THE KINGS
VALET
By RUTH GRAHAM

The king was dead, and the people
would have cried, Long live the king T.
but they did not know which Of two
claimants would secure the throne
Prince Ludwig, the representative of
legal dynasty, was at the capital, but
the Crown Prince Rudolph, who had
been banished by his father, was In
Paris. Rudolph was the choice of the
people, but the Austrian government
desired to place Ludwig on the throne.
Rudolph made his preparations to go
TO claim his crown, and. being obliged
TO pass through Austrian territory, the
government desired to intercept him.
Your majesty" said Rudolph's bos-
ON friend, Count Ernest Gerhart, who
proposed to accompany his sovereign
to his capital, Il suggest that we travel
as master and valet. to be the mas
ter. you the valet
IAN admirable PLAN" said Rudolph.
I'VE will adopt IT.
That night the two started, the count
disguised as a bourgeois merchant, Ru-
dolph as German valet. The two
carried their parts well. the count en-
acting a shopkeeper who had made
money and was consequently purse
proud, Rudolph playing servant who
had all the spirit beaten out Of him by
a tyrannical master. Count Ernest be-
ing the kings intimate friend and faith
full adherent, took pleasure In giving
him plenty to do and abusing him
soundly at the slightest remissness.
Passing down the Danube by boat, the
two attracted the attention Of the old
Baroness Won Yallenstein and her beau
tiful daughter Bertha.
Hans" cried Count Ernest, bring
me some hook and soda water, and
don't spend the whole day gabbling
with the other servants. Be quick r.
Hans moved away, and Bertha Won
vallenstein, who had looked up from |
her book, cast an indignant glance at
the count for the severity of his tone
When the valet returned with the hook
md soda Count Ernest berated him for |
having been gone so long. Bertha Won
Vallenstein, indignant at the counts
abuse, called Hans to her and said to
him:
DO you wish to leave the service
If the man who treats you so harshly7

he astonished king incognito. He

The king was In a quandary. Count
ernest who saw what was going on,

The resignation of both Goethsls and
Denman was the only logical step in the
unwinding of the tangle into which the
United States shipbuilding program had
become thrown through the disagree

tions, followed by the appointment Of
well known Americans to their positions,

twice seen the request for a statement
regarding the proceeds OF the Girl from
Broadway" we, the undersigned, would
like to make this statement regarding
same As we had no connection what
ever with the financial end of it, and no
knowledge of the receipts or bills con-
nected with same, we are wholly ignor-
ant of what was really done with the
money. As one person had entire charge
of staging, advertising and financing the
play, we ask the kind people to look to
that particular person to make state
ment if his whereabouts can be ascer-
tanned, as we have no knowledge of
his whereabouts. Hoping that he may
come to light soon and give an account
of his stewardship, we remain,

Increased activity by German war
aviators may be taken to indicate an
attempt to find out just how many
American soldiers are now back of the
battle line in France waiting to take
their places in the trenches. 1t is fairly
certain that we have the Germans guess
ing as to the size of the first American
expeditionary force, despite their pub
lished statements in which they mini
mize the military significance of the en-
trance of the United States into actual
