The "White kinus,"

Purple has always been considered
the royal color. The i'll. fated Charles
l. was, however, at his own desire,
crowned in a robe Of white. Although
he was seriously reminded that of the
two exceptions to this rule, Richard II.
and Henry VI, who wore white satin
robes at their ~coronations, both had
com to a violent end. n at Ponte-
tract castle and II in the Tower,
Charles /. was r%esolute in his decision,
and when, twenty-three years after
ward, almost to a day, his body was
conveyed to it's grave through a heavy
snowstorm the superstitious could not
help remarking that the third white
king had suffered a violent death

Cohen laughed
disagreeably, Isidora jumped, and Mrs.
Millions party looked at each other
from under lifted eyebrows.
In the confusion of the breakage
Loveland found himself again. Pride
came to his rescue-not mere hurt van
ity, but a truer pride than had ever
made his heart beat high.
AS he bent down to pick UP the bro
ken plates he told himself that these
people; who had come to plunge him
still deeper in humiliating depths, were
not worth a pang and should not see
that they had power to infict it.
For one short instant he detested
Mrs. Milton SO intensely that he half
regretted his vow to spare her name at
all hazards, but by the time he had
picked up the last piece of broken
crockery he knew that if everything
We're to come owe again he would do
as he had done.
II take. dat out of your wages" said
Alexander, loudly enough to be heard
by those who sat round the table heal
to the curtained door.
"Of course" replied Loveland, his
voice steady.
II shouldn't have thought the Brit
ish aristocracy would have such clum-
sy ways" Leo Cohen remarked audi
bly, to Isidora, then called jocularly
across the room, "Say, Alexander, got
any mock turtle soup tonight?
"No," growled Alexander.
Thought you might be making a
speciality of it this week." went on
Cohen.
''Why?"
ooh, cute idea for an advertisement
mock turtle served by mock mar
quis.'"
A litter went round the room among
those who had enough English to un-
derstand the joke, and there was even
a faint, suppressed sound of laughter
at Mrs. Millions table.
Loveland turned white. He had an
impulse to hurl the broken dishes now
collected On the tray straight at
Cohen's oiled black head, and a week
ago he would have done so without
stopping to reflect. But he had lived
longer in six days since landing in
New York than in as many years be-
fore, and he was learning a lesson
which no n had even tried to teach
him In the past-mastery of himself.
Pale, but perfectly composed in ap-
pearance, he did not even look toward
Cohen and seemed to take no more
notice of the young mans imperti-
n than Of the barking Of some
mongrel dog, too feeble to be kicked.
Ardently Loveland longed to get out
of the room and to stay out; but,
though he could have escaped by car
rying the broken dishes into the
kitchen, he would not deign to turn
his back on the enemy. He gave the
tray to Blinkey and obeyed a gesture
OF Alexander's which sent him to take
anew order from the Italians.
II don't believe he'll come. to wait on

Kidd. III he doesn't It will have been

TWAS at this moment that Mrs. Mil

MI. Cohen murmured his comment to
lsidora, who at her fathers suggestion
was lowering about that young gentle
mans table, looking her prettiest.
Tony Kidd at Mrs. Millions request
mad t%elephoned for a table for eight,
to be withdrawn as far as possible
from the big front window, thai din
ner and diners need not be criticised
by the man in the street, and as Love-
land pushed back the red drapery, car
rying a tray loaded with ice cream for
the Italians, he looked straight into the
eyes Of Elinor Coolidge, Mrs. Milton
and the newspaper man, Tony Kidd.
Not since early morning had he
found a moments rest. He had had
no appetite and would have had little
time to eat even if he had been hup-
CRY. The days work had irritated and
unnerved him up to the last notch of
his endurance. No battle of his brief
but lively South African experience
had cost him, physically OF mentally,
as much as these thirteen hours Of
waiting on Alexander's customers, and
the sudden sight of those familiar
faces, smiling coolly on his shame.
came upon him like a volley of bull
lets from a quick firing gun.

strove to break them in. Some one
had smashed a hole in the thick plate

dangerous draft, but not large enough
to give a means Of retreat for any Of
the men and women who, with cut and
bleeding hands, struggled to squeeze
through the Jagged opening.

when suddenly the whole restaurant
seemed alive with dry. cracking ex-
plosions, and in the same instant the
electric lamps went out. The room,
a moment ago brilliantly lighted, was
black as a vault save for a glimmer
from the street that shone through the
window. Then. as every one jumped
up, overturning chairs or breaking
glasses in their hurry and the shrieks
of the Italian women mingled with
the strange cracking sounds, there
came from somewhere at the back a

roaring like a blast furnace. Men
cried out In amazed alarm, and the

ant. with Blinkey, who had been busy
in the kitchen, and all three shouted
wildly, 'Fire, fire!'
The restaurant was in a state of
chaos. A long jet of fame sweeping
out from the kitchen and across the
narrow passage caught the curtain in
the doorway. up which little serpents
OF fire began to crawl. Every woman
was screaming now in a panic of fear
whipped to horror by the red dark
ness and the cracking explosions which
snapped and spluttered on every side.
The excitable Italians chartered and
struggled with one another in the dark.
the new Polish waiter ran here and
there like a frightened chicken that
sees the AK. the two negroes were al
most in commissions, and Tony Kidd
called vainly on the Hungarian BROTH
ers and De Rocheverte for help in
bringing order out Of confusion.
At the time Of the first explosion
Loveland had been quietly setting a
plate of fried chicken before Tony,
and as the journalist leaped from his
seat the two young men were close to-
gether.
"Short circuiting; escape from a fused
gas piper Loveland yelled through the
noise.
Yes. that's it," the reporter shouted
back mechanically as if to a friend.
Then for Il few seconds Tony was
overwhelmed by a wild rush of fright

he saw a crowd fighting to reach the
window and the closed front door of

shouts. smashing glass. falling chairs
and foreign eXclamations rallied the
women's courage. AS Tony held Elinor
the three others passed near him, de.
serted by the foreigners of their party
and in the bloodshot blaze all saw
Loveland's tall figure apparently plunge
into the flame. He made a dash
through the doorway, his arms thrown
across his eyes to shield them from the
fire, and ten seconds later the loud
roaring ceased as suddenly as it had
begun. The cracklings had ceased, too,
for the short circuiting was over, and
the stream of gas burnt itself out an
instant after Loveland seized the han.

blazed; the stairway in the passage,
the door frames in the kitchen and
