 One of the robbers then covered the passengers with two large revowers.
 You will not prepare to give up your valuables,' he said My part ner here will pass among you. Please be quiet.'
 The partner" thereupon produced a gnnny sack and started on his col lecting tour.
 From each passenger he took every. thing of value. Money, watches, dia. monds and rings all went into the sack.
 One woman screamed and tainted. The collector calmly lifted ring from her finger, picked up her purse and passed on to the next victim. Pas. sengers revived the woman after the robbers left the peach.
 Throughout thep rogress of the rob bery the train hurried ahead Not one of the crew, with the exception of the conductor. knew a robbery was being perpetrated
 When the lights in the town of Cor. nell loomed into view, several of the passengers at the rear of the coach, who had not been reached by the rob- bers, hoped they would escape with their valuables and they began plac. ing themN back in their pockets. But they were doomed to disappointment.
 Just because the train stopped at the station the robbers did not hurry away. The robber with the gunny sack stripped the last passenger in the car of his goods and then cpe three dropped off the train and disap- peared down an alley into the town.
 No attempt was made to rob the ex. press car.
 Sheriff Merriweather and a score Of deputies soon began searching for the men. They are believed to be hang ers-on of the mining camps in the northern part of the county.

Reports Received State That the In. surgents Number About 5000 and Are Expecting Reinforce
 nents at Granada.

Bluefelds, Nicaragua, Feb 5.--Dis patches received here describe the en- gagement which took place between the insurgents under General Mena and the government troops.
 In an official dispatch General Mena says that he defeated 600 of the enc. my, commanded by General Garrida, Guatemalean, at Las Garritas, mid way between La Latitia and Juiglipa Mena completely routed the enemy capturing many prisoners and rifles The losses to the Madriz forces were heavy, while the provisionals suffered but slightly.
 Mena is pushing forward to join General Chamorro at Comapa, which is well along the way to Managua.
 Comoapa in the last few dys in his advance upon the capital executed a flank movement, thus evading the Madriz troops, who expected to en- gage him at Acoyapa Comoapa is one and a half days from Teustepe, in Managua province, with clear road from there to Granada.
 The Madriz forces, the dispatch says, have retreated to Santo Domln- go, directly to the north of Teustepe General Chamorro holds all the lines to the interior and the enemy behind him is completely cut off.
 General Aurelio Estrada, brother of the president of the provisional gov ernment, has 1,200 men in the hills six miles from Managua, having sue. cessfully organized rising some time ago, completely under the nose of the administration and he will join Cha. morro and Mena on the march to Man. agua.
 The provisional government expects that the people of Granada and Rivas will reinforce the provisionals, making Estrada's army 6,000 strong. Great excitement prevails here. The expe- dition which went to Greytown on the gunboat Ometepe has returned after having been fired on number of times by the batteries. No landing was affected. A courier from Cha morro, bearing dispatches to General Mena was captured by tho Madriz soldiers and shot.
