would have been conspicuous In the

The chancellor hesitated. But. after

happiness lay in this child in his arms.

"YOu are not too heavy, majesty"
Soon the chancellor, worn not with

room was silent.

kings hand and rolled to the floor.

"Do you mind If I talk little? 1t

old man.
King Otto eyed him gravely.

added.

This time it was the chancellor who
yawned, q yawn that was half a sigh.
He was very weary, and very sad.

reached his palace, and was hurried
I'D the stairs to the room where the
council waited. Not at all royal fig

He gave one glance around the room.

to crying into his dirty pocket-hand-

The chancellor eyed grimly from un-

figure of his sovereign. Then he went
toward him, and put his hand on his
head.
"He was very eager for this rest,
Otto" he said.
Then he knelt and very solemnly
and with infinite tenderness, he kissed

One by one the council did the same
