an old instinct-was TO cover her

"Caslno-Central park-go fast;
she said. During the drive she stared
straight ahead and talked In low I'M
dertones to herself.
This was an old habit, born of her
half-believed, half-assumed medium
ship" In her days OF active practice.
In these later days she was still wont
to argue out in soft phrases OF her
lips the problems of her soul. One
who had overheard these scattered
phrases now would have known that
she was still lighting for q decision.

me lately?" she was saying as they
swept into the Park entrance, Cant

how will Martin look at it-Martin!"
A little later, as the taxlcab took
the rolling drive beside park lake,
she was saying:
tho chair-I could never live through
It'd die, too" II seemed that upon
this statement she made her decision.
for she talked TO herself no more I'M
til the taxicab rolled up before the
Casino and stopped. And as she rose.
her smile broke out for the first time
in that passage. But It was a grave
smile, whose softness did not reach
to her eyes-as though one smiled
with the humor OF God at the tragic
comedy In this world.

she'll always believe It. what's more, "
she said.
The piazza of the Casino, so gay and
colorful In summer, lay bleak and bare
now under the cold November wind

what with the tensity of her soul,

Didn't you find it distinguished, sir?"
'No!' l shouted. 'Pve eaten bad

Prince Frederick William, first son of
the House of Hohenzollern is once
more in disgrace with his impetuous
royal father. The Kaiser thinking
the young prince would bear watch

with his regiment, the Deaths Head
Hussars, and set to work in the Of
fees of the General Staff in Berlin.
Now it appears if there is one thing
TO make the Crown Prince display his
naughtiness more than another. it
is to keep him cooped up in an office.
The Kaiser is beginning to despair
of him, and has about decided to let
the prince go on a hunting trip to
Africa. believing at the same time
there is imminent danger he will
break his royal young neck. There
has never been much love lost be-

About the only delight the Crown
Prince retains nowadays is to burn
