AS to the motive. it is recorded:
"The praises showered upon Nelson
were so extravagant that" in the opin-
ion Of Captain Hallowell, me needed
a reminder lest he should think him
self immortal"
Perhaps the most extraordinary
part of the affair was that Nelson,
instead of being offended, was evident
ly pleased with the gift. He had 1t
placed behind his chair in the din
ing salon. When he afterward
changed his flag to the Foudroyant 1t

CHAPTER XIV.
The 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
pliments 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-I 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 a certain message
handed to him but left until now I'M
| 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, sit is in
the hand of a lady. By no means
throw away any letter woman
writes to you-and by no means write
one yourself Am 1 not good coun-
SELF"
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 venturing
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 1 pledge your maj

, raised his glass and waited.
Drink heartily, good Count Sach1o,'
said King Michael. CAS- for myself,

in his own glass, and raised his hano

CHAPTER XIII.
A Prisoner.

Having dispatched her messages,
Kitty Gray sat alone once more in her
ROOM There came to her mind once |
more the reflection that now she had
not even one portion of the broken
coin AS to that which had gone to
the king, she felt fairly sure that she |
might regain it. AS to that which had !
been taken from her by force by Count |
Frederick, she was far as ever from
it's possession.
"The simplest way is the BEST" said
she once more "Tll go back there
again"
Il was not so fortunate as to find
monsieur the count at home BEFORE
she explained to the attendants who
met her at the door.
"Monsieur the count has gone out
but now"
A sudden resolution came to Kitty's
mind even as a Sudden flush came to

| The man left her, and she closed the
door. An instant later she was at work
turning over the articles on the
dresser, peering here and there, look
ing this way and that-and unsuccess-
fully.
But meantime the attendant who
had left her, anxious to be of service
to his master, sent out posthaste to
summon Count Frederick to his re-
turn. He met the count himself, and
yet another attendant upon the point
of entering the palace. The newcomer
was talking to the count excitedly.
"Excellency, I tell you the woman
is outwitting you. She sent her half
the coin this very morning-sent 1t to
the king by special messenger. I saw
it felt it in the envelope, I am sure
There is some plot afoot. And

"Come," said Frederick, and he
fastened the more when ne met the
messenger advising him of Kitty's
presence in the palace.

HEAT WON'T HELP MATURITY
Result Of Columbia Professors Studies
Conflicts With Former
Views.

Children do not reach maturity In
tropical climates more quickly than in
temperate climates. This remarka bic
conclusion, which runs contrary to a
widely held belief, has been reached
by Prof. Franz Boas, professor Of an.
thropology at Columbia university.
Professor Boas, fresh from participa'
ton in a scientific survey of Porto
Rico, has just made his report to the
New York Academy of Sciences, which
undertook the investigation.
''The first Of our anthropological in
luiries had for its object the study OF
conditions of growth of the body in q
tropical environment" Professor Boas
says. 1T is generally assumed that
heat has the effect of accelerating the
physiological development so that in
warm climates children reach maturity
earlier than in temperate zones. Our
inquiries do not substantiate this view.
The material has not yet been collated,
but from the general character Of the
data venture to say that they will be
Of the greatest importance for prac'
teal measures relating to the hygiene

SMALL MAN WINS HIS SPURS
Trenches Make Him Better Fighter
Than the Larger Soldier, It 10
Now Said.

A Bantam Corps now is organic
ing in British Columbia. 1t may not
be easy to explain why, but the fact
is that energy and pugnacity seem to
become intensified as the physical
bulk diminishes in all animals, includ.
ing man. The capacity for enduring
physical hardships generally dlmln'
ishes as the size and weight increase,
so that the idea of Bantam Corps
is one of the most practical and valu'
able of the suggestions offered In con.
nection with recruiting.
Among the many cherished but now
fossil delusions of militarism that have
been for centuries regarded as axi.
omatic this one Of coupling power OF
endurance with size OF frame Is the
most obstructive of progress. Hun
dreds of thousands of eager recruits
have been rejected because they were
a trfle below the prescribed dimen.
sions, or for slight defects Of eyesight
or teeth.
Trench fighting has revolutionized
the prevailing ideas about war in this
as in other respects A small man may
endure the strain of trench work bet
ter than a large man, may be better
sniper, is a less expansive target for
the enemy's bullets and is likely to be
less expensive to maintain. In the
