CHAPTER LxxvlIl.
Long Live the King!

Long Live the Ming!
In the great throne room of Gretz-
hoffen palace, there were gathered,
late that day, those men highest in
power of all the realm.
Count Frederick entered the room
at last-but not alone. At his side
there walked one whose presence was
greeted with frown by those grave
and revered seigniors-it was a
woman.
Gentlemen" said Count Frederick,
smiling as he saw this reception.
you will pardon me that l bring
with me one whom l honor, whose wis
dom value. Thanks to the fate which
brought this young woman to our
shores, we have found the lost treas
ure of the king"
A signing silence fell upon them
ALL Alone of all these-till now al
most unnoticed, in the corner where he
sat sunken down-the weakling king
made some show Of resentment at
what he heard. A snarl, a growl of
rage almost inarticulate, came from
him.
You, Michael, our king" said
Count Frederick, suddenly turning to
him, growing wrath in his tones now,
II call you your majesty as yet, but 1
dare say to you, your majesty-your
drunken majesty-your weak and
helpless coward majesty-that there
shall never be wasted upon you or
your purpose one penny of this treas
ure which we have found.
THAT, gentlemen" said he, turning
to the councillors and ministers who
stood about, lis the treasure of the
people. 1t was saved for them. 1t
has been guarded for them by Michael
the good king, whose name this man
is not fit to wear.
do not doubt what / say to you,
gentlemen. / myself have seen that

he could to his own bloated face.
what do you mean-treason, in the
presence of the king?"
mo treason, for you are not our
king"
These" said he, ARE the imperial
scripts of Michael the First of Gretz-
hoffen. They were buried with his
treasures. In some part, they govern
the disposition of those treasures.
You hear in this the voice of our king,
and that must be our governing pow
er hereafter"
What is it, them" at length ex-
claimed the prime minister. HAS
there been a mistake-you say Mi
chael here is not our king-who then
is our king?"
Your excellency," said Count Fred
erick slowly, as he turned toward him,
yourself, these noblemen of Gretz-
hoffen, the council of ministers, the
parliament of the realm-all these
shall at length perhaps bear out my
statement which I make now. l my
self, Frederick-am the king"
At these words they made no an
swer. There was nothing on those
calm features of insincerity, of in
trigue or dishonor. His words car
ried with them his own conviction as
to their truth.
Listen, gentlemen" said he, gently,
at last. "Great things have happened
to us in our realm. We shall this day
save our kingdom. AS / believe, am
your king. I accept that station sol
EMMY, and here l have the profit
may not be doubted that ultimately
it's substantiation will be complete
by the parliament, by the people them
selves-by all our courts-by your
voice unanimous, as l doubt not, you
noblemen of this kingdom.
"Shall then read?"
''In the name of God, Amen! /,
Michael of Gretzhoffen, by the grace
of God, king, leave this script with
the treasures of the kingdom which
have concealed herewith beneath the
floor of the torture chamber. With
them l place the secret governing the
ownership Of the treasures of this
kingdom. That secret is known only
to myself and my bodyguard, who has
been faithful man-Boris Roleau.
For now these many months have

treasure with my own eyes-this lady
also was with me. There is enough
there to make our people very rich
more than that, to make them con-
tented and happy-if We use these,
treasures wisely. What shall we do
hand them over to yonder weakling
to squander, to dissipate? No, l tell
you"
They stood silent, grave, looking
from one to the other and at him.
He extended before him the folded
parchment which he had taken from
the treasure chest.
This" said he, 1--WE found in the
treasure chest. 1 have brought it
unopened. l have fancied it may
be some document of Importance to
our state. 1t was not for me to open.
Will you, your excellency?'
He offered it to the prime minister
Of the government. The latter grave
ly took it in his hands-gazed at the
great seal which fastened it-broke
the seal-undid the combining band
and gazed upon the contents OF the
parchment thus unfolded. His hands
shook-the great sheet almost fell
from them as no read.
Read, then" demanded Count Fred
erick. What is it that you have
found?" 1t was natural for men to
obey his voice when he spoke thus.
1T is strange and wonderful is
incredible!" said the prime minister.
Count Frederick caught in turn the
parchment in his own hands. In turn
his own face, showed amaze, aston
ishment-hie own strong hands shook.
Your majesty" said lie, smiling at
length as he turned toward the COVER
ing figure in the corner Of the room.
Il shall call you that for the last
time"
What do you mean?" demanded
Michael with one last show of resent
ment. summoning such resolution as

of the chest. Gently he drew it out
and held it in his hands for moment,
regarding 1t curiously.
Il shall not open it," said he. with
you, / feel certain fear. / believe

"As for you, Roieau, captain OF the
guard said he, you have proved
your faithfulness once more"
What? I am captain, master?"
"Roleau, captain of the guard" said
he, 81 thank you"
And so he turned and strobe from
the room where one was waiting.

THINK IOWA CITY
MAN KILLED SELF
THEORY is SUPPORTED BY THE
FINDING OF BOTTLE OF
POISON.

Iowa City, July 8. Tho discovery
of small phial of strychnine, one
eighth ounce bottle, two-third; empty,
hidden In closet at the home Of Hen
ry Stelling, the aeroplane inventor,
whose mysterious death has been re-
corded, tends to prove the suicide
theory is good. Coroner Charles K.
Hurd ordered an autopsy held, and this
demonstrated that there was no valvu-
lar trouble of the heart, or rather
heart affections which could have ceus-
ed death. No fracture of the skull or
neck due to fall downstairs into the
cellar, was revealed. This seemed to
put an end to the accidental death
theory. A fellow workman Of Sizzling
testified also that the inventor, brood
ing over the suicide OF his wife and
the sudden death of his son, had hidden
the friend goodbye one night last
week with statement that they might
not meet again in life. SIZZLING had
professed Spiritualism, and declared
that he had had conversation with his
dead son recently. The aged pioneer
made his will the day before the death.
He showed no signs Of insanity or
even lack of mental strength. the at
torney testified.
A glass and bottle of beer which
Sizzling used short time before his
death was sought by the coroner. The
bottle was emptied by Stelling, and the
glass by someone who came to the
house after the finding Of the body.
Lacking the beverage for analysis, the
coroner has turned the stomach over
to the University of Iowa chemists, and
the contents will be analysed at once.
