CHAPTER VII.
The Secret Chamber,

The Secret Chamber.
Nervously King Leofric Of Urania
paced his apartment, twitching at his
mustache and pulling his beard. Why,
he pondered. did not the varlets come
with the beauty Of the forest? From
time to time he gazed eagerly at the
door and listened expectantly. his
features distorted by the passion
which the very thought of the lovely
Godiva inflamed within him.
And then the door opened and San
cha entered leading the atfrighted
captive. All in white she was ar
rayed. in the clingins folds Of the
drapery Of her couch: for not . mo-
ment had been hers to supplement
with cloak or mantle the robe de mutt
In which the kings retainers had sur
prised her.
Welcome, Mistress Godiva," the
king said, bowling low. Welcome to
the palace. Thou dost tremble, child.
Surely It's but the trembling of one
in strange surroundings and not be-
cause of fear Of your sovereign"
"Ay, In that last hazard of thy evil

the mortal fear that possessed her.
thou speakest very truth. For, in
deed, am in great fear Of thee.
sire"
Calm yourself. maid," the king
said. Rest upon yonder couch and
fear no evil As for thee, Sancha-
you may leave US. I would speak
alone with our guest"
Sancha bowed and backed from the
presence.
King Leofric now sat upon the
couch beside Godiva.
"Godiva," he said, thou hast in
spired in my heart a great love for
thee. Riches thou shalt have and
fine raiment. Thou hast but to con-
sent graciously to abide within the
palace as my guest. Thou shalt be
raised from rank Of peasant to that
Of great lady. Art pleased?"
"No SIRE" the girl replied simply.

NIT me to return to the house of my
father"
"Ah, so thus blows the wind" said
his majesty. springing up and
scarcely now concealing his true and
vile self from his helpless captive.
"since so blows the wind, Godiva,
then it will be necessary to immure
thee here till such time as thou shalt
become accustomed to the new life
I destine for thee"
With that the king pressed a secret
spring beside a great painting that
was fitted in the wall. The painting
swung on GENITAL pivot, revealing q
chamber beyond-the secret chamber
"Godiva, be pleased to enter thy
chamber" the king commanded.
The girl sprang up and sought to
dart from the apartment. But the
king intercepted her and by force
thrust her through the opened panel
and into the secret chamber. He
then closed the panel behind him.
This is thy very own bedchamber.
Godiva." the king said. "Yonder is
thy couch and here thou shalt tarry
as my guest. And shouldst thou con
tinue to be unwilling guest, then
count this chamber also thy prison.

over her beauty. sought to take her

company. II thou art not satisfied
with my favofs as they are, then thou
hadst best thyself begone from the
palace"
Now to be gone from the palace was
farthest from Sancha's aims. For his
duties as chamberlain to the king had
perquisites Of great value In doubloons
and Sancha had no hankering in his
breast to forswear those perquisites.
So now he made haste to say:
Alas. fair Dulcinea, could not
leave the palace even IL I would For
your beauty. dear queen. holds me
within the palace walls as one bound
with chains Of iron"
This was the kind of nattery that
sancha well knew was liked by the
queen. Flattery was to the ears of
this proud patrician of Urania as meat
and honey to the palate. So now she
smiled upon sancha and unburdened
her mind Of her own evil and cunning
plans.
This night, Sancha." she said, thou
shalt destroy this beauty of the for
est upon whom mine eyes have looked
There is lust In my heart for the sight
OF her own heart torn from her body
Even SO would I slay the wench were

man."
"Ay. mistress, even such a man am
l." the chamberlain replied. Thou
hast but to command me-"
We'll. then. sancha, tonight when
all is dark in Urania, steal thou forth
from the palace with not too many of
the kings retainers and go hence to
the cottage of the shepherd Rivarre
and secure there the heart of this Co.
diva girl. Bring thou that heart to
me and well, who can say, Sancha,
what reward shall be thine when my
gratitude is to be manifested?"
"As thou commandest. your majesty,
30 shall 1t be. Tonight when all is
dark none in Urania shall possess
beauty even approaching thine own.
For, in the darkness, Godiva shall
cease to live and her heart shall adorn
thy bedchamber."
And having made these plans,> the
queen and Sancha stole into the pal
ace by the postern gate.
Meantime the king paced his apart.

"Sancha," said the king this night

AS your majesty Wills" replied
sancha. again making low obeisance
This night, Sancha. when darkness
is over all Urania, take certain of my
retainers and go hence to the cottage

At this command Sancha trembled
in his riding boots. For. the order wa1

given by the queen. And how was any

that was it-unless both sent him OF

Some millionaires who work in
Chicago and live in the exclusive
towns in Lake county may be moving
back to Chicago shortly, for the
Lake county board of assessors no
longer offers inducements" to them
to stay.
The Inducements a member of
the Cook county board of assessors
said, were reduced taxes on personal
property.
This same assessor told The Day
Book that zone must use a little
common sense and discretion as
member of the board, that if we taxed
wealthy men on the full value of their
property they would all move up into
Lake county"
Yesterday the Lake county board
of review upheld the plea of the board
of assessors that Mrs. Richard Sears,
wife of the mail order man, must pay
Warren township back taxes of $4,-

This is the total valuations for
1913, 1914, and 1915, which she has

AIRMEN FOR FRENCH FLYER
Paris, Sept. a.-German aviators
today joined with French in paying
last tribute to Capt Fequant de La
touche, noted French air pilot, who
was killed aloft in battle with of
Germany's birdmen while engaged
on Mondays air raid on Saarbruck-
on. 1t was perhaps the strangest fu-
neral service of the war.
At dawn two German taubes cross
ed French lines near Nancy and sped
toward French aviation camp, flying
rapidly and at height of nearly mile.
Anti-aircraft guns began popping at
Germans and French air patrols tilted
upward in pursuit.
Foremost of the German birdmen
suddenly turned and headed back to-
ward German lines. A small object
1uttered down from his taube, and
then a second one as the other taube
wheeled in flight. Several aviators
ran out from their hangers and pick
ed up the object, small floral wreaths
with brief formal messages OF con-
dolence for Latouche's family.

 WASHINGTON. Dec 15.-The Unit cd States has demanded that Austria disavow the sinking of the liner An coma. punish the submarine comman- der. make reparation for the Ameri- cans who lost their lives or were in jured and give assurances that such acts will not be repeated.
 In spite of the fact that there has been little evidence of tension such as existed at the time Germany and the United States were exchanging notes ovr submarine warfare. it generally is believed in official circles that fail ure of Austria to make satisfactory re ply to these demands will be followed ny a rupture in diplomatic relations.
 While the gravity of the situation existing between the United States and Austria Hungary is emphasized by the statement of the Austrian ad- miralty giving unqualified approval of the action of the submarine com mander who sank the Ancona. off cials here tonight said they were not surprised to find the admiralty sup porting it's officer

double danger. first from the fact that an enemy boat was approaching on a line that threatened to cut off his re- treat and the enemy ship and the An coma could have established his radius of action and could have set a torpedo boat flotilla on him and second, there was danger of the Ancona escaping, which. according to his instructions, was to be prevented in all circum stances. Hence the conduct of the commander. much as the loss of inno- cent lives must be regretted and de- plored. cannot be disapproved.
 sOn the contrary. if he had departed without destroying the Ancona it would have been failure to dc his duty since the Ancona could have notified other ships of his whereabouts. The loss of American lives is regrettable. as well as that Americans used a vessel be longing to a nation at war with Aus tria Hungary
 A naval writer and expert said to the Associated Press correspondent in a discussion on the demands of the American note:
 Tt should be remembered that Aus tria's fleet is her favOrite child. Its honor And prestige are treasured to the highest degree. The government might possibly yield points in a matter af- fecting the army but disavowal of an act of an Austrian naval officer is hardly thinkable in any but abnormal circumstances. I am certain that it will have to be a very extreme case indeed which could justify in the eyes of all Austrians, any humiliation of naval officer at the behest of for eisn power"
 The American note relating to the Ancona has not yet been published by the Austrian newspapers; hence the contents of the note are known to only few of the most prominent officials One of the leading men in Vienna has summed up the situation for the As sociated Press as follows:
 My position requires me to keep in close touch with public sentiment and there is no doubt what sentiment.

 In form it is much sharper than the Arabic note to Germany and is especially notable because the Amer ican note to Great Britain concern ing neutral commerce so far has achieved no result. Also. thus far nothing has happened in England in the Earalong case.

plated in the administration plan AIr
 Redfield said he would have naval
 constructors direct the building of
 such ships as the government provide
 to them adaptable for use as naval auXiliaries n time of war
 Personally said the secretary. T
 should be glad to see this full matter
 of the merchant marine put into the
 hands of a shipping board, a major
 ity of whom should be from civil life,
 who should have no other business
 or function than to watch over and
 promote the merchant marine of our
 country. l should give them broad
 supervisory powers. They should be
 empowered to construct in private or
 public shipyards vessels for the mel
 chant marine, or to purchase them
 and to charter. lease or sell them to individuals. firms or corporations de-
 string to use them in the foreign
 trade of the United States or between ! it's ports and those of our insular possessions.
 This would be the principle of public ownership with private opera tiOn. I should not stop at this. how ! ever, but would give the shipping 1 board power to organize a corpora i tion or corporations and to subscribe on behalf of the United States to part or all of their stock as the judgment of the board might after discussion think best and in the opinion in order that the inability of private capital might in such cases as should prove necessary be sup plemented by the power of the gov crnment."
 Never has the country been so de- pendent on foreign ships as now. said MT. Redfield despite the fact that the American merchant marine never was so large before and is growing so fast that vessels now building should pat the United States in third i place among the maritime nations. 1 Great Britain and Germany being first and second respectively.
 MT. Redfield expressed doubt that mary vessels that have come under American registry since the European war began would return to foreign registry. He said the present bel ] ligerents would be forced to tax their shipping heavily after the war. and moreover the congress might see fit to consider whether the transfer of ship under American registry to
 an alien flag should not be condi- toned on the governments approval. Referring to the need for maya, auXiliaries, the secretar1' said Great Britain was using something like 900 ships as attendants upon her
 great war fleet: that the United States would need about 900 merchant vessels to keep it's fleet well supplied at sea, and had only 500.
