It came only twice a year, and was
sent, intact, to take care Of an invalid
daughter In the country. That was
not his. He never used a penny of
II. And he had saved trifle, by liv.
ing on air, as the concierge declared.
But misfortunes come In threes, like
fires and other calamities. The after
noon Of that very day brought let
ter, saying that the daughter was
worse and must have an operation.
Old Adelbert went to church and
burned a candle for her recovery, and
from there to the bank to send by
registered mail the surgeons fee.
He vas bankrupt In twenty-four
hours.
That evening In his extremity he did
a reckless thing. He wrote a letter to
the king. He spent hours over 1t, first
composing 1t In pencil and then copy
Ing 1t with ink borrowed from the
concierge. 1t began "Sire," as he had
learned was the form. and went on to
remind his majesty, first, Of the hos
pital incident, which, having been for
ty years ago. might have slipped the
royal memory. Then came the facts
his lost position, his daughter, the
handicap Of his wooden leg. 1t ended
with n plea for reinstatement or, fall
ing that. for any sort Of work.
He sent 1t, unfolded, In a large fiat
envelope, which also he had learned
was the correct thing with kings. who
for some reason or other do not like
folded communications. Then he
waited. He considered that q few
hours should bring a return.
No answer came. No answer ever
came. For the king was Ill, ono secre-
taries carefully sifted the royal mail.
That night. In the conclerge's bu-
reau, he was treated to many incl
dents. all alike. The government took,
but gave nothing. As well expect
blood out of stone. Instances were
given, heartlessness piled on heart
lessness, one sordid story on an
other.
And as he listened there died in old
Adelbert's soul his flaming love for his
sovereign and his belief In him. His
eyes took on hard and haunted look.
That night he walked past the palace
and shook his fist at 1t. He was
greatly ashamed Of that, however, and
never repeated 1t. But his soul was
now an open sore. ready for infec-
tion.
And Black Humbert bided his time.
On the day Of the excursion to the
fortress old Adelbert decided to appeal
to his fellow lodger. Herman Spler.
Now and then. when he was affluent,
he had paid small tribute to Herman
by means Of the camp cookery on
which he prided himself.
"A soldiers mess!" he would say,
and bring In bowl Of soup. or slice
Of deer meat, brolled over hot Goals
in his tiny stove. EAT It, man. These
restaurants know nothing Of food"
Herman could not help him. But
he eyed the old soldier appraislngly.
He guessed shrewdly the growing un-
easiness behind Adelbe-t's brave front.
II now one could enlist such q man
for the cause. that would be worth
doing. Among the veterans the old

 Do not forget that if the United States had declared war then, this wac would not have had time to bring about revolution in Russia, nor to SOW the seeds of ~treachery on the Italian frontier and so succeed in her tremendous victory over the Italians which occurred last fall. We Ameri- cans are to blame for our present plight. I know that we are going to triumph over our enemies, and l know that the principles which we believe in will be upheld, but everybody, whether they are at home or abroad, must apply their very best energy to the task of gaining the one grand end, which will surely come.
