During the fall and summer the

the problem, but unfortunately. har-

THE OTHER CHILDREN

Inquiries have come to tie Trib-
une since the matinee performance
of Rainbow Gold. wherein the little
folk of the country school districts
are wondering why they are not
taken into consideration when q
fairy play is given. They are read
ers OF the Tribune and are rs keen
ly interested in the entertainment
as are their little friends who live
in town.
Their queries are natural and
logical. They have right to feel
as though they might have been
overlooked in the Christmas treat
planned for the little folk. The only
thing the Tribune can do Is To ex-
plain the situation and promise
what it can for the future.
There are too many children in
Greeley and the surrounding dis
tricts to be accommodated at u
single performance in Greeley. be-
cause there is not an auditorium
large enough. The little folk Of
Greeley were considered first he
cause they were near to the opera
house, they had their teachers with
them, and could be safely home
DefOIe supper time. 1t WAS NO dis
elimination against the children
who attend the country schools not
to invite tflem-it WAS merely .
case OF accommodating all the
young people who could be accom-
nsoiated. That Is why only the
school children Of Greeley were in
cluded in the Tribune invitation.
Now, just to show all Of the juv-
emile readers OF the Tribune that
we mean well by all of them. the
Tribune Is going to try to persuade
Miss Tol,ey and her clever assist
ants to give Rainbow Gold all over
again especially for the little folk
who go to school in the country
districts, and WHO can come into
Greeley some Saturday afternoon
the country districts to be patient
for . while and II 1t can be arrang
ed they, too. shOl have . treat.

CHAPTER X.
The Promise.

l"Mon Dleul" said the general.
IL was six years later. At the new
chateau not a blade Of grass seemed
changed. The general stood In the
midst OF close-cropped millions OF
blades of grass as he stopped short
on the sloping lawn which led down
to the white stone steps which led TO
tho sunken garden. Alike, in her rid
ing habit. with n feather In her hat,
and gauntleted gloves on her hands,
was so lovely as to be startling. She
looked at the ground, half shy. half
laughing. and beat the grass with her
riding.whip. Francois wac leaning
toward her and talking, and the gen.
eral, coming slowly down the lawn,
felt a food Of pride rise in him as he
looked at this successful picture Of a
boy which he had done so much to
fashion. The two had been riding to
gether, and Francois appeared, as
most men do, at his best in riding
clothes. With that, as the general
marched slowly down the velvet slope,
unseen by them, regarding them his
girl and his boy, this happy sister and
brother-with that the brother lifted
his sisters hand and, bending over 1t,
kissed It slowly, in a manner unmls-
takably unbrotherly.
Mon Dieu!" gasped the general,
and turned on his heel and marched
back to his library.
All that afternoon he stayed shut
up in the library. At dinner he was
taciturn.
The next morning the general sent
for Francois to come to him In the
library. A letter had been brought a
short time before and vas lying open
on the table by his hand.

deep abrupt tones, 81 am in trouble.

SUFFERS LEGAL
FIGHT STARTED
Opens Proceedings to Regain
Governorship.
ToGO TO U. S. SUPREME COURT
New York Supreme Court Orders the
Comptroller To Show Why He
Should Not Pay lmpeaehed
Official Full Salary.

Albany, N. William Sulzer In
stituted legal proceedings before JUS
tlce Alden Chester, of the Supreme
Court, with the purpose of regaining
the governorship, from which he was
removed last October.
An order was issued by the court
commanding Comptroller Sohmer to
appear and show cause why a writ OF
mandamus. compelling him to pay the
former governor his full salary as the
occupant Of that office, should not be
Issued. Mr.. Sulzer previously had
made a written demand on Mr.. Sohmer
for his salary.
When Attorney Carmody notified
Justice Chester that he would oppose
the granting Of the writ, the court said
he intended to refuse II as a matter OF
law, holding that the court of impeach.
ment already had passed on the con-
tentlons OF Mr.. SulIer.
An agreement then was made. be-.
tween the Attorney General and Col.
Alexander S. Bacon, counsel for Mr..
Sulzer, to facilitate the determination
OF the questions involved by the state
courts. The Appellate Division VIII
be asked TO affirm Justice Chester's
proposed order denying the granting OF
the writ and then the case Will be
carried to the Court OF Appeals, where
q similar request will be made. Thus
Mr.. Sulzer will be able to file his
case I'm the Supreme Court OF he
United States with little delay, 1t Is
believed. Doubt is expressed. how
ever, II a final decision can be obtained
from the Supreme Court before the
term of Governor Glynn, successor to
Mr.. Sulzer, shall have expired, on De-
cember 81. 1914.
The contentious raised by Mr.. Sulzer
we're passed on fully by the court OF
impeachment. Chief among them are
that the Assembly action in impeach-
Ing was Illegal; hat the court of Inn
peachment was illegally organized !;
that six members of the court had no
right to sit. and that the acts with
which he was charged were committed
before he took office.
This is the first proceeding instituted
by Mr.. Sulzer to test the validity OF
his removal from office. Two other
actions have been started by residents
of New York city, but the former gov
ernor has disclaimed all connection
with them.

Francois smiled. and something in
the smile wrung the generals heart.
Francois, you are not going to be
unhappy about little Alixe?"t
Quickly Francois threw back, as II
he had not heard the question: MY

startled now. "A thousand tnunders
but you are a sudden ladl Yet 1t will
be no harder to give you up tomorrow
than It would be next month. Yes. to.
morrow, then, let II be-"
Francois stood up, slim, young. alert
and steady. yet somehow not as the
boy who had come in to the general
an hour before; more, perhaps, as a
man who had been through a battle
and come out very tired. with the
noise of the fighting in his ears.

my mother and my father. And this
afternoon | will ride with Alike, II you

"And-and you will do what you

A quick contraction twisted Fran
co.'s sensitive mouth and was gone,
but this time the general saw. you
may trust me, my S%eigneur," the boy
said, and moved to the door; but the
general called to him as his hand
touched the latch.
"Francoie!"
Eyes, my Seigneur." He faced about,
steady and grave, and stood holding
the door.
Francois, my son-I have not hurt
you-very much? You do not love
Alixe-deeply? DO you love her. Fran
cois?"
There was a shock of stiffness in the
old dim library. Through the window
where the children's shouts had
come in ten. years before to the mar
quis and the general-one heard now
in the quiet the sudden staccato of a
late cricket. The general, breathing
a~nxiously, looked at Francois, Fran
co.'s standing like a statue. The gen.
eral repeated his question softly,
breathlessly. DO you love her. Fran
cois?"
With that the great eyes blazed and
the whole face Of the boy lighted as

agreed laconically.
And then without questions asked,
