archduchess offered him a cup Of tea,
which he took, although she always
made very bad tea. And for q few
moments they discussed things. Thus !:
the kings condition; the %replanting of
the place with trees; and the date of
bringing out the Princess Hilda, who
was still In the school room.
But the archduchess suddenly came
to business. She was an abrupt per-
son. "And now, general" she said,
what is it?
81 am in trouble, highness," replied
the chancellor simply.
"We are most of us in that condition
at all times. l suppose you mean this
absurd affair of yesterday. Why such
a turmoil about it? The boy ran
away. When he was ready he re-
turned. He is here now, and safe"
81 am afraid he is not as safe as
you think, madame"
"Why?"
He sat forward on the edge of his
chair, and told her of the students at
the university, who were being fired
by some powerful voice; of the dis
appearance of the two spies; of the
evidence that the Committee of Ten
was meeting again, and the failure to
discover their meeting place; of dis
affection among the people, according
to the reports of his agents. And then
TO the real purpose of his visit. Karl
Of Karnia had, unofficially, proposed
for the Princess Hedwig. He had
himself preached the matter to the
king, who had at least taken it under
advisement. The archduchess list
ened, rather pale.
madame, after centuries of indie
pendence we now face a crisis which
we cannot meet alone. Believe me, I
know of what 1 speak. United, we
could stand against the world. But a
divided kingdom, a disloyal and dis
contented people, spells the end"
And at last he convinced her. But,
because she was built of a contrary
mold, she voiced an objection, not to
the scheme, but to Karl himself. 81
dislike him. He is arrogant and
stupid"
"But powerful, madame. And
what else is there to do?"
There was nothing else, and she
knew it. But she refused to breach
the matter to Hedwig.
And it ended with the chancellor.

uneasy, undertaking to put, as one may
say, a flea into the Princess Hedwig's
small ear.

While Oskar, his valet, put the
crown prince into riding clothes, Milky
and Miss Braithwaite had a talk. It
began by Nikky's stating that she was
likely to e him a great-deal now,
and he hoped she would not find him
in the way. He had been made aide
de-camp to the crown prince, vice
Count Lussin, who had resigned on
account of illness, having been reused
at day-break out of a healthy sleep
to do 1t.
Not that Milky said just that. What
he really observed was: "The king
sent for me last night, Miss Braith-
waite, and-and asked me to hang
around"
Thus Milky, of his sacred trust
None the less sacred to him, either,
that he spoke lightly. He glanced up
at the crossed swords, and his eyes
were hard.
And Miss-Braithwaite knew. She
reached over and put a hand on his

from the overzeal of the people in

Milky looked, made sure hat a man
in civilian clothing was close at their

the passing of the little prince. AS

Here a maid entered and stood
waiting at the end of the screen.
"His excellency, General Mettlich,"

"And you might" she suggested grim

The chancellor had passed a trou-
bled night. Being old, like the king,
he required little sleep. And for most
of the time between n o'clock and
his rising hour of five he had lain in
his narrow camp bed and thought. He
had not confided all his worries to the
king.
Evidences of renewed activity on the
part of the %terrorists were many. In
the past month two of his best secret
agents had disappeared. One had been
found the day before, stabbed in the
back. The chancellor had seen the
body-an unpleasant sight. But it
was not of the dead man that General
Mettlich thought. 1t was Of the other.
The dead tell nothing. But the living,
under torture, tell many things. And
this man Haeckel, young as he was,
knew much that was vital.
At five General Mettlich had risen,
exercised before an open window with
an old pair of iron dumb bells, had fol-
lowed this with a cold bath and hot
coffee, and had gone to early mass at
the Cathedral.
He entered the boudoir of the Arch.

went out another door, and closed it
behind her, Immediately opening it
about an inch.
The chancellor strobe around the
screen, scratching two tables with his
sword as he advanced, and kissed the
hand of the Princess Annunciata. They
were old enemies and therefore al
ways very polite to each other. The

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Victory in a rightsous cause of
world wide proportions is the
greatest of all achievements, but
it is not accomplished by the ef-
forts of man alone. The hand of
God guides the essential advances
of the world. In this Thanksgiv-
ing month Liberty has been given
its greatest impetus since the be-
ginning Of time. 1t has routed
tyranny and autocracy in their
greatest strongholds. 10 us, the
champions of liberty, God has
been kind and good. Our prin.
oiples, blessed by his approving
smile, are fast conquering the
world. We have cause, there
fore, to rejoice and give thanks
to Almighty God for the crown.
ing events of the year. There is
a sun that is rising to its zenith
and will never set; it is the sub
lime light of Christian demo-
cracy which will shine everywhere
in a full resplendet glory for.
ever.
Let all Louisianians, therefore,
meet in their respective places
of worship or in their homes
on Thursday, November %, 1918,
and give thanks to the God OF
Israel and America and our heroic
allies. For He gave US the un.
conquerable spirit of liberty and
He gave us the indomitable sol.
dier and sailor to defend it. The
glory and the praise and the
thanks are His.
