CHAPTER VlI-continued.

The archduchess was terrified. She
had known that there was disaffeet1on
about. She knew that in the last few
years precautions at the palace had
been increased. Sentries were doubled.
Men in the uniforms of lackeys, but
doing no labor, were everywhere. But
with time and safety she had felt Sc
cure.
'Of course" the king resumed,
"'things are not as bad as that paper
Indicates. 1t is the voice of the few,
rather than the many. Still, it is a
voice"
Annunciata looked more than her age
now. She glanced around the room

as though, already, she heard the mob
at the doors.

''MarriageI When our very lives are

II would be greatly honored," said
the king, ''if / might be permitted to
dnish what was saying"
She had the grace to flush.
Under the circumstances" the
king resumed, "Hedwig's marriage
takes on great signifcance-great po-
litical significance"
For a half-hour then, he talked to
her. More than for years, he I'M
bosomed himself. He had tried. His
ministers had tried. Taxes had been
lightened; the representation of the
people increased, until, as he said, he
was only nominally a ruler. But dis
content remained. Some who had gone
enough to set themselves up in bust
ness, had brought back with them the
American idea.
Annunciata listened to the end. She
felt no pity for those who would bet
ter themselves by discomfort and it's
product, revolt. She felt only resent
ment, that her peace was being threat
ened, her position assailed. And in
her resentment she included the king
himself. He should have done better.
And something of this she did not
hesitate to say. ''Karnia is quiet
enough" she finished, final thrust.
'Karnia is better off. A lowland,
most of it, and fertile" But a spot
of color showed in his old cheeks. 81

"Why? Karnia does not cons4deS

he raised his hand. ''You are
wrong. Just now, Karnia is doing us
the honor of asking an alliance with
US. = matrimonial alliance"
The archduchess was hardly sur
prised, DIS one may believe. But she
was not minded to yield too easily.

"How does she regard it?"
The chancellor hesitated. Like
most young women, she would prefer
making her own choice. But that, "
he added hastily, sis but a whim. She
is a lovable and amiable girl. When
the time comes, she will be willing
enough"
Karl stared out through one Of the
heavily curtained windows. He was
not so sure. And the time had gone
by when he would have enjoyed the
tanning of a girl. Now he wanted
peace-was he not paying price for
it?-and children to inherit his we'll
managed kingdom. And perhaps

'None, SIRE" said the chancellor
stoutly.
By late afternoon all was arranged,
papers signed and witnessed, and the
two signatures affixed, the one small
and cramped-a soldiers hand; the
other bold and flowing-the scrawl OF
king. And Hedwig, save for the cere-
mony, was the bride of Karl of Kar-

It was then that the chancellor rose
and stretched his legs. Sand now,

"When do you start back?"
"Within an hour" ~ra@ ~ ssssfssss4 .
Before that time" said Karl, "you
shall have him, chancellor"
And with that Mettlich was forced
to be content. He trusted Karl no
more now than he ever had. But he
made his adieus with no hint Of trou-
BILE in his face.
Karl stood for a moment in the open
air. 1t was done, then, and well done.
1t was hard to realize. He turned to
the west, where for so long behind the
mountains had lurked an enemy. A
new era was opening; peace, disarma-
ment, a quiet and prosperous land. He
had spent his years of war and women.
That was over.
When he returned to the study the
agent Kaiser was already there. But

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS.

The privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue of 4
per cent bonds of the third Liberty
loan will expire on November next
and under existing law can not be ex-
tended or renewed. Delay in exercis-
ing the privilege will result in over
burdening the banking institutions of
the country and the treasury depart
ment by making it necessary to han
die all conversions at the last moment
and may result in many cases in the
loss of the privilege of conversion al
together
Holders of coupon bonds are strong
ly advised to exchange them for reg
istered bonds in order to protect
themselves against the risk of loss,
theft, and destruction of their bonds.
The banks throughout the country
as matter of patriotic service, will
doubtless all assist bondholders in
converting and registering their
bonds.

THE RAILROAD
ADMINISTRATION

Director General McAdOo has issu
ed a circular to all employees Of the
railway lines operated by the govern
ment in which he enjoins them in
emphatic terms the policy of courtesy
and efficiency He announces that
the policy of the railroad administra-
tion is exactly the reverse of the
policy known as ''the public be
damned" policy.
He states that the fact that the
United States is running the rail-
roads is not an excuse or justifica-
tion for the shortcoming of either the
employees or the railroad administra~
tiOn. ''The people have accepted
cheerfully and patriotically the bur
den of increased railroad fares that
war. conditions have imposed upon
them, part of which is due to the in
creased expenditures caused by the
raise in the wages of the railroad
employees" says the Director General.

GOLD MINING MUST BE MAIN
TANNED.

1t is high time thai the people of
the west face the facts regarding the
gold and silver mining industry.
Before the war the estimated gold
reserve of the world was $40, 1000, ,O00-
900 which represented about 35 per
cent of the bonded indebtedness of
warning nations. Today it represents
less than per cent
The value of pure gold is fixed at
$20.67 per ounce. This price was
set when labor and supplies were
cheap.
Today it costs $50 an ounce to
produce gold and the gold miner is
asking the government to pay the
difference of SO an ounce on new
gold produced so that mines will not
be forced to close, when gold is need
ed as never before in the worlds
history
Individually and industrially our
nation depends on a maximum pro-
ductiOn from our mines and every
man in the west should use his best
efforts and intelligence to see that
gold and silver mining and the min
ing industry as whole is better un-
derstood by the public at large and
measures adopted which will assure,
increased production.

Troop transportation.

garding the overcrowded conditions
of passenger trains, which he admits,
and expresses regret for the unsat-

The great number of troops now
being handled over the railroads, it is
stated, has caused a shortage of day

further, the increased demand upon

GRAIN sHocKER TAKES
 HARVEST HANDS PLACES

X grain shocker. described and illus trated in the November Popular Me chanics Magazine. has been pronounced ono Of tho most important inventions for the farmer since the appearance or the binder. It attaches 10 binder and operates automatically, performing the work Of two harvest hands. At time when grain raising is so import ant and farm laborers are so scarce, this machine is considered doubly valuable.
 Tho shocker Is mounted on two wheels and derives its power from the binder. from which it receives the bundles. holding them in a horizontal rosition until enough have collected to make shock On being tied together in a well-compressed shock, the bun s'es are discharged with the butts downward and spread apart enough to prevent their falling over. The shocks are not capped. but are so put together that they shed water readily and are ~-eu ventilated. The grain is so care niflv handled that few kernels are shaken off. It is said that less than one horsepower is required to operate the machine.

SAYS BATHING NOT
 ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH

It is not essential 10 ones health that one bathe frequently, according to the hypothesis eXpOunded by Nilh- ialmur Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, in a philosophical discussion of scurvy in the May issue of the Medical Re view of Reviews. Mr. Stefansson as- serts bathing is purely an esthetic principle and that the value of cleanli- ness to health has not been estab- lished by the medical practitioners.
 Mr. Stefansson's pronouncementw will be greeted with jubilation by the ele- ments which possess an ingrown dis like for hydrogen and oxygen in pro- portions to two to one It has been accepted as dogmatic by the Mexican pelados for years, who, as a religious function, bathe only on St. Johns day, which is celebrated early in May
 Much of what the ordinary practi-
 tioner tells you about bathing for health is either not yet demonstrated as true or else is demonstrably un- true" declares Mir. StefanssOn. "The fact is that. according to the point of view, cleanliness is a matter of esthet- ics or else of taboo observance rather than of health"
 The explorer makes an apology in the article for his attack on medical orthodoxy by declaring he has been divorced from medical books and jour- nals for more than ten years. Mir. Stefansson wrote the treatise while in 1 the Arctic region in 1916. On April | 26 last. he was reported as danger ously i'll from typhoid fever on Her schel island.

SHORTAGE OF IRON
 PROVING COSTLY
(NcW York Tribune)

Practical suspension of the impOrta- ton of pig tin into the United States affects an industry turning out at the present time more than S100. .00O. 000 worth of products, according to a com pilation Of the National City bank.
 Shipments have been greatly reduced by the Dutch embargo in the East In- dies and by the lack of ship tonnage.
 All of the tin used in the manufac- ture of the S100. Q00. 900 worth of tin plate now produced in the United States is imported. more than 90 Der cent of it originating in the Orient. and with the partial suspension of shipments from that part of the world. recently announced, the United States becomes more dependent upon it's South American neighbor, Bolivia. which produces about 20 per cent of the worlds tin and is practically the only world producer of tin outside the Orient.
 Prices of the tin imported for use In the manufacture of tin plate have steadily and consistently advanced not | only during the war period. but in the dozen preceding years, this increase in price being apparently due. in part at least to the increasing demand which | has more than kept pace with produc- | ton. The worlds outturn of tin has | increased only about 30 per cent since | 1900, while our own outturn of tin plate has trebled in the same period. The prices paid in the United States for imported tin have advanved from less than 13 cents pound in 1897 to 27 cents in 1900; 36 cents in 1911, 46 cents in 1913 and 53 cents a pound in December, 1917, these figures being in all cases prices in the country from
 which the tin is imported into the | United States.
