CHAPTER XIII.
The Gate of the Moon.

a curious friendship had sprung up
between old Adelbert and Bobby
Thorpe. In off hours, after school, the
boy hung about the ticket takers
booth, swept now to wonderful clean
illness and adorned within with pic
lures cut from the illustrated papers.
Outwardly Adelbert was peaceful.
The daughter now received his pension
in full, and wrote comforting letters.
But his resentment and bitterness at
the loss of his position at the opera
continued, even grew.
For while he had now even a greater
wage. and could eat three meals, be-
sides second breakfast and afternoon
coffee, down deep In his heart OLD
Adelbert felt that he had lost caste.
The opera-that was setting! He
had been, then, of the elect. And now,
to what had he fallen! To selling
tickets for an American catchpenny
scheme, patronized by butchers, by
housemaids, by the common people
a noisy, uproarious crowd, that never
theless counted their change with
suspicious eyes, and brought lunches
in paper boxes, which they scattered
about.
There was, however, a consolation.
He had ordered a new uniform. Not
for twenty years had he ventured the
extravaganza, and even now his eau
tious soul quailed at the price. For
the last half dozen years he had
stumped through the streets, painfully
aware of Shabbiness, of q shiny back,
of patches, when, on the anniversary
Of the great battle to which he had
sacrificed leg the veterans marched
between lines Of cheering people.
Now, on this approaching anniver-
sary, he could 60 peacefully, nay, even
proudly. The uniform was of the best
cloth, and on its second fitting showed
already its marvel of tailoring.
On an evening a week before the
parade would occur, he got out his
boots. He bought always large boots
with straight soles, the right not much
different from the left in shape. mus
he managed thriftily to wear, on his
one leg, first one of the pair, then the
other. But they were both worn now
and because of the cost OF the new
uniform, he could not buy others.
Armed with the better of the two
he visited the cobbler's shop, and there
met with bitter news.

fishing, it will do well enough for
marching"
The usual group was in the shop
mostly young men, scattering OF gray
heads. The advocates of strange doc
trines, most of them. Old Adelbert
disapproved Of them, regarded then
with q sort Of contempt.

observed that 1t would be arranged.
and the affair was over. To obviate
the difficulty Of having the delegation
back down the long room, it was the
crown prince who departed first, with
the chancellor.
Late In the afternoon the king sent
for Prince Ferdinand William Otto.
He had not left his bed since the day
he had placed the matter of HedWig's
marriage before the council, and now
he knew he would never leave 1t.
There were times between sleeping
and waking when he fancied he had
already gone, and that only his weary
body on the bed remained. At sucn
times he saw Hubert, only, strangely
enough, not as q man grown, but as
small boy again; and his queen, but
as she had looked many years before,
when he married her, and when at last,
after months of married wooing, she
had crept willing into his arms.
So, awakening from a doze, he saw
the boy there, and called him Hubert
Prince Ferdinand William Otto, feel
ing rather worried, did the only thing
he could think Of. He thrust his warm
hand into his grandfather's cropping
one. and the touch of his soft hesh
reused the king.
The sister left them together, ano
in her small room dropped on hel
knees before the holy image.
In the kings bed chamber Prince
Ferdinand William Otto sat on mgr
chair, and talked, but he viewed MS
grandfather with alarm. His aunt hac

grass and flowers lie himself had
seen 1t graded and sown. A cave!

Outside the thicket Bobby hesitated.
Il ought to blindfold YOU" he said
But / guess you'll need your eyes
It's hard place to get to-"
Perhaps, had he known the difficult
ties ahead, old Adelbert would not
have gone on. And, had he turned
back then, the history of q certain
kingdom of Europe would have been
changed Maps, too, and school books
and the life story of q small prince
But he went on. Stronger than his
young guide, he did not crawl, but

| 1t was strange.
Bobby was removing the leafmold
with his hands. "It was almost all
covered when I found it," he said, in
dustrlously scraping.
The door swung in, silently, as
though the hinges had been recently
oiled; as indeed they had, but not by
the boy.
Its rather dirty" he explained.
"You go down steps first. Be very
careful"
He extended an earthly hand and led
the old man down. IT'S dark here.

Truly, Il room. Built of old brick.
and damp, but with free circulation
of air. Old Adelbert stared about him.
1t was not entirely dark. A bit of
light entered from the aperture at the
head Of the steps. BY it, even before
Bobby had lighted his candle, he saw
the broken chair, the piece Of old ear
pet, and the odds and ends the child
had brought.
Old Adelbert felt curi0usly shaken.
None have visited this place since you
have been here?' he asked.
II don't suppose any one knows
about it. Do you?"
"Those who built it, perhaps. But
1t is old, very old. 1t is possible"
He stopped, lost In speculation.
There had been story once Of a
passageway under the wall, but he
recollected nothing clearly. A passage
way leading out beyond the wall.
through which, In a great siege, q
messenger had been sent for help. But
that was a passage; while this was q

that. He stepped back, was nudged,
and recollected.
''Also gift" he said, and ruined a
fine speech among smiles. But the
presentation took place in due order,
and Otto cleared his throat.
THANK you all very much" he said.
ut is very beautiful gift. l admire
it very much. l should like to keep
it on my desk, but suppose it is too
valuable. Thank you very much
The spokesman hoped that 1t might
be arranged that he keep it on his
desk, an ever-Dresent reminder of the
