| It was not often in his muddled life
that Michael had SO full warrant to
give rein to his impulses. He had not
noted the absence Of Sachio for Lads;
, law. After time, his attendants,
hcsitating, told him that q woman was
waiting to be admitted Her Eame
was one which came toihis brain now
above all others.
Admit her at once, yes-why do
: you delay?'
She came before him now, pale,
downcast, almost trembling. Heavy
enough had been the burden of anx-
iety she long had carried. She had
come to the king, but she sought not
this weak kings comforting. No. she
had come hither in search Of the man
on whom even the king must rely.
"Ah, mademoiselle," he began, halt
maudlin, you have come to us at last.
Why were you 50 absurdly long? We
have grievcd fer you, and who would
grieve the king?'
Your majesty" said Kitty Gray,
and half shuddered as she gave the
title, gazing as she did upon the bloat,
ed face of this man who claimed to be
q king. "Your majesty. you are more

I Sachio made no reply. They walked
forward, descending, advancing into
the darker portions of the subter-

"By the way, my dear sachio," said
Frederick, at length-he had Sachio
just slightly by the arm, and walked
abreast of him, so there might be not

he called me up, asked me how I was

asked him to stay down town and
talk over the book situation.

Because the European supply Of will
low rods has been largely cut of sew
eral American manufacturers of will
low furniture and baskets have asked
the department of agriculture for the
addresses of persons in this country
who have taken up willow growing.
For some years the department has
distributed willow cuttings of import
ed varieties with view to developing
the production of high grade willow
rods in the United States. The usual
imports of willow comes chiefly from
England, Belgium, Holland, France
and Germany, but these sources have
been practically closed for several
months.
One manufacturer reports that Jap

slightly higher price. Finished will
low baskets from Japan have come
in where split bamboo was the only
Japanese basketware on sale before

shortage of imported osiers, it is
said, the price of American Willows
has increased and growers here are

their products.

Secrets Are Barred.

London, Nov. 4.-Appearing in the
house of commons for the first time
since his illness, Premier Asquith
made his long-expected address on
the war before a throng that jammed
all the galleries. He defended the
allies conduct of the war and an
nounced that Sir Frederick Edward
Smith, solicitor general, had been ap-
pointed attorney general to succeed
Sir Edward Carson, who ais made a
speech.
Sir Edward denounced the British
method Of conducting the war and
blamed Sir Ian Hamilton for the fall
ure of the Dardanelles campaign.
Premier Asquith gave the house
much light on British war policy.
He said
That King Georges injuries were
not serious.
That the financial situation of Great
Britain was serious and the nation
must be prepared to make far greater
sacrifices than it had yet experienced.
That there was full agreement be-
tween Great Britain and France to
maintain the independence of Serbia
and not let her become the prey of
the sinister and nefarious combina-
tion of Germany, Austria and Bull
garia."
That he was as confident as ever
rtFs allies were going to carry their
righteous cause to a triumphant
issue; and he was not going to shift
the burden from his shoulders until
satisfied he was unable to hear it.
That Field Marshal Sir John French,
commander of the British forces on
the Franco-Belgian front, was now in
command of nearly 100000 men.
That the total casualties in France
and Flanders amounted to 377,0O0.
That he accepted his full share of
responsibility for the first attack on
the Dardanelles, which resulted in fail
ure, with the loss of several capital
ships.
That Venizelos when premier OF
Greece asked France and Great Brit
ain, September 21, for 10000 men to
aid Serbia with the express under
standing that Greece would mobilize
But the Greek king repudiated the
pact.
That he himself was determined the
allies should win the war, and sooner
than not win it I would not hesitate to
propose some form of compulsory en-
listment."
