Bobby's poor little head had slipped
over to q most uncomfortable position
against the arm of the chair. Putting
his finger to lips, the grand duke tip
toed carefully up to the throne With
very gentle hands he lifted Bobby's
head and. infinitely tender. stuffed a
throne cushion behind the curly head.
A splendid smile in his eyes. he tip
toed back to his chair.
AS he passed Count Halfont, who
had risen, he whispered:
Dear little man. 1 do not forget.
nv lord. that was once boy God
bless him"
Then he sat down, conscious of
fine feeling OF goodness. folded his
arms across his expansive chest and
allowed his beaming eyes TO rest upon
the sleeping boy FAR DacK IN the cna1r
of state. Incidentally he decided to
delay a few days before taking up
the bond question with the ministry.
The grand duke was not an ordinary
diplomat
In one of the curtained windows,
far removed from the throne. sat
TruxtOn King and Lorraine Tullis-
All about them people were watch
ing the delicate little scene. smiling
drowsily 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, refus-
ing to obey the slender viii that ar
gued against complete surrender At
last her soft. regular breathing told
him that she was asleep. Awaiting
his opportunity, 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 nodded.
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 half open
his sleep bound eyes. The grand duke
leaned forward with his hand TO his
ear and listened He had seen the
boys lips move. AFrom dreamland

TN Graustark, but not in New York.
That reminds me- You'll be more than
baroness-mOre than a princess.
You will be a queen. Don't you catch
the point? You viii be Mrs. King"
The Grand Duke Paulus was dis
tinctly annoyed He had travelled
many miles. endured quite q number
of hardships. and all to no purpose.
When dawn came his emiSsaries re
turned from the city with the lamen-
table information that the government
had rigEted itself. that Marlanx's sen
satiOnal revolution was at an end and
that the regents would be highly hon
ored if his excellency could overlook
the distressingly chaotic conditions at
court and condeseend to pay the cas-
tie a visit.
The grand duke resolved that. he
would visit the castle in Il very in
formal way. extend his congratulations
and offer his services. which he knew
would be declined with thanks. Incl
dentally he would mention the bond
issue; also he would find the oppor
tunity to suggest to the ministry that
his government still was willing to
make large grants and stupendous
promises if any sort Of arrangement
could be made by which the system
might be operated in conjunction with
branch lines of the imperial roads.
And so it was that at midday he
rode in pomp and splendor through
the city gates, attended by his staff
and rather overpowering bodyguard.
The grand duke. with all the AFRO
gance OF a real parsonage. was late. 1t
was not for him to consider the con
ditions that distressed the court Of
Graustark-nOt at all He was a
grand duke and he would take his own
time in paying his respects. When he
finally presented himself at the castle
doors a sleepy group Of attendants
actually yawned in his presence.

county, at the forks and cross roads,

board, containing an inscription in
legible letters directing the way and
distance to the town or towns or
public place or places. situated on
each road respectively" Comment
ing on this, The Columbia: Record
says that ''in the first place, it is
hard to understand why the General
Assembly did not, while it was about
it, make this very important pro-
vision mandatory, rather than per-
missory-for the erection of such sign
boards would impose upon any given
county an expense only nominal in
proportion to the certain benefits
that the Improvement would confer
on travellers" The absence of sign
boards to guide the traveller is a
typical inconvenience in the South,

Why This Reign Of Violence?

Bloodshed, violence-crime gen
erally-seems to be epidemic almost.
Contempt for law is aggressive.
judicial procedure is archaic,
smothered in technicality that fights
on the side OF the criminal rather
than upon the side of society.
The statute against concealed wea-
pons is enforced only in theory. In ac-
tuality, it is violated upon a large
scale in every county in this state!
The result of these conspiring pro-
vocations is inevitable.
People, like the lower animals, ex-
perience an excess of energy and
restlessness in the spring. That
part is purely psychological.
The rest is NOT psychological.

The smashing ofpolitical organiza-

contest for the position he now holds.
But such occurrences are seldom

revolutionize what is. and set to

will ever enjoy the confidence Of the
people, the sine quinOn to successful
leadership. Most any sort of man
can deface and tear down even a
great structure, but it takes men
who count for something to create
it. The most troublesome setbacks
which come to free and independent
