The foresight of some road commits
sioners is remarkable. For instance, the
act of the road commissioners of the
town of Royalton in spreading thick
coating of gravel on the main highway
to White River Junction just before the
state fair. With several hundred auto.
mobiles running over the gravel during
the state fair there is no need of engag-
ing steam roller to do the work Of
leveling, you see.

That the British casualties in killed
were only 10000 for the first year of
the war is evidence to Great Britians
allies perhaps that the British nation
has not yet flung itself unreseryedly
into the great conflict. Yet Great Brit
aims total casualties Of nearly 100000
in that period indicate that Great Brit
ain is by no means a negligible factor in
the triple entente side of the war, More.
over, the casualties are growing greater
in the British army as the degree Of
preparation approaches 100 per cent
There is something besides men that
Great Britain supplies; il is the moral
support Of one Of the few leading ma.
tions Of the world.

Conditions of enrolment in the Rut.
land public schools are similar to those
in the public school sof Barre, where
the operation of the new state school
law has reduced the registration through
the elimination of pupils who otherwise
would have been enrolled in the lowest
grade. Rutland has about 100 less for
that reason; and so has Barre. In the
matter OF high school enrolment the two
cities appear to be running about even,
Rutland having 466 students in that de-
partment, while Barre had 463 during
the first week of school and has since
added many more names to the list.

1t is worthy of passing notice that
for week or 10 days no German sub
marine attacks on ocean liners have
been made. Possibly the absence of
such attacks may mean really that Ger

lady stenographers, according to the
plan of Mrs. Carlotta Smith, president

If the stenographers are to be Gagged,
there will be good business in providing
the cages.

ing after her in her wanderings re-
garded her as little more than a child,
and they smiled as now she pushed
past them through the door which led
out to the gardens. She walked out
to the car which stood AT the curb,
regarding it curiously, as though 1t
we're the first car she had ever seen
in her life-something very far from
true.
What the guards, who smilingly re-
garded her through the windows,
saw was swift leap of the girl to the
drivers seat, her rapid movements
with the controlling levers as she cut
on the spark, gave the car gas, threw
in the clutch, threw open the throt-
tie, and drove away, the cut-out muf-
fer roaring her own defiance to pur-
suit.
Hue and cry now through all
the halls OF Grahoffen palace, and gen.
eral uproar. Count Sachio, never too
far away. was promptly on the spot.
When he saw what had happened he
cursed the two grenadiers with all his
ardent soul. Even the king, him
self, aroused from his midday slum-
bers, Joined in these scenes of excite
ment.
What has happened-what is all
this about?" he demanded.
The trembling guards scarcely
dared tell him the truth.
What, she has escaped-that pris-
oner, She was of more importance
than any held here in our own re-
membrance. You shall all be held to
account for this. How now, Count
Sachio, did we not give her into your
immediate charge"
Your majesty, you did. l dare no
explanation of her escape. only-she
Is gone"
And with her our only hope of sue
cess in the ambitions of this kingdom.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-08-13

suspect that she had part of the coin
and it was easily seen by any that
once she did have that part-might
they not undertake to make trouble
for their own purposes with herr"
But what good would come of
that"
Count Frederick saw that his
argument had gone too far for his
own purposes. He did not care to
tell the king all he knew, yet his
zeal for Kitty had led him far.
Much good might come to Grahoff-
ems war department. your majesty,
if they knew our secrets. Perhaps
they thought she could give some in
formation"
But you do not predict trouble be-
tween us and our neighbor-you do
not mean war;"
Your majesty, l predict nothing
these days, but always it is well to
be prepared"
You disturb me sorely-do not
speak to me of war; cannot endure
the thought do not wish to hear
OF it,"
AS it CHANGED, much of this conver-
sation came to the ear of one OF
Sachio's agents, the spy Bartel, still
hanging about the city of Gretzhoffen.
He overheard enough in his passing
by at the time of this conversation
to be advised that the king of Gretz-
hoffen intended to make search for
the missing American. Not hesitat-
ing, he himself now sped off for his
employer to communicate this news
that he had learned.
He found Sachio aloof and discon-
tented, out of favor in the court, and
somewhat at a loss what next to do.
At the thought of definite demand
on the part OF King Miehael-or rath-
er on tho part Of Count Frederick
upon their kingdom for the person of
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-08-13

the young girl, sachio grew somewhat
grave. This" said he, "is a matter
for the king"
But the king WAS in no too good hu-
NOR over all these failures.
What, Sachio," said he, you come
to me once more with these old wom-
ans tales? II your time is so short
before your secret is discovered, then
all the more reason for diligence on
your part 1t is not the business Of
kings to accept reasons for failure
in performance. The girl Is still avail
able-complete your errand with her
bring to me the reading of the coin.
I know we'll enough that If Count
Frederick comes he will be different
from his king"
Therefore once more Sachio went
back to his bootless interviews with
Kitty once more pleading with her to
give him all knowledge she had OF
the coin. And once more Kitty could
mo more than reassure him Of her own
ignorance of what he wished to
know.
She heard odds and ends OF informa'
ltion which taught her which way the
wind sat at Grahoffen capital. Some
times she heard Sachio, again Bartel,
again this or that man, speaking
freely of the plans at hand.
Il told the king" said Bartel one
time, speaking to Count Sachio, that
all is ripe for the shaking OF the
tree. | told him that we have full
plans of all their Notifications and de-
'fenses-that their resistance will be
but nominal. Once we get the Gretz'
,hoffen Golfers opened, times will be
,easier in our country
yes, once you do" rejoined Sachio
grimly. But tell US how"
Kitty, really owing allegiance to
neither of these kingdoms, both OF
which had done her such repeated in
Justice, hardly stopped to ask herself
why she found her own leanings to-
wards Gretzhoffen, the scene OF
most of the indignities she had met.
She must escape for every reason
SO she assured herself. But how?
From the windows she had a full
view of the well-kept grounds of the
palace and of the boulevards sur
rounding it. She stood alone one day

wonderment of Kitty, schooled in the
great distances of her own country.
Arrived in the capital of Grahoffen,
she was allowed small time to arrange
her toilet or compose herself after the
fatigue of the journey. Very presently
she was brought before King Cortis-
law himself.
She found him an old man, thin,
