Ulrich had embarked for these shores
but the Chief of the Service deemed It

I was detailed for the work. We

were deemed advisable

at the same hour each evening. OF
course, I made it a point never to
leave the neighborhood and at all
hours of the day was lurking near
to keep a watch on his comtngs and
goings, and wherever he went was
trailing along at a safe distance. Many
times. disguised as a plumber, gas
litter. or carpenter. managed to gain
entrance to the. house Ulrich lived In.
and once or twice I was fortunate
enough to get into his room. A care
full survey of the premises was enough
to nroye that Ulrtch was up to his
old tricks and it would be only a
question of a short time before the
country would be flooded with the
spurious bank notes he would turn
loose. I knew in order to protect ene
innocent it was necessary to catch I'll

that made the work all the more
nerilous and all the moro exciting. 1

the life of country gentleman OF
very quiet tastes. He, was fond OF
yachting before he became King but
during recent years he has found lit
tie time for this pleasure.
He believes that being King Is as
much of a business as anything else
and that in order to be successful
ruler this business must be given att
tention. When he came to the throne
his knowledge OF diplomacy and in
ter1Iational law caused the soveretgns
of Europe to take notice and they be-
gan to court Italy at once. A month
after his accession he Informed his
Cabinet that all DEGREES requiring his
signature must be presented to him
several days beforehand in order that
he might study them before he gave
his approval, and his ministers soon
came to know that laws and orders
could no longer be passed unless the
Young King knew the why's, and
wherefores of the cases.
Charities and schools seem to be
almost a hobby with both the King
and Queen, for the chief interest OF
the latter outside her family is cen-
dition of the poorer classes, and she
frequently accompanies the King on
unexpected tours of Inspection.
During their stay at the summer
palace horseback riding is one of the
chief arnusements and 1t Is no un-
common thing to see the King and
Queen riding along country road
without attendants. The Queen Is an
accomplished violinist, lover OF art
and poetry, and an author. having

Queen is best described as tail and

while her eyes are dark and her hair

with excellent taste and has rare

The King has a strong drift to-

to go to war, but when the plain peo-
pla OF ITALY finally forced the nation
into the conflict for the unredeemed

cratic King decided to share his sol-
dfers' hardships. Then he took the
field and turned the reins OF govern
