I loathed the strictness of court life more and more. and as soon as 1 felt myself old enough. l defied the restraints which had been imposed on me, and sought companions out side the palace. Many of these were in a humble class of life. young artists, struggling journalists. and even sailors and fishermen. with all of whom frat ernized, and in whose society I lounged away the hours in taverns, or made long excursions by land and sea.

 T listened to this confession with amazement, merely lowing from time to time to show that I comprehended what my companion was saying. That the prince had indulged in bad habits I was we'll aware. but that he should have stopped to the society of persons so much his interiors. came to me as a shock I fancied he observed my consternation. for he remarked:
 "'You see I conceal nothing from you, NJ. le Baron. rely on your kind heart, when you have heard me to the end, to extend to me what sympathy you can. From my father received none. His anger was redoubled. on the contrary. He sent for me time after time, told me I was disgracing my rank, and asked me whether I should prefer the station of peasant to that of prince.
 "'On one occasion, stung by these taunts. boldly answered that should. since in that case 1 might have a father who cared for me. I was startled by the effect which this re- poach produced on him. He turned pale stammered out some unintelligi- ble words. and then signed to me to leave him alone.

 At that age, you will admit, could have done nothing to forfeit a fathers love. Then, at all events, had not been guilty of those follies and crimes which have since made my name byword. and dragged me down to the depth which you have wit messed
 As he spoke these words the young man cast at me an appealing look and l asked you to believe that I was from anticipating to what this pitiful relation tended.
 As l grew older proceeded Alex ander. I ceased to torment myself with the vain idea of conquering my father regard. As result, became indiffer- ent to his good opinion, and finally embittered against him and against my circumstances. 1 cursed the evil fortune which had separated me from the common lot of my fellow crea- lures, and while crushing me with the pomp and state of royalty, had deprived me of far more precious possessions. It was not long before the restraints imposed upon me by my high rank galled me to an unbear- able degree.
 It became my favorite resource to elude the watchfulness of my at tendants, to quit the palace in dis guise. and to seek adventures in the streets of the Hague, or on the beach of Scheveningen. At such moments l could forget that I was a prince, and revel in the freedom which is so dear to boys.
 When the news of these escapades reached the king, his frigid demeanor towards me was exchanged for anger. He reproached me in bitter terms for what he called my low and unprincely tastes, and ordered my governor to maintain over me guard more suited to prisoner than a youth of royal blood. This governor, faithful to his instructions, was never tired of lectur- ing me on the duties of my station and remonstrating with me on my un- worthy inclinations

 Pardon me- I returned. the race you represent, and the exalted destiny to which you have been born, must always command respect Concerning your private life, have not presumed to form an opinion; but am not so ignorant as not to perceive that the benefits conferred on nations by per sonages of your rank, and the peculiar temptations which assail them, enable them to claim justly certain tolera- tion which is not extended to every body
 Not to weary you with the details of our conversation, succeeded more quickly than l could have hoped in winning the regard of my guest, and convincing him that I was sincere in my desire to serve him. But when I ventured to allude to the value which his life possessed for France, I was astonished to see a bitter smile cross his lips, and he made an impatient gesture which checked any words.
 While all this was going forward, l observed that he relapsed from time to time into fits of abstraction, during which he would study my face as if hesitating whether to address to me some important communication. I care fully refrained on my part from any clumsy overture, and contented my self with talking in a cheerful strain about the ordinary topics of the day. Finally he spoke.
 M. le Baron,' he said, in deliberate tones, your conduct tonight has made me desire greatly to possess your friendship If you feel enough interest in me to care to hear the secret of my miserable career, I should like to tell to you that story which I have never yet confided to a single crea- ture. l merely ask that what 1 am about to say to you shall not be re- peated so long as my father and I are alive

 "'Of my father-as I suppose must continue to call thinking William it is difficult for me to speak without appearing to give way to resentment As patriot and a sovereign the in dependence of the Netherlands is the thing dearest to his heart, and hence the strength of that hatred with which he has always regarded the threat ening march of Germany.
 "'The Germans covet the wealth of our people. our flourishing seaports and our fine mercantile marine. Above all. they have cast hungry eyes upon our magnificent colonies in the East Indies. In short, the rulers of that empire have fully made up their minds to annex the Netherlands at the first opportunity, and only the influence of France and England restraints them from carrying out their intention, and reducing us to the condition of Schles- wig and Alsace.
 "'The knowledge of these unscrup- ulous designs, which were not too well concealed by Von Bismarck, caused the greatest indignation to King William. who was in conse- quence especially anxious that Lux emburg should not fall into German hands.
 "I cannot fix the period at which first became aware that, between my father and myself. there was none of that familiar affection which ought to prevail between child and parent. This melancholy knowledge must have grown within me. Children do not analyze their sensations. but they are quick to perceive coldness and neglect, and they suffer in silence. It was with singular bitterness that I used to listen to my instructors when they sought to inculcate in me the duty of filial affection.

PROMOTERS OF PADEN'S
MYSTERY OIL WELL MUST
FACE DISTRICT COURT

An echo of the famous and mys-
terious Paden oil we'll, which caused
much comment some time ago, arose
in the district court Wednesday when
suit was filed by Frank e. lee, a
stakeholder, against c. H. Cameron,
President of the Paden Oil company.
Lee alleges in his complaint that
after the Paden company had con-
1racted with the Prairie to drill
well there remained 200 shares of the
company's stock unsold. He states
that this stock was worth par SO, or
more, but that Cameron issued the
stock to himself, paying only $40 a
share for it.
The petition asks that Cameron be
forced to repay the difference.

with provision that the plant should

FARMED OUT
HIS SON To
PAY DEBT
FATHER AND "EMPLOYER"
NOW FACE ANREST UNDER
STATE LAW

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. S.-Because
he is working a boy under school
age, whose father has 'farmed' him
to pay debt, j. H. Garter of Fort
Gibson, has received a letter from
County superintendent e. A. Collette
telling him that he is liable to prose-
cution for working a Juvenile"
According to the story gathered by
Professor Collette a good deal of op-
POSITION to the county school at Fort
Gibson has developed lately. Some
OF the citizens favor an independent
school which has been started. J. H.
Carter seems to be one of these,
Professor Collette thinks.
A farmer, G. II, ROLAND, has two
sons, one of whom is under school
age In taking the school census a
short time ago, Professor ColletYA
discovered that this boy was not at
tending school and had County At
torney Disney write letter to the
father explaining that he would be
liable to prosecution if the boy did
not go 70 school.
ROLAND replied, declaring that he
had farmed the boys out to Carter to
work for a debt he owed the other
man. He declared that Carter had
refused to allow him to take the boy
away, saying that if he did this, he
would have him arrested and sued
for the debt.
Professor Collette wrote two let
ters in the case yesterday. He wrote
to ROLAND, telling him Carter could
not have him arrested but that the
county could and would if he did not
put the boy in school at once. He
then wrote to Carter and told him
that unless he allowed the boy to go
