Let me save you from the scrap
heap!
Doctor. T am not sick, but [ don't
feel right" That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
it. You are not SICK enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But YOU don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not restful, and you don't enjoy
your food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before You begin to see diff
fc1lties where there really are none.
Trifes worry you, and not having
enough troubles of your own, you
borrow some.
OF course. to a casual observer, you
seem the same, because you are try
ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
you only imagine things; you should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self. You sometimes think they are
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
neved vigor. You begin to wonder
if it really is your mind only. And if
it is so, is it the first step to insan-
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy,
but in vain. You find yourself in
the grip of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when you feel -FOUR strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the same
condition as a delicately constructed
engine, which has not been cared for
right. Put it in the hands of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
it in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at 1t, or turn it over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon he fit for the scrap heap

already"
"Then you think 1t is all very ter

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.

A new turn, this, with q 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, Il want you
to come willingly because-I care q
great deal would like you to care,
too. Don't you think you would, after
a time7"
~After a time!" said Hedwig drear-
lily. That's what they all say. After
time 1t doesn't matter. Marriage is
always the same-after a time"
"Why should marriage be always
the same, after q timer" he inquired.
'This sort Of marriage, without
love-"
1T Is hardly that, Is it, love you"
II wonder how much you love me-"
Karl smiled. He was on his own
ground here. The girllsh question put
him at ease. Enough for US both, at
first" he said. "After that"
But" said Hedwig desperately,

for you, the way you will want me to-.
You talk of being fair. I want to be
fair to you. You have a right" She
checked herself abruptly. After all. he
might have a 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 I think you want to tell me,
is something I already know" Karl
said gravely. Suppose I am willing
to take that chance? Suppose am

that l can make you forget certain
things, certain people. What then?'

Suex Canal Facts.

The Suez canal, planned and con-
structed by a French engineer and
French capital, is owned and operated
by French company in which the
British government holds a controlling
interest, obtained in 1875 by buying
the large block Of stock previously
owned by Egypt, for s20,OOO,OOO. Yes
sells Of all nations, whether armed or
not, warships as well as merchant
ships, are allowed to pass through the
canal In peace or war at a uniform
rate Of toll according to size or tom
mage Of the vessel. The fare is 9
francs and Is centimes, or about S1.25;
a unit of tonnage. The regulations

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: 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 1t was
well known. There were many at the
table who felt the whole attempt fool
hardy, the setting of a match TO IN
flammable 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-

nlstcmpcr and DisloyaIty In Ireiond

II there is one cancerous spot IN the whole
entente alliance, that spot is Ireland.
rhat one island of all the broad area now
in arms against Germany has a monopoly
upon organized treason and systematic sedi-
ton. Elsewhere there are individuals who
are known to be utterly dsloyal to their
respective governments, but nowhere else
has any great body of the people banded to-
gether in an allied country for the deliberate
purpose OF stabbing their own nation in the
back.
The Sim Fein conspiracy has resulted in
wholesale arrests, and its exposure shows
that lrishmen of prominence have been guilty
of treason Of the blacklist sort. 1t is obvious
that Great Britain must proceed against this
attempt to betray her into the hands Of the
enemy with frmness which will warn all
Ireland that swift death IS to be the fate
of any traitor who rises against his govern
ment at such a time this. 1t may be as
sumed that London is fully minded to act
with the utmost decision In the present in
stance just as it acted in others less grave
in their extent
More serious perhaps than the mere dis
covery of this conspiracy is the likelihood
that it will longer defer home rule for Ireland
and will make more difficult the solution Of
the problem Of Irish CONSUMPTION. These
questions were perpleXing enough even be-
fore it was found that the inherent enmity
Of a large body Of Irishmen toward England
had led them into an attitude of actual hos
ti!ity to their government. 1t now seems
doubtful if the British government will be
able to settle them except by forcing issues
which might be most unfortunate.
There is nothing moro absurd than the
Irish republic which the Sim Feiners have
proposed to set up, except the assumption of
the misguided followers Of this movement
that they would be able to browbeat the
British government into an acquiescence in
their plan 1t is true that the British nation
is exerting every ounce OF energy within
the empire toward the defeat of Germany.
nut 1t is likewise true that it is quite able 10
suppress revolt at home even if that revolt
embraces the whole of Ireland There is
nothing surprising about the fact that Ger
many was willing to play with tho Irish
traitors but 1t is doubted If Berlin imagined
Tor minute that it could hamstring Great
britain by inviting few hundred Irishmen
TO take their stand before firing squads.
Germany has conceived many childish
schemes, that for the partition of the United
states as bait to Mexico being the most
childish, but that government could scarcely
nave real faith in a group OF Slim Fein
plotters.
