since you are so fearful, 1 myself will

That was when she won For Milky
who has never been, in all his history,
anything of a hero, and all of the ro-

When Prince Ferdinand William
Otto returned, it was with the word
that Miss Braithwaite still slept, and
that she looked very comfortable,
Milky was gone, and the countess
stood by a window, holding to the sill
to support her shaking body.
1t was done. The boy was in her
hands. There was left only to deliver
him to those who, even now, were on
the way. Milky was safe. He would

CHAPTER XVII.
The Pirates Den.

Miss Braithwaite was asleep on the
couch In her sitting room, deeply
asleep, so that when Prince Ferdinand
William Otto changed the cold cloth
on her head, she did not even move.
The Countess Loschek had brought her
some medicine.
at cured her very quickly" said the
crown prince, shuffling the cards with
clumsy fingers. He and Milky were
playing a game in which matches rep
resented money. The crown prince
had won nearly all of them and was
quite pink with excitement. "It's my
deal, isn't it? When she goes to sleep
like that, she nearly always wakens up
much better. She's very sound
asleep"
Milky played absently, and lost the
game. The crown prince triumphant
~ scooped up the rest of the matches.
Then he lounged to the window, his
hands in his pockets. There was
something IN his mind which the
chancellor's reference to Hedwig's pic
ture had recalled. Something he
wished to say to Milky, without look
ing at him.
So he cleared his throat, and looked
out the window, and said, very cas-
ually:
"Hilda says that Hedwig is going to
get married"
$50 I hear, highness."
"She doesn't seem to be very happy
about it. She's crying, most Of the
time"
1t was Nikky's turn to clear his
throat. Marriage is a serious matt
ter" he said. at is not to be gone
into lightly"
"Once, when I asked you about mar
riage, you said marriage was when two
people loved each other, and wanted
to be together the rest Of their lives"
"Well,p hedged Milky, "that is the
Idea, rather"
81 should think" said Prince Ferdi-
nand William Otto, slightly red, "that
you would marry her yourself"
Milky being beyond speech for an
instant and locking, had his royal high
ness but seen him, very tragic and
somewhat rigid, the crown prince went
on:
"She's a very nice girl" he said; ST
think she would make agood wife,"
There was something of reproach in
his tone. He had confidently planned
that Milky would marry Hedwig, and
that they could all live on forever in
the palace. But, the way things were
going, Milky might marry anybody,
and go away to live, and he would lose
him.
eyes," said Milky, in a strange voice,
"she-I am sure she would make a
good wife,"
At which Prince Ferdinand William
Otto turned and looked at him. 81

he said with his nearest approach to
impatience. II think she'd be willing.
I'll ask her, If you want me to-"
Half-past three, then, and Milky
trying to explain, within the limits of
the boys understanding of life, his
position. Members of royal families,
he saids, looking far away, over the
child's head, had to do many things
for the good of the country. And
marrying was n of them. He sat,
bent forward. his hands swung be.
tween his knees, and tried to visualize,
for Otto's understanding and his w
heartache, the results of such a mar"
rage.

passage, and was eager to get out

except to women and children. Shoot
every man."
Gwen if. he is unarmed?" inquired
the crown prince, who had also studied
strategy and tactics, and felt that an
unarmed man should be taken pris-
oner.
"Sure. We don't really shoot them,
silly. Now. Get in STEP"
Then began, for the crown prince,
such a day of joy as he had never
known before. Even the Land of De-
light faded before this new bliss of
stalking from tree to tree, of killing
unsuspecting citizens who sat on rugs
on the ground and ate sausages and
little cakes. Here and there, where
a party had moved on, they salvaged
a bit of food-the heel of a loaf, M
of the small country apples. Shades

direction the crown prince was daily
fed a carefully balanced rationl
When they were weary, they
stretched out on the ground, and the
crown prince, whose bed was nightly
dried with O warming pan for fear OF
dampness, wallowed b~lissfully on
earth still soft with the melting frosts
of the winter. He grew muddy ano
dirty. He had had no hat, of course,
and his bright hair hung ove his fore
head in moist strands. Now and then
he drew a long breath of sheer happi-
ness.
AS dusk descended, the crowd grad.
ually dispersed, ONE to supper, but
some to gather in the place and in the
streets around the palace. For the
rumor that the king was dying would

AT last the senior pirate consulted
a large nickel watch.
"Geei it's almost supper time" he
said.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto con-
suited his own watch, the M with
the inscription: ITO Ferdinand Will
liam Otto, from his grandfather, on
the occasion of his taking his first com
munion."
"Why can't you come home to sup
per with mel" asked the senior pirate,
"Would your folks kick up a rowF'
81 beg your pardonT"
"Would your family object?"
"There is only one person who would
mind" reflected the crown prince,
aloud, "and she will be angry, anyhow.
do you think your mother will be
willing?"
"Willing? Sure she will My COVER
ness-but I'll fix her. She's a German,
and they're always cranky. Anyhow,
it's my birthday. I'm always allowed
a guest ON birthdays"
So home together, gayly chatting,
went the two children, along the cob
ble-paved streets of the ancient town,
past old churches that had been sacked
and plllaged by the very ancestors of
one of them, taking short cuts through
narrow passages that twisted and
wormed their way between; and so,
finally, to the door of a tall building
where, from the concierge's room be-
side the entrance, came a reek of
stewing garlic.

EVERYBODY
USING TONSILINE!

The Spanish influenza epidemic has
meant a wonderful increase in the
sale of Tonsiline-The National Sore
Throat Remedy.
The moment medical authorities
advised frequent use Of an effective
garg1e to sterilize the throat, which
these deadly germs must use as a
gateway and breeding ground in en-
tering the body, countless families
went to their medicine shelf or sent
to the nearest druggist for bottle OF
Tonsiline.
Also, the majority of those afflicted
with this dreaded malady found them
selves suffering from decidedly sore
threats and many of them have re-
newed their faith in this time tried
remedy.
For more than a quarter of a cen
fury Tonsiline has been relieving most
of the sore threats in the territory
where it was sold. This record stamps
it as being particularly indicated
right now as q preventive and relief
in doing it's share toward ending the
present situation. 1t is as safe as a
Liberty Bond.

Sunday: Nothing to Do

The last few Sundays have been bore to the
average man. Why? Because the churches and
theaters were closed. He had nothing to do, he
said He walked the Streets petulant and out of
sorts with himself and the world at large. At
home, he paced the floor or sat at the window,
hoping against hope that two dogs would start
a fight or two automobiles collide to offer him
diversion.
1t is sd commentary on our civilization that
humanity 1bes not know how to utilize it's leisure
Our dependence upon others for our comforts and
entertainment is so great that, thrown on our
own resources, we are lost. We can't amuse our
selves or find joy in our own making.
Time was when movies were unheard of, when
churches were few and far apart, when automo-
biles and steam and electric cars were unknown
when opportunities for amusement were few
What did our forefathers do in those days?
What did the pioneers do on Sunday or after work
On week days? Certainly they did not lack for
something to do No one will seriously enter
tain the thought that they moped on hard
benches or disconsonantly watched for passing
