manded the fearful little dancer.
1T was not you. 1t was His

Q"een is furious. She told me to

back to Paris at once"
L'Aerolia Travelled back discon-
solately to France, her dolls sitting
primly on the seat OF the compart-
ment beside her. She told her
mother the story and Aeroia the
elder shook her head and sighed.
It's the old story" she said, "of

said: Men are stupid things" The
young man proved it, for he fell
into a fury of jealousy, upbraiding
L'Aerolia, and crying:

up" They ran, three of them. with
their eyebrows still sticky with
black, their plain faces still gro
tesque with the red and white of
their applied stage compilations, to
the royal palace as fast as their
legs would carry them.
So fast did they run that they Sot
there before His Majesty arrived.
Breathlessly they told the tale OF
the kiss to the attendants The
attendants told the ladies in wait
ing to Queen Elizabeth And when
the royal osculator arrived at the
palace he received a greeting as
stormy as that extended to any
average man who becomes unduly
emotional outside his own domes-
tic circle
The incident might have been
forgotten or reduced to the mere
whispering state. but King Albert
was indiscreet. as indiscreet as any
mere uncrowned mortal. Having
explained to the Queen as other
men explain such matters-the girl
was so young, a mere child. he
meant no harm, propinquity. not

would forget But women and
queens never forget.
When a few months had passed
there arrived in the apartments
which L'Aerolia shared with her
mother, herself dancer named
Aerolia, and widow of the Spanish
officer, Captain Enrico Doradora,
royal command to dance at court
entertainment in the palace at
Brussels.
L'Aerolia went. She went for the
thousand francs that had always
been paid to her when she danced
before royalty. What did she care
for me kiss of a king? Had She
not when a babe sat upon the royal
knee of King Leopold? Did she not
know the Prince of Monaco, for
whom she had danced? Was she
not a protegee of Queen Wilhel-
nina. for whom she had danced
a score of times? Ever since she
could remember she had been dane
ing. and ever since she had been
dancing she had danced for Hol-
Ianus Queen What is kiss?
Pouff! Especially a kiss undesired.
Was she not in love, desperately In
love- though he was only a poor
journalist of Holland, and though
her mother did not approve? What
are kings to a girl who is in love
with a poor young man, poor but
oh! so handsome and so very ar
dent?
She had joyous thoughts for her
companions on that journey from
Paris to Brussels, joyous thoughts
and her three dolls, for L'Aerolis
still plays with dolls.
She drove from the station to the
