SHE SAYS SHE HATES THE TEUTONS;
BUT THEY SAY SHE MUST WE'D ONE!

cept Russian or an Englishman be-
cause the Teutons are now in full
charge of her little country's affairs
or an Orleans or Bonaparte prince OF
France. This was done to prevent any
political complications that might end
in the destruction of Luxemburg's
"neutrality"-which hasn't amounted
to much, however, since the Germans
goosestepped through On the way to
France.
When the present war broke out
she heard Germany intended to vio-
late Luxemburg's neutrality by
marching an army across it. She
dashed to her garage, boarded her lit
tie electric runbaout, and sped to a
bridge on the border over which the
invading armies would be likely to
approach.
She guessed right. German scouts
came in sight, saw the ducal car
planted suarely across the bridge, and
rode back to report to their comman-
ders.
Three generals rode up to the
bridge. Her eyes flashing, her breast
heaving, Marie Adelaide, 21, and every
inch a grand duchess, bade them de-
tour around Luxembourg.
"You cannot march through my
territory!' she told them.
The army came on. The generals
told her, in effect, to go back to her
play-palace She did. There was
nothing else for her to do.
And the grand duchess and her five
sisters remained, mi-prisoners, in
the palace of their ancestors, while
red war ragged all about them.
Now it is decreed that Marie Ade-
laide must marry. Among the Aus
trian princes who are considered the
most eligibles for her hand, count
these:
Archduke Maximilian, younger
brother of the Austrian heir-presump-
tive.
Archdukes Leon and Wilhelm, sons
of Emperor Franz Josef's grand
nephew, Archduke Karl Stephan.
Archduke Rainer Karl, son of an
other of the emperor's grand neph-
ews, Archduke Leopold Salvador.
Archduke Leon is going on %; the
others are not vet %.

II Mss FERRARD looked up from her work
MI and frowned. Really the literary man
on the top floor was becoming
nuisance, When one is trying hard to study it
is decidedly annoying to have to listen to the
tramp tramp of a disturbed overhead neighbor
Miss Ferrards rooms were on the second
floor. They we're the best and the ARREST
rooms in Mrs. Davis highly resi- ectable house,
and Miss Ferrard was by far the most impor-
tant of Mrs. Davis dodgers. At present there
was only one other lodger Mr.. Overton, the
young man on the top landing. who paid only
six shillings a week for a bed-sitting-room,
made his breakfast and supper on a spirit
lamp, and seemed to be of no account TO any
one.
Miss Ferrard resumed her work. She was
10 deliver a lecture to her students next day
on the diTerential calculus and it was a sub
ject that demanded concentration. But still
the tramp. tramp went on till q. Despair she
almost decided to ring and request Mrs. Davis
to interfere. What a nuisance it was to live
under the room of a literary man"-save the
mark! She gave a little cOntemptuous shrug.
for Mr.. Overton was apparently one of LIES
failures and she despised failures From her
earliest days Agnes Ferrard had been a sue
cess. Though only twenty-four, she occupied
a high position mathematical lecturer in
one of the big women's colleges in London and
was drawing salary OF $500 a year
Tramp tramp tramp bump, bang! she
started to her feet. Really. it was becoming
unbearable' There thank Heaven the noise
had ceased. With a sigh of relief she re-
turned TO her papers
But gradually a feeling of uneasiness crept
over her The silence upstairs was still un-
broken. II was almost uncanny. that silence
Surely she was not beginning to develop
nerves! She had never had any sympathy
with neurotic subjects, her own health being
always excellent. Nor did the young up
stairs interest her. No one on the staircase
ever had interested her. Indeed. beyond
mere "Good-morning,' or "Good-eveningl" she
RETAINED from all intercourse with her fellow
dodgers
The silence seemed to enveOp her like
pail The street was in a quiet corner of Bays
water-she had chosen it for that reason-and
the outside traffic was inconsiderable. For
five minutes more she stuck to her differental

man upstairs. yet. despite herself. listening
eagerly for sound. At the end OF the five
minutes she softly opened her door and
mounted 10 the top landing
There was line OF light under Mr.. Over
tons door; he had evidently lit his lamp. Mrs.
Davis she knew. had gone out 10 do some
evening shopping, and would not be back for
some time. Meanwhile, the silence was death
like. What should she-vhat could she do?

AS Hugh Overton opened his eyes he was

concern into his.
