CHAPTER XIV.
The Ballroom

ne Ballroom.
In his own apartments that evening
Michael the king had passed the time
in somewhat preoccupied fashion. Left
alone, and hence unhappy in his coun-
sells. he welcomed the announcement
of the chamberlain who advised him
of the presence of the Count Sachio of
Grahaffen, who wished to pay his COM
piiments to the king
Come then, my dear count said
Michael to him. "You are very well
come at this hour You will have a
glass Of our own vintage have a
cask of Lucoyen which is quite worth
while"
with all my heart" said Count
Sachio
The attendant removed the cork
from the bottle reverently, poured
slowly, gently, the amber fluid into
the tall glasses upon the table. 1t was
at that moment that King Michael be-
thought him Of certain message
handed to him but left until now un-
opened. He frowned as he looked at
the word, irreverent when addressed
to royalty, and urging haste. I'm
portant.' Is it SO? What shall I do,
my dear count? Throw it away?"
Count Sachio cast glance upon the
inscription.
your majesty said he, cit Is in
the hand of lady. By no means
throw away any letter woman
writes. to you-and by no means write
one yourself Am not good coun-
sel?''
Smiling, King Michael broke open the
small hotel seal, frowning as he did so
at what seemed to him undue familiar
ity on the part of someone, he knew
not who. But as his eyes ran over
the few lines of the message his ex-
preston suddenly changed. The words
remained deeply written on his mind.
Your majesty young Ameri~
can drink no wine"
Count Sachio looked on respectfully,
his glass arrested, naturally Eenturing
no comment King Michael made no
effort to turn the conversation. He
left his wine untasted!
Indeed, our people also are grow
ing in audacity," went on Count Sachio
presently. But pledge your maj
esty a long and happy reign" He
raised his glass and waited.
Drink heartily, good Count Sachio,"
said King Michael. "As for myself. l
have dined but lately, as ~said. The
doctors say dreadful things to me.
You excuse me?"
He had poured but small portion
in his own glass, and raised his hand
against more.
Sachio. was Obliged to admit to
Count Frederick, whom now he early
sought, that he doubted the full sue
cess of his errand.
Leave him then to me-" ex-
claimed. Frederick-''he never fails to
do as I ask. Make ready for the ball
time presses now. I myself will
hasten to see the king before he leaves
for the winter palace"
Frederick, making urgent excuses
now to enter the apartments of the
king after his arrival, found the mon
arch in the same apartment, stolidly
regarding the now empty bottle OF
wine. y
A certain idea came to the brain
of Michael, the king. as he now &C
know1edged the visit of Count Fred
erick at SO late an hour. If this
message had warned him not to drink
Wine-then there must be someone in

'NODBY Tread GIANT tires
Cause SYRACUSE Sensation

Two mammoth "Nobby Treads' which
created a great stir in the recent auto
mobile parade in Syracuse, New York,
were conceived by J. Henry Glismann,
manager OF the Syracuse Rubber Store.
The two tires were made of wood
and required twenty-five hundred feet
of lumber. and it took five men nearly
two weeks TO build them. The actual
size of the tires, including the "Nobs"
is ia inches high by % inches thick.
The tires weigh fifteen hundred pounds.
The shape and proportion OF the tires
is an accurate reproduction of the fa-
nous "Nohhy Tread" tires
These tires are so balanced that \

them on their supports, which consists
of ive-inch aXles.
These mammoth "Nobby Tread tires
are so large that it was necessary 70

.MASSACHOSETTS-NEW YORK
ROAD IS MOST POPULAR

A member Of the American Automo-
bile Association whose experiences in
touring makes him fair Judge Of like
expresses the view that the
250 miles from the east coast Of Mas
sachusetts to New York City is a
stretch of road used by more cars
from other States than any like dis
tance in the country.
This opinion was rendered after a
recent two-day leisurely trip over that
section en- route from Boston 10 the
national headquarters OF the A. A. A.,
in Washington.

try along the way-nOt rushing

ADMITS $4,000 THEFT
THAT MYSTFIED MEDIA
Student-Butler, Caught in New
York, Says He Quit School to
Steal.

A confession by william Smith, 20 years
old, former resident Of Philadelphia, to
the police in New York today, cleared up
the mystery Of the theft Of costly heir
looms and a diamond necklace valued az
5000 from the home Of George T. Rich
ards, wealthy contractor, at Media. The
robbery took place last February.
In his confession. Smith related a
remarkable story Of how he had aban-
doned promising career In engineering
to become a safe robber There was no
air OF bravado In his confession. He
calmly told detectives that for a year
prior TO the Richards robbery he had
made a study Of safes, electric wiring and
burglar protection appliances.
The arrest of Smith took place In New
York on the eve of a robbery which the
police say no was scheduled to engineer
at the home OF Clarence c. Pell in New
York. Smith, because of his skill In
opening safes. had been selected by the
gang with which he was associated to
do the lob" For some reason he re-
fused at the last moment. This so en-
ragged the leaders Of the band that they
informed. At least that is what the pris-
oner said today In endeavoring to ao-
count for his arrest.
Smith was employed as a butler in the
Richards home, When members of the
family were asleep he opened the safe
and stole diamond necklace and other
jewelry. According to Smith, he gave
the necklace TO n respectable young
woman whom he was courtinR in New
York. Efforts are being made to have
him eNtradited to Media.
