and will rent for six dollars a month.
Tenants who cannot pay for their
cottages will be taken care of by some

CHAPTER XIII.


A curious friendship had sprung up
between old Adelbert and Bobby
Thorpe. In or hours, after school, the
boy hung about the ticket takers
booth, swept now to a wonderful clean
illness and adorned within with pic
lures cut from the illustrated papers.
Outwardly Adelbert was peaceful.
The daughter now received his pension
In full. and wrote comforting letters.
But his resentment and bitterness at
the loss Of his position at the opera
continued, even grew.
For while he had now sven q greater
wage. and could eat three meals, be-
sides second breakfast and afternoon
coffee. down deep In his heart old
Adelbert felt that he had lost caste.
The opera-that was a settingi He
had been. then. Of the elect. And now,
to what had he falleni To selling
tickets for an American catchpenny
scheme, patronized by butchers, by
hOusemaids. by the common people
a noisy, uproarious crowd. that never
theless counted their change with
suspicious eyes, and brought lunches
in paper boxes. which they scattered
about.
There was, however, q consolation.
He had ordered q new uniform. Not
for twenty years had he ventured the
extravaganza. and even now his eau
tious soul quailed at the price. For
the last half dozen years he had
stumped through the streets. painfully
aware Of shabbiness. Of a shiny back,
OF patches. when, on the anniversary
OF the great battle to which he had
sacrificed leg. the veterans marched
between lines of cheering people.
Now. on this approaching apniver-
sary. he could 60 peacefully. nay. even
proudly. The Uniform was Of the best
cloth. and on Its second fitting showed
already its marvel of tailoring.
On an evening q week before the
parade would occur. he got out his
boots. He bought always large boots
with straight soles, the right not much
different from the left In shape. Thus
he managed thriftily to wear, on his
one leg. nrst one Of the pair. then the
other. But they were both worn now,
and because Of the cost Of the new
uniform. he could not buy others.
Armed with the better Of the two
he visited the cobbler's shop. and there
met with bitter news.

The usual group was in the shop,

disapproved Of them. regarded them
with q sort Of contempt.
Now he felt that they smiled behind
his back. II was his clothing, he felt.
he ahrugged his shoulders disdain-
fully. He no longer felt ashamed be-
fore them. Already. although the
tailor still pressed its seams and
marked upon It with chalk, he was
clad In the dignity Of the new uni
form.
He turned and nodded to them. "A

and the affair was over. To obviate
the difficulty of having the delegation

the chancellor.
Late In the afternoon the king sent
for Prince Ferdinand William Otto.
He had not left his bed since the day
he had placed the matter Of Hedwig's
marriage before the council, and now
he knew he would never leave It.
There were times between sleeping
and waking when he fancied he had
already gone, and that only his weary
body on the bed remained. At such
times he saw Hubert, only, strangely
enough, not as man grown. but as a
small boy again; and his queen. but
as she had looked many years before,
when he married her, and when at last,
after months Of married wooing. she
had crept willing into his arms.
