very calm, and am sorry for myself
already"
'Then you think it is all very ter
rible?'
She did not reply, and he drew a
chair for her to the rail. When she
was seated, he took up his position
beside her, one arm against pillar.
II wonder, Hedwig," he said, IF 1t
is not terrible because it is new to you.
and because you do not know me very
well. Not, he added hastily, "that
I think your knowing me well would
be an advantage! I am not so idiotic.
But you do not know me at all. and
for good many years I must have
stood in the hight of an enemy. 1t is
not easy to readjust such things
witness the reception had today!"
s'Why must we talk about it?" He'd
wig demanded, looking up at him sud-
denly with a flash of her old spirit.
ut will not change anything"
Perhaps not. Perhaps-yes. You
see, am not quite satisfied. I do not
want you, unless you are willing. It
would be poor bargain for me, and
not quite fair"
A new turn, this, with vengeance
Hedwig stared up with startled eyes.
1t was not enough to be sacrificed.
And as she realized all that hung on
the situation, the very life Of the king
dom, perhaps the safety Of her family,
everything, she closed her eyes for
fear he might see the fright in them.
Karl bent over and took one Of her
cold hands between his two warm ones.
Little Hedwig," he said, II want you
to come willingly because care q

too. Don't you think you would, after
a timer"
"After q timer said Hedwig drear-
lily. That's what they all say. After
time 1t doesn't matter. Marriage is
always the same-after q time"
"Why should marriage be always
the same, after timer he inquired.
"This sort Of marriage. without
love-"
sit is hardly that, is 1t? love you.
II wonder how much you love me-
Kari smiled. He was on his own
ground here. The girlish question put
him at ease. Enough for us both, at
first" he said. "After that"
But" said Hedwig desperately,
suppose know I shall never care
for you, the way you will want me to.
You talk OF being fair. I want to be
fair to you. You have right" she
checked herself abruptly. After all, he
might have right to know about
Milky Larisch. But there were others
who had rights, too-Otto to his
throne, her mother and Hilda and all
the others, to safety, her grandfather
to die in peace, the only gift she could
give him.
What think you want to tell me,
Is something already know" Karl
said gravely. Suppose / am willing
to take that chance? Suppose am
vain enough, or fool enough, to think
that / can make you forget certain
things, certain people. What then r.
II do not forget easily"
"But you would try?"
II would try" said Hedwig, almost
In a whisper.
Kari bent over and taking her hands,
raised her to her feet.

drew her to him. He covered her with

only woman In the room thus un-
adorned. Also she wore her coming out
string Of modest pearls and 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
after course, was somewhat hectic,
even under the constraining presence
of King Karl. There were two reasons
for this: Karls 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 it was
well known. There were many at the
table who felt the whole attempt fool
hardy, the setting Of match to In
fiammable material. There were otn-
ers who resented Karl's presence in
Livonia, and all that it 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, Indebtedness, and
even treachery. And outside the pail
ace, 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 1t looked.
Dinner was over at last. The party
moved back to the salon, vast and
empty place, hung with tapestries and
gayly lighted. Here the semblance OF
gayety persisted, and Karl, affability
itself, spoke a few words to each OF
the guests. Then it was oveE The
guests left, the members Of the coun-
Gil, each with a 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 off the large one. And
there, at last, Karl cornered Hedwig
and demanded speech.
'Where7' she asked, glancing around
the crowded room.
81 shall have to leave that to you,"
he said. "Unless-there is bal
cony."
"But do you think 1t is necessary"
"Why not?"
Because what have to say does
not matter"
"It matters very much to me-" he
replied gravely.
Hedwig went first, slipping away
quietly and unnotlced. Karl asked the
archduchess' 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 go, he was neither
hopelessly bad nor hard, his first words
were kind and genuine, and almost
brought her to tears.
"Poor little grill" he said.
He had dropped the curtain behind
him. and they stood alone.

hot kisses, her neck, her face, the soft
angle below her ear. Then he held her
away from him triumphantly. SNOW"
he said, "have you forgotten?"
But Hedwig, scarlet with shame,
faced him steadily. "No." she said.
Later in the evening the old king
received a present, rather wilted
rose, to which was pinned card, with
"Best wishes from Ferdinand William
Otto," printed on 1t in careful letters.
It was the only flower the king had
received during his illness.

ELK0 PEOPLE MAY BUILD
OIL SHALE RECOVERY PLANT

People returning from San Fran
cisco, Reno, Salt Lake and other cities
say that the main topic of conversa-
tion among mining men and other in
vestors in the hotel corridors is on
the oil shales in Elko county, and
especially the deposits in the near
vicinity of the city of Elko. This, to-
gether with the fact that one COM
pany has already been organized and
has raised capital to install a plant.
which is to be situated just across the
river from Elko. and other companies
are making preparations for erecting
plants the coming year. makes the
outlook for the oil shale properties
very promising and removes all doubt
that the coming season will see great
activities along this line Elko Free

ACCIDENT VICTIMS
IMPROVE RAPIDLY

DR.. w. F. Berry stated this after

ploye of the Winnemucca Garage, and
Lee Curry mining man, who were
injured in an automobile accident
which occurred near Jungo about 5
pm. Wednesday, were recovering rap.
idly. Saunders, the more seriously
injured, is suffering considerably from
severe strain, but is displaying re-
markable recuperative power and will
soon be well.
Saunders was driving the car, which
he was taking to Jungo for Curry
who purchased it here earlier in the
day. Only short distance from the
Jungo station something went wrong
and the car turned completely over
throwing Curry out and the machine
ran over him. Saunders was caught
between the steering wheel and the
back of the seat No bones were
broken.

VOTE FOR GIFT TO AMERICAN
RED CROSS GREATLY OPPOSED

Opposition to contributions to the
Red Cross with cts present constitu-
ton and leanings" by vote of boards
of directors of various business or
ganizations is increasing, especially
among former supporters of the Red
Cross who have been alienated by the
subscription of funds for vivisectional
purposes in France, and those who
believe the Red Cross is being ex-
plotted by the American Medical As
sociation. Last summer objection was
made by stockholders in various cor
porations to methods in subscribing
to Red Cross funds. and this opposi-
ton has stiffened with the accumula-
ton of evidence of misapplication of
these. funds.
One instance of a stockholders
objections is given in letter written
by Freeland Howe Jr.. at Norway, Me-,
in reply to a communication from a
company asking for his proxy to be
used for ratifying contributions voted
by the board of directors to the Red
Cross and Y.MC.A. war work and the
purchase of Liberty bonds. He says:
II wish to say that | am heartily in
favor of the purchase of such Liberty
bonds as seems advisable by our
board of directors. but l am decidedly
not in favor of contributions to the
Red Cross with its present constitu-
ton and leanings / feel quite sure
that the founder of this institution,
Miss Clara Barton. would feel much
as | do. Apparently the Red Cross
is being systematically exploited by
the American Medical Association and
other similar organizations. and under
these organizations is causing a great
deal of torture and suffering which is
wholly unnecessary.
"They are making appropriations to
aid vivisection and are catering to
indulgences in preventive inocula-
tions-so-called-w the consequen-
tial suffering, sickness and death of
some of the flower of our country
under the guise of measles, pneu-
monia and so forth.
IF you can assure me that my
proxy will be voted to the end that
have above written, | shall be very
glad to send it to you; otherwise |
shall see. if possible, that such a rep
resentative is found or that proper
action is taken to restrain our direc
tors from voting money to an,
such purpose. "-[Christian Science

.LOVELOCK VALLEY
LAND IN DEMAND

The sale of about 5000 acres of Ian 4
in the Lovelock valley, closed two
weeks ago, followed by several trans
actions in extensive farm tracts in
the same region, has interested San
Francisco real estate agents who spe-
cialize in country lands, says the San
Francisco Chronicle Continuing, it
remarsk:
Locally, this activity is largely at
tributed to the fact that the United
States government, through its recla-
nation department, in conjunction
with the state engineer of Nevada, has
placed funds at its disposal and is nov.
making preliminary photographic sur
veys and estimates for construction of
extensive storage reservoirs to serve
the land in the valley.
Reports from Lovelock are to the
eeffct that big deals in lands and cat
tie are daily consummated there Cali
fornia, Utah and Eastern capitalists
are said to be seeking investments in
the valley farms and grazing lands,
the high price of cattle and wheat be-
ing the incentive.
The Lovelock valley is situated at
the extreme lower range and delta IF
the Humboldt river. After the river
traverses 1000 miles from it's heal
waters in the snow-capped Ruby
mountains of Elko county, Nevada, its
drainage area embraces 1890 square
miles, one-eighth of the entire area of
the state. Just below Lovelock valley
the Humboldt river disappears into
the Humboldt sink The valley is
twenty-five miles long, north and
south, by five to eight miles east and
west. 1t is the bed of an ancient lake
and is one continuous body of fertile
delta land. The soil is formed of river
and lake deposits. The accumulated
silt and sediment of ages of river flow
are mingled with the growth and de-
cay of tules and other marsh plants,
the result being a body of extremely
rich black loan soil, rich in humus,
well sunk to a depth of 400 feet.

prominent business men, who all
showed a whole-hearted enthusiasm.

to ease the burden.
Following are the names of the ini-

EYES OF THE WORLD
TO BE BILL TONIGHT

Nothing less than a masterpiece is
expected of the makers of the beauti-
full photo spectacle, Ramona" when
the new cinema production of Harold
Bell Wright's famous story, The
Eyes of the World" comes to the
American Theater tonight for a one
day engagement.
Wright's cyclonic story of romance
and adventure in the cities and noun
tains of Southern California, which
had such charm between book covers
that over million copies were sold,
has been translated into a magnifi-
cent multiple-reel feature of ten sec
tions, the author himself personally
assisting in the work. 1t is the first
time in the history of motion pictures
that such a thing has taken place.
AS in the case of Ramona" no
pains or expense were spared to make
The Eyes of the World" a work Of
distinction. Six months were spent
upon the work in Los Angeles and in
Riverside and San Bernardino coun-
ties in California.
An orchestral score of elaborate
character. to be played by a specially
augmented orchestra, will accompany
The Eyes of the World" throughout
the entire evening which the show
consumes.

BIRDS BUILD NESTS
IN OLD WAR drum

Patrons of County Clerk Davey's
office recently have noted a cooling of
pigeons in the record vault and many
have inquired about it.
There is a little hole in the wall
for the ventilation of the vault, and
the pigeons roasted for a long time
just inside the opening. The recent
warm, sunny days made the birds
think of nesting and they ventured
inside the vault and pre-empted an
old war drum, with a bullet hole in IL,
that used to belong to Indian Mike,
who, it will be remembered, was
chased with his gang half across the
state and in battle at Kelley Creek
every one of the marauders was killed
with the exception of a young woman
and little girl. That occurred in the
winter of 1911. The Indians had mur-
dered four stockmen near DEMO and
robbed them, and posses of officers
and buckaroos, besides the state DO
lice, hunted them. Then a battle fol-
lowed, one of the men of the trailing
posses being the first to fall.
The war drum and a spear, the
latter having a butcher knife blade
for point and the handle gaudily
decorated with red flannel and feath-
ers, were used as exhibits" in the law
proceedings which followed the ex-
termination of the Indian band, and
remained in the custody of J. w.
Davey, county clerk and clerk of the
district court.
So the drum that once summoned
warriors to battle has now become the
nesting place Of the Bird of Peace and
sounds that meant fight and kill have
given place to the cooling of innocence.
Verify, swords shall be made into
pruning hooks" and cannon shall be
used to decorate courthouse lawns
and city parks.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE TRY

Oh, say. can you sing from the star
to the end,
What SO proudly you stand for
when orchestras play it;
When the whole congregation, ir

Strike up the grand hymn, and ther
torture and slay it?
How they below and shout when
they're first starting out,
3ut "the dawn's early light" finds
them fioundering about.
Tis THE Star Spangled Banner
they're trying TO sing.
tut they don't know the words Of
the precious old thing.
Harkl The "twilight's last CLEAN.
ing" has some of them stopped.
But the valiant survivors press for
ward serenely
To "the ramparts we watched" where
some others are dropped
And the loss of the leaders is mani
fest keenly.
Then "the rockets red glare" gives
the bravest a scare,
And there's few left to face the
bombs bursting in air.
'Tis a thin line of heroes that manage
to save
