KING LEWANIKA'S STATE BOAT
Royal Craft Is 100 Feet Long, Carries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester mad Musicians.

"While travelling in Rhodesia,"
writes q contributor in the Wide World
Magazine, II managed to get glimpse
of King Lewanika's state barge. The
chief of the Barotse Is a fine fellow,
but l was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for a row attired
in a top hat and a gaudy dressing
gown.
Soon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley Is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long.
In the center are two compartments,
both covered in, one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar-
partments is erected a monster ele-
plant, as q sort of klngly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
Jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the populace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant A band of 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
80 or 60 paddlers and host Of bailers,
for the barge was by no means water
tight. To the accompaniment Of weird

years, and has an exaggerated notion
Of his own Importance. Stanton, or
rather his fgurehead railroad people,
have asked him to intervene, and he
has taken the case under advisement.

Starbuck was nodding slowly. IL
see what you mean, now," he said. IF
Lorching jumps the wrong way for us,
you're looking to see United States
marshal walk up to BARLEY Williams,
some time today and tell him to quit.
That would put the final kibosh on us,
wouldn't it?"
Smith was rising in his place.
"Pm not dead yet, Billy" he re-
joined cheerfully. Il haven't let it get
expedients for our side. If can man.
age to stay in the fight today and to-
morrow"
A little new under clerk had come in
from the hotel office and was trying to
give Starbuck note in square en-
velope, and Starbuck was saying: mo,
that's Mr.. Smith, over there"
Smith took the note and opened 1t,
and he scarcely heard the clerks ex-
PLANTATION that it had been put in his
box the evening before, and that the
day clerk had been afraid he would
get away without finding it. 1t was
from Verda Richlander and it had
neither superscriptioB nor signature.
This is what Smith read:
my little ruse has failed miserably.
Mr.. KS. messenger found my father
in spite of it, and he-the messenger
returned this evening. l know, be-
cause he brought a note from father to
me. Come to me as early tomorrow
morning as you can, and We'll plan
what can be done
Smith crushed the note in his hand
and thrust it into his pocket. Star,
buck was making a cigarette, and was
studiously refraining from breaking in
But Smith did not keep him waiting.
"That was my knockout, Billy" he
said with a quietness that was almost
overdone. "My time has suddenly been
shortened to hours-perhaps to min
utes. Get a car as quickly as you car
and go to Judge Warmers house.

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-10-26
CHAPTER xIx-Continued.

Smith did his various errands quick
ty. When he reached the fourth-foor
suite again, Jibbey was out of the
bath; was sitting on the edge Of the
bed wrapped in blankets, with the
steaming pot Of coffee sent up on
Smiths hurry order beside him on q
tray.
"It's your turn at the tub" he bub-
bled cheerfully. II didn't have any
glad rags to put on, so swiped some
of your bedclothes. Go to 1t, old man,
before you catch cold"
Smith was already pointing for the
oath. "Your trunk will be up in a
few minutes, and I've told them to
send it here" he said. "When you
want to quit me, you'll find your rooms
ave doors to the right in this same
corridor: suite number four-sixteen."
1t was long half-hour before Smith
emerged from his bathroom once more
clothed and in his right mind. In
the interval the reclaimed trunk had
been sent up, and Jibbey was also
clothed. He had found one of Smiths
pipes and some tobacco and was
smoking with the luxurious enjoyment
of one who had suffered the pangs i'm
posed by two days Of total abstinence.
"Just hangin' around to say good
might" he began, when Smith showed
himself in the sitting room. Then he
returned the borrowed pipe to its place
on the mantel anu said his small say
to the definite end. "After all that's
happened to us two tonight, Monty,
I hope you're going to forget my crazy
yappings and not lose any sleep about
that I.awrenceville business. I'm seY-
enteen different kinds of rotten fail
ure; there's no manner Of doubt about
that; and once in while-just once
in while-I've got sense enough to
know it. You saved my life when II
would have been all to the good for
yeu to let me go. l guess the world
wouldn't have been much Of loser
If had gone, and you knew that, too
VIII you-er-would you shake hands
with me, Monty?"
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-10-26
CHAPTER XXI.
The Colonel's "Deh."

Though it was only eight o'clock,
Smith sent his card to Miss Richland-
ers rooms at once and then had him
self lifted to the meZZanine floor to
wait for her. She came in a few min
utes, a strilIingly beautiful figure of
woman in the freshness of her morn
ing gown, red-lipped, bright-eyed, and
serenely conscious Of her own re-
splendent gifts of face and figure.
Smith went quickly to meet her and
drew her aside into the music parlor.
Already the need for caution was be-
ginning to make itself felt.
81 have come" he said briefly.
"You got my note?" she asked.
"a few minutes ago-just as I was
leaving the breakfast table"
you will leave Brewster at once
while the way Is still open?"
He shook his head. 81 can't do
that; in common justice to the men
who have trusted me, and who are
now needing me more than ever,
IluSL Sluy lHlOuSh lulS OlC uuyt anu
possibly another"
"Mr. Kinzie will not be likely to lose
any time" she prefgured thoughtfully.
"He has probably telegraphed to Law
renceville before this" Then, with q
glance over her shoulder to make sure
that there were no eavesdrOppers:
"But not one of these Brewsterites can
identify you as John Montague Smith
of Lawrenceville-the man who is
wanted by Sheriff Macauley. My ia
Their, in his letter, after telling me
that he will be detained in the noun
tains several days longer, refers to Mr..
Kinzie's request and suggests"
The fugitive was smiling grimly. "He
suggests that you might help Mr.. Kin
ae out"
mot quite that" she rejoined. "He
merely suggests that am to be prudent,
and-to quote him exactly-'not get
mixed up in the affair in any way SO
that it would make talk"
II see," said Smith. And then: "You
have disagreeable duty ahead of you,
and I'd relieve You Of the necessity
by running away, If ], could. But that
Is impossible, as l have explained"
She was silent for moment; then
she said: "When l told you q few
days ago that you were going to need
my help, Montague, l didn't foresee
anything like this. l shall breakfast
with the Stantons in a few minutes
and after nine o'clock if you
could contrive to keep out Of the way
until / can get word to you; just so
they won't be able to bring us face to
face with each other"
Smith saw what she meant; saw,
also, whereunto his wretched fate was
dragging him. 1t was the newest of
all the reincarnations, the one which
had begun with Jibbey's silent hand
clasp the night before, which prompted
him to say:
IF they should ask you about me,
