Royalty and politics.

It is difficult for people in this coun-
try to understand how it happens that
in Europe all family affairs are mixed
up with politics. Five years ago the
Duchess Jutta of Mecklenburg married
the Prince DaniIo, heir to the crown
Of Montenegro. She is now at Jena,
Germany, being treated for a serious
nervous affection. 1t is well-knoWn,
say foreign papers, that this state Of
ill health is due to the reception she
recently met at the court Of Cettinje
King Nicholas has obstinately refused
to see his daughter-in-law. The sup
port given by Austria and Germany to
Italy to force him to abandon Scutari
reused him to fury. King Nicholas
win not pardon his daughter-in.law for
being German. and by his orders she
was sent over the frontier. The eff
forts made by Prince Danilo for the
reception of his unoffending wife only
meet this response from the fierce
old king: No Germans about me!
Do you hear that?@

and stopped him.

That was about the last word be
had had from Dick They had ridden
up to the city together. but they had
conyersed but little and at the Battery
the reporter shook his friends hand
and hurried away.
Dick was a dreamer; yes. But on
the basic principles Of life Dick was
right, and he had proved q good
prophet.
The sting of conscience and remorse
began to take such hold on Bob that
he ceased to share his wife's pleasures
and he found himself aggrieved and
annoyed at her extravagances. The
sight Of her costly gowns actually irri-
tated him, for he continued to lose
heavily and his entire fortune now was
less than the forty thousand dollars
with which Brand had rewarded his
duplicity It was not his losses, how
ever, that unnerved him. It was the
thought that he now had nothing of his
own making and that for every luxury
his wife enjoyed. he and she were
bounden to Brand. Jane was oblivious
to it, but that only aggravated the i'll.
He avoided her. Night after night he
remained away, urging press of busi-
ness while he was engaged in nothing
more urgent than some game Of chance
which for him had lost even the ele-
ment OF sociability. His sleeping hours
were as troubled as his wakefuI ones
and pleading extreme nervousness to
Jane, he advised that they occupy sep
arate rooms.
He dreamed constantly Of Dick and
the bungalow and of his earlier days
with Jane. And once he dreamed Of
something else. He awoke clutching
at the clothes, with beads Of cold sweat
starting from his brow and the picture
of a horrible nightmare still before
'his eyes. He had dreamed that the
dam had collapsed and that hundreds
Of persons were dead, martyrs to his
crime. And while he dreamed these
dreams Brand slept peacefully. One
was a conscience-prodded transgressor
and the other self-satisfied progress
i've.
At last Bob decided on an escape,
He determined to risk everything he
had, house and all, in final coup. II
he won, he would go away whether
Jane went or not. He could give her
enough to be comfortable on If he were
successful, and If he lost-well, there
would, at least, be a change.

''Wait. didn't know Reynolds was

"Pm afraid not" Dick answered.
From what knew and from what I've
learned now, l fear he's past fixing"
He went out into the crowd. 1t was
four o'clock. Wall and Broad streets
were filed with hurrying, scurrying
throng.
Dick, In no mood for haste, was

sides Of buildings in his more leisurely
progress toward the subway. When he
saw the mobs pouring down into the
tube at Wall and at Dey streets he
wormed his way northward along
Broadway till he found a taxi and head
ed for the Thirty-fourth street ferry.
The boat made its slip at Long

Bayside where the Reynolds lived.

terness OF these moments Reynolds
very soul was raeked and torn and In
his heart, at times, there was murder.
He wondered what Dick knew of
his actual deal with Brand. He longed
sometimes to look up the reporter and
bare the whole. story. But confession
to another would do no good now; it
would not repay the municipality he
had robbed and it would not renew the
bond of friendship with the man he
had cast aside.
When Reynolds rushed after his
wife that night he stopped for Dick
at the little place of cheer on the cor
ner. He almost dragged his friend
away, and while they waited for the
car he told his intention. He was 60

what Brand wanted Of him he would
do. He was done with poverty and
done with principle. He was going to

Washington, July 20. Urging that
