Many Of the Descendants Of the Fol-
lowers Of King otho !. Arc Found
In and Near Athens

A visitor to Athens who goes to the
neighboring village OF Heraclea Is sur
prised to see children with blue eyes
and light hair playing in the streets:
in fact they are little folk who re-
sembie but remotely the descendants
Of Pericles.
These children on the Greek soil
are descendants OF the suite and fol-
lowers of King Ohio /. When the
prince of Bavaria was called to the
throne of Greece in 1882 he was ac-
companied by soldiers. officials. pro
fessional men. workmen and shop
keepers. In plain language good
part Of the contingent was n motley
crowd OF adventurers.
Most of these remained behind aft
er the fall of the dynasty. and occupy
ing good positions today in Athens are
the bearers OF names unquestionably
German, for instance Hoesslin. Rienck
and Schauroth.

couraged the settlement OF their coun'
trymen in Greece. Queen Amelia ere

but the land uncultivated has now re-
turned to a state OF nature. The king
founded village upon which he be-
slowed the ancient title Of Heraciea.
and in view OF the brigandage he sur
rounded It with walls and gates. At
the four corners he erected small
forts. 1t had new town houses for 60
families specially reserved for Bavari.

occupied.

portance."
The count read the note twice. with
wrinkled brow, then scribbled on It In
pencil:
Impossible tonight Tell her tf
call at the embassy tomorrow morn
ing at half-past ten o'clock"
He folded the note. handed It to the
servant. and resumed his converse
tion with Mrs. WI.
Half an hour later the same servant
placed a second sealed envelope be-
side his plate. Recognizing the super
scription. the ambassador impatientiy
showed It aside. intending to disre-
gard IT. But irritated curiosity final
ly triumphed. and he opened It. A
white card on which was written this
command was his reward:
TT is necessary that you come to
the embassy at once"
There vas no signature. The hand
writing was unmistakably that of a
woman. anu Just as unmistakacIy
strange to him. He frowned a little
as he stared at It wonderingly. then
idly turned the card over. There was
no name on the reverse side-only a
crest Evidently the count recognized
this. for his impassive face reflected
surprise for an instant. and this was
followed by a keen. bewildered inter-

chauffeur.

bassador. What name did she give7"
None" was the reply. "She said
none was necessary"
The ambassador laid aside hat and
coat and entered his office with a
slightly puzzled expression on his
face. Standing before a window. gaz-
ing idly out into the light-spangled
night. was young woman, rather
tall and severely gowned in some rich,

and closed the door.

said in a tone of deep respect. please

and handed 1t to ,her. She struck a
match, lighted the card. and 1t crum-
bled up in her gloved hand. The last
tiny scrap found refuge in silver
tray. where she watched It burn to
ashes. then she turned to the ambassa'
dor with a brilliant smile. He was
still standing.
THE dinner isn't over YETI" she
inquired.

Then there's no harm done." she
went on lightly. THE dinner isn't of
any consequence. but I should like
very much to attend the ball after

coed. Madam" the ambassador object
ed difhdently. 1T woulc be rather un-
usual. difficult. may say. and"
But surely you can arrange 1t some
way?" she interrupted demurely.
The highest diplomatic representa-
tive Of a great nation should not find
1t difficult to arrange so simple a mat
ter as-as this?" She was smiling.
Pardon me for suggesting 1t. Mad

ously, but anything out of the usual
attracts attention in Washington.

pearance tonight, that you would not

She regarded him with an enigmat-
ic smile.

There's nothing dearer to a woman's s
heart than to attract attention to her
self" She laughed-a throaty. silvery
note that was charming. And II you
hesitate now, then to-morrow-why.
tomorrow I am going to ask that you

silent and deeply thoughtful for a
time. There was. perhaps. something
OF resentment struggling within him.

but beneath the still. suave surface
strange currents play at cross pur-
poses. intrigue is endless. and the
merciless war Of diplomacy goes on
increasingly. Occasionally. only oc-
casionally. a bubble comes to the sur
face, and when 1t bursts the echo goes
crashing around the earth. Some
times a dynasty Is shaken. a nation
trembles. a ministry topples over; but
the ripple moves and all Is placid
again. No man may know all that
happens there. for then he would
be diplomatic master Of the world.

So. this is Washington, And here

are all present.
The Italian ambassador. Count di

French bon mot into English for the
benefit of the dainty. doll-like wife of
the Chinese minister-who was edu-
Gated at Radcliffe-when a servant
leaned over him and laid a sealed en-.

glanced around at the servant. ex.
cused himself to Mrs. Quong Ii WI,

pens upon strange and unexpected OBJ
stacles. Knowing this. the ambassa-
dor still hesitated. The woman ap-
parently understood.
II had hoped that this would not be
necessary" she remarked. and she
produced a small. sealed envelope.
Please read It."
The ambassador received the en-
velope with uplifted brows. opened It
and read what was written on a fold
ed sheet of paper. Some subtle work
ing of his brain brought a sudden
change In the expression of his face.
There was wonder In 1t, and amaze
ment, and more than these. Again he
bowed low.
'T am at your service. Madam" he
repeated. II shall take pleasure in
necessary. Again. beg your pardon" !"
And It will not be SO very difficult,
after all. will it," she inquired. and
she smiled tauntingly.
'Tt will not be at all dificult. Mad
am" the ambassador assured her
gravely II shall take steps at once
to have an invitation issued to you for
tonight: and tomorrow I shall be
pleased to proceed as you may sug-
gest."
She nodded. He folded the note. re-
placed II in the envelope and returned
It to her with another deep bow. She
drew her skirts about her and sat
down: he stood.
1T will be necessary for your name
to appear on the invitation" the am
bassador went on to explain IF you
give me your name I'll have my sec

cuse me a moment. and I'll give my

For n minute or more Miss Thorne sat
perfectly still. gazing at the blank
wooden panels. then she rose and
went to the window again. In the dis
