string Of modest pearls and a slightly
defiant. somewhat frightened, express
sion.
The dinner was endless, which was
necessary. since nothing was to follow
but conversation. There could, under
the circumstances. be no dancing. And
the talk at the table. through course
nfter course. was somewhat hectic,
even under the constraining presence
OF King Karl. There were two reasons
FOR this: Karl's presence and his pur-
pose-as yet unannounced, but sur
missed, and even known-and the sit
uation in the city.
That was bad. The papers had been
ordered to make no mention Of the
occurrence Of the afternoon, but II was
well known. There were many at the
table who felt the whole attempt fool
hardy, the setting Of a match to In
fiammable material. There were otn-
ers who resented Karl's presence in
Livonia, and all that II implied. And
perhaps there were. too. among the
guests. one or more who had but re-
Gently sat in less august and more aw-
full company.
Beneath all the brilliance and chat
ter, the sparkle and gayety, there was,
then, uneasiness, wretchedness, and
even treachery. And outside the pal.
nee, held back by the guards, there
still stood part Of the sullen crowd
which had watched the arrival Of the
carriages and automobiles, had craned
forward to catch glimpse of uniform
or brilliantly shrouded figure entering
the palace. and muttered as II looked.
Dinner was over Mt last. The party
moved back to the salon, a vast and
empty place, hung with tapestries and
gayly lighted. Here the semblance Of
gayety persisted. and Karl, affability
itself, spoke few words to each Of
the guests. Then II was over. The
guests left. the members Of the coun-
Gil. each with wife on his arm,
frowsy. overdressed women most Of
them. The council was chosen for
ability and not for birth. At last only
the suite remained. and constraint
vanished.
The family withdrew shortly after to.
small salon of the large one. And
there. at last, Karl cornered Hedwig
and demanded speech.
"Wherei" she asked, glancing around
the crowded room.
II shall have to leave that to you"
he said. "Unless-there Is q bal
cony."
"But do you think It Is necessary"
"Why not2"
"Because what I have to say does
not matter"
ut matters very much to me-" he
replied gEsvely.
Hedwig went first, slipping away
quietly and unn0ticed. Karl asked the
nrchduchess' permission to follow her
and found her waiting there alone,
rather desperately calm now, and with
tinge OF excited color In her cheeks.
Because he cared great deal. and be-
cause, as kings CO.. he was neither
hopelessly bad nor hard. his first words
were kind and genuine, and almost
brought her to tears.
"Poor little girl" he said.
He had dropped the curtain behind
him. and they stood alone.

river watershed will cause a rise m
the river here amounting to about
twelve feet. The three inch rain at
Manhattan will be here by tomorrow

Abilene and Beloit, which filled the
Solomon bankful, should keep the

time the river stage here has register
ed the low mark of 3.S feet, and the
expected high water should be a great
help in clearing out the channel and
washing out stagnant places. The
flood stage at Topeka is p feet, but
the probability of that depth being
reached is not considered.
Doctor Rhinehart, formerly of
North Topeka but now living near
Hays, Kan. stopped off today on his
way to Chicago on business trip, to
visit with North side friends. Doctor
Rhinehart, whose home is eight
miles west of Hays, saw the cyclone
which devastated the surrounding
country.
He said the funnel-shaped cloud
could be plainly seen, dipping and
the funnel swept the ground, sucking
up everything in it's path. When the
cloud rose, it spread out and passed
over the country without doing harm;
then it would form in funnel shape
and descend.
Many persons took refuge in cy-
clone cellars and caves. One family
had just entered their cave when the
roof was blown off. Immediately after
a disc was blown across the cave,
