ne told him so and Mr.. Dudley insisted
that the statements in the article were
accurate. Mr. Miller then characterized
the article as lie, 1t is stated. Mr.

Resolutions eondemning the action of

Vagaries of the Night

1t will be simple proposition to
take the king" Van Tasel explained
Ben, it was Providence that caused
me to fall into that tunnel. Through
it, Lucretia will escape from the cas-
tie, and through the same exit l shall
take Leander, a little later. While you
and the princess are on the way to
LuXembrant in the He'll Diver, Le-
ander and l will be sailing in the Sea
Gull to the cannibal island"
His face was long for a moment, as
he thought of the princess, but he
rallied.
ITO drop down the Hudson on a dark
night, and sail away with his majesty,
will be the easiest piece of royal kid
naping ever put through"
He laughed loudly; then checked
himself.
Il imagine he added, that the dis
appearance of the king will be some
thing of sensation, eh, Fosdick
With the king thus disposed of, his
adherents in LuXembrant will have
nothing to fight for. The revolution
will be the merest farce. Lucretia will
take the throne without a drop of blood
being spilled. Besides avenging my
self. I'll be doing the world a noble
service"
"A service" assented Fosdick, that
will entitle you to be consort to the
queen"
Van Tasel shook his head

don't be so violent. However, you're
talking like Van Tasel again, who
never says die. You are not the S 1rt
of a man to take a girls answer as
irrevocable, if you really want her"
There was something like hope in
Van Tasels answer
DO you really think, Ben, that I'd
be justified in making love to r

glasses of wine, handed one to Van

Van Tasel hesitated. Then he
drained his glass.

the most charming of princesses, the
truest and best! May she have
strength to fulfill her high duties
and"
and the wisdom to marry Van
Tasel-a real king!' concluded Fos-
dick.
The next instant, however, the hope
lessness of his cause came over Van
Tasel with a rush. He sat down, the
picture of despair
ut is all very well to talk he said
but there's no chance for me, Ben
not the slightest. For Van Tasel, love
is buried. 1t is gone forever. There's
nothing left but HATE-and 1 propose
to take that out on the king if 1 catch
him."
His face Frightened
After all, Ben, it'll be worth living
for-to revenge myself on that mon
ster in royal garb. It's the chance of
a lifetime-of the century. I'll venture
to say that no such sport as capturing
a king ever fell to the lot of young
daredevil in New York before. Sport!
Why, hunting lions in the African
jungles wouldn't compare with it,"
Quite enthused at the prospect, Van
Tasel unfolded his plan to his chum.

plest thing in the world. The prin-

He frowned ON Fosdick's hilarity.
Under Van Taseis reDufe Fosdick
sat up and swore that if he ever
laughed again until after the fair Lu-
cretia was queen beyond doubt, he
hoped to be drawn and quartered.
Van Tasel," he said, eff ever a
man deserved a queen for a bri lie that
man is you. Go in and win her. Don't
take her rejection as serious, old man.
She'll marry you yet, take my word
for it, Faint heart, my boy, never
won a queen. You'll be king of Lux
tmbrant yet"
Van Tasel shook his head sadly.
They don't want an American king
over there. I'd be the laughing stock
of Europe"
"Nonsense!" declared Fosdick. why.
if you were king, Van Tasel, you'd
put some life into the old-fogy court. >
It's impossible mOaned Van
Tasel. Impossible. Ben; the princess
has sterner duties than marriage.
Her rejection is final, and I am sworn
to forget my love for her l have al
ready forgotten it, Ben"
His doleful face belied his Wor Is,
and Fosdick laughed.
IF you don't go after her and win
her, oath or no oath" he predicted
rashly, 'I'n wager a thousand dollars
right now that Leander will show up
in Luxembrant after you let him go
on the cannibal island and marry her
after all. Do you take the wager?"
Fosdick's prophecy had an invigor-
ating effect on Van Tasel, who leaped
to his fet with a savage glare in h s
eyes.
IF 1 thought So" he cried, "by
heaven I'd"
He shook his clenched fist at Fosdick
and his teeth came shut with an omi-
nous snap.
"If I thought so. Fosdick. I'll fo"-
swear my OATH and instead of kidnap
ing the king I'd kidnap the princess.
If I thought that Leander would ever
renew his suit for her hand. I'd tatn
her, instead of him, and on a still
longer cruise"
Fosdick smiled.

CHAPTER XVI
To Capture a King

Fosdi refused at list to lend credul-
ity to this astonishing declaration of
Van Tasel.
Capture the king" he echoed. "You
are talking nonsense How can you
capture the king-in New York? Why
he's surrounded by agents and guards
and a whole regiment of spies and pro-
tectors. If you lived in Roumania in
stead of New York I suppose you might
turn brigand and bear him away to
some inaccessible cave, where you could
hold him a prisoner until the princess
was firmly seated on the throne of
LuXembrant Such things have been
done-at least in fiction. But in New
York"
Fosdick shrugged his shoulders as
token of his disapproval of so hair
Drained a scheme.
why not in New York;" asked Van
Tasel.
Fosdick stared harder than ever He
was quite accustomed TO the dare
deVitry of his chum, but this piece of
foolhardiness quite exceeded anything
Van Tasels fertile brain had evolved
in the years Fosdick had known him.
"Kidnap a king in New York, and
hold him prisoner, on no legal COM
plaint?" he demanded why, Van
Tasel I'm inclined to believe that this
love affair of yours is really turning
your head. Even supposing you should
get hold of the king, and get him locked
up in the Tombs, theys have him out
in no time an a babeas corpus"
Van Tasel regarded his chum with
a mixture of scorn and pity
"Habeas corpus!" he repeated in dis
gust Bother your habeas corpus
Did you ever know a knight-errant to
worry his head over a habeas corpus?
I'm not sure that I know just what
sort of a thing it is. though I kroN
that you legal icicles swear by it. The
first thing you do when a fellow gets
thrown into Jail is to run for a habe1s
corpus. If I ever get my ha"ds on
the king no habeas corpus will help
him. you can depend on that"
you're getting crazier every min
ute" said Fosdick. Having caught
Leander, what do you propose to do
with him? Tie a stone around his
neck. I have no doubt, and drop him
into the Hudson"

drowning would be too mild a death
for the king of LuXembrandt, who
richly deserves being burned at the
