Niklas "You know that the mobiliza-
ton of the Montenegrin troops has
cost me lot Of money"
"You are a fool to 60 to war, Mix
las" said the king bluntly. 81 shall
be compelled to occupy your terri
tory"
"But, my dear son-in-law, we have
not yet gone to war;" replied Niklas
suavely. Mobilization does not nee
essarily mean war. However, as !
was saying. it has cost me a good
round sum-a hundred thousand liras.
In fact, and II have 20 call on you
to preserve my throne for me, when
fly in the face of my country's wish
and refuse to fight"
$50 you want q hundred thousand
liras?" demanded King Victor.
Immediately" responded the old
man.. "The bank at Vienna wires me
that my account Is overdrawn. I
thought I had some money left, but
I don't know how I am going to get
home, in fact"
King Victor reflected Having re-
fused one favor. he was naturally in
the mood to bestow another in COM
pensation. His ambassador at Vienna
had telegraphed him that day that
Niklas' account was overdrawn. II
Niklas went to war with Austria his
Vienna funds would at once be con-
fiscated; to place a sum of money to
his credit there would insure the
crafty old mans keeping the peace.
Prince Niklas saw his irresolution.
and produced a piece Of paper from
his waistcoat pocket
"If you will send that to the am
bassador at Vienna" he said, you
will earn my eternal gratitude, and I
assure you you shall hear no more
pleas for neutrality on the part Of
Italy"
King Victor read the paper as fol-
lows:
place in the Chernagara vaults liras
100000 at par Paris our order, and we
demand be promptly entered to H. H.
account and be credited all allow
ance."
"Di San Giovanni, said the king,
tossing the paper toward the marquis,
what do you think of this?"
The Marquis shrugged his shoulders
eff your majesty wishes it to be paid.
it will not seriously affect your rev.
enues," he answered.
Then wire It to our ambassador at
Vienna" said the king, and, ignoring
the old princes protestations of graft
tude, he stalked out of the room.
AS soon as he had gone old Niklas
who. besides being poet, prides him
self upon his penmanship. sat down to
embellis.l the document with much
flourishing of capitals and chiro-
graphic idiosyncrasies. Now, whether
the marchess suspected something.

expression, but for the benefit Of any
who are not will explain that Italia
Irredenta-unredeemed Italy-is the
name given to that portion of the Aus
trian Nominations on the north and
east shores Of the Adriatic which Is
inhabitated by Italians and has not
yet been regained by the Italian peo-
pie. It Is, Of course. the existence
under Austrian rule of this strip of
territory that is the cause of all Italy's
heartburnings against the dual mon
archy
"Now, Victor" continued the old
man grimly. "if you 60 too far in sup
port Of Austria and Germany you
are going to lose your throne. You
haven't any job. And how do you ex-
pect to support my daughter as a con-
noisseur of coins?"
This bantering allusion to the kings
well-known hobby of coin collecting
reused his majesty to white-hot fury.
He jumped out of his chair.

claimed. you will leave Italy at once

who had been trying vainly to catch
Niklas' eye.
But, as he was stalking Indignantly
out Of the room, with one of those dra-
matte changes of mood that charac-
terize the southern Slav, Prince Niklas
threw himself upon his knees before
him, barring his way to the door.
Forgive me, Victor!" he exclaimed
in penitence. catching at the kings
hand and raising it to his lips. do

Niklas, rising to his feet.

whether he was privy ~ the conspir-
acy, or whether he was merely taken
in, Della Campagna did not inform me.
But the form in which the document
went ultimately to the telegraph office
was as follows:
place in the Chernagara vaults
liras 100000 at par Paris our order.
and we demand be promptly entered
to H. H. account and be credited all
allowance. Under H. M. signature. Di
Giovanni.
"By Our Royal Warrant. 4th. Aug.
It. r. w."
Why was the dispatch sent in Eng.
lish? Because English has begun to
supplant French as the language OF
diplomacy. But to an Italian ambas-
sador? There can enlighten no one.
Prince Niklas was proud of his Eng.
lish, and, as soon as the Marchese
had signed and had affixed the royal
seal, he took the precious paper in his
hands and ran like boy to the tele-
graph Office.
And that was the innocent dispatch
which sent Europe wild with wrath
and Joy a few hours later. when the
news ran that the Italian ambassador
at Vienna had called upon the Emper.
or Franz Joseph and Informed him
that Italy would maintain neutrality in
the impending struggle.
This done, the outburst Of threats
against Italy prevented victo- from
disavowing his ambassadors state
ment. AS for old Niklas, he had hur
ried back to Montenegro by the first
boat, and was already massing his
fighting men upon the slopes of Cher
niagara, to lead them in aid of Serbia
against the hereditary foeman. across
the border.
Who betrayed the royal cipher?
There Della Campagna, graceless
scamp though he proved himself in
betraying Niklas' confidence, would
not bulge an inch. In vain pleaded
my past assistance to him in a certain
diplomatic embodiment. Della Cam
pagna was adamant. But he did ex
pound to me the cipher, which was
changed on the following day.

the Senate committee to act on. His
amendment would empower any wo-
man who is willing and physically

vidcs that for any employment over
ten hours in any one day, or over
