Over and above the great activfAy
of the British yards In building new
warships, particularly destroyers, and
the construction of merchant ships. an
enormous amount Of time and labor
has to be devoted to repairs. In a re-
cent speech Sir Eric Geddes saidt
During one month the number Of wat
vessels which needed repairs was
nearly 1,OO0-that Is, in addition TO the
LOO merchant ships-and that was by
no means an abnormal month. Since
the beginning Of the war $1,000 war
vessels. including patrol craft and
mine sweepers, have been locked or
placed on the ways, and these figures
do not include repair work done TO the
vessels of our allies"

The festivities were taking a serious

CHAPTER XIX.

In the Road Of the Good Children.
Haeckel crept to a window and
looked out. Bonfires were springing up
in the open square In front Of the gov.
eminent house. Mixed with the red
glare came leaping yellow flames
The wooden benches were piled to-
gether and fired. and by each such
pyre stood gesticulating, shouting red
demon.
Guns were appearing now. Wagons
loaded with them drove into the
square, to be surrounded by q howl
ing mob. The percentage of sobet
citizens was growing-Sober citizens nj
longer. For the little king had not
been shown to them. Obviously he
could not be shown to them. There
fore rumor was right, and the boy was
gone.
Against the palace, therefore, their
rage was turned. The shouts for the
little king turned to threats. The
archbishop had come out on the bal.
cony accompanied by Father Gregory.
The archbishop had raised his hands,
but had not obtained silence. Instead,
to his horror and dismay, few stones
had been thrown.
He retired, breathing hard. But
Father Gregory had remained, facing
the crowd fearlessly, his arms NOT
raised in benediction. but folded ecrost
his chest. Stones ratified about him.
but he did not finch. and at last Id
gained the ears of the crowd. His
great voice, stern and fearless, held
them.
"My friends" he said, "there Is work
to be done. and you lose time. We
cannot show you the king, because he
is not here. While you stand there
shrieking, his enemies have their will
Of him. The little king has been stolen
from the palace"
He might have swayed them. even
then. He tried to move them to
search Of the city. But a pallid man,
sweating with excitement. climbed on
the shoulders Of two companions, and
faced the crowd.
AYE, he is stolen" he cried. 'Bus
who stole himf Not the city. We ar&
loyal. Ask the palace where he So
Ask those who have allied themselves
with Karnia. Ask Mettlich."
There was more, Of course. The
cries Of "To the palacew increased.
Those behind pushed forward, SHOW.
ing the ones ahead toward the arch
way, where line of soldiers with fixed
bayonets stood waiting.
The archduchess and Hilda with q
handful Of women, had fed to the roof,
and from there saw the advance of the
mob. Hedwig had haughtily refused
to go.
At the hospital, Haeckel, the stu
dent, stood by his window, and little
by little the veil lifted. His slow
blood stirred first The beating Of
drums. the shneks Of the crowd, the
fires, all played their part. Another
patient Joined him, and together they
looked out.

acrimonious1y almost they penetrated
to the silent room beyond. On to the
discussion came Milky Larisch, COW

from his horse. He entered without
ceremony, his boyish face drawn and
white, his cap gone,e his eyes star
ing.

and dramatic, even In tragedy, he I'M
buckled his sword belt and took 1t of,

thing has happened. He was in my
charge, and 1 left him."
No one said anything. The council
looked at loss, rather like flock of
sheep confronting some strange ami
NAL.
II would have shot myself" said
Milky Larisch, "but 1t was too easy"
Then, rather at a loss as to the
exact etiquette of arresting ones self,
he bowed slightly and waited.
The door into the kings bedchamber
opened. The chancellor came through,
his face working. 1t closed behind
him.
Gentlemen Of the council" he said.
ut is my duty-my duty-to an
nounce-" His voice broke; his
grizzled chin quivered; tears rolled
down his cheeks. Friends" he said
pitifully, "our good king-my old COM
rade-is dead!"
The birthday supper was over. It
had ended with an American Ice cream,
brought in carefully by Pepy, because
Of its expensiveness. They had cut
the cake with "Boby" on the top, and
the crown prince had eaten far more
than was good for him.
He sat, lingering the Lincoln penny
and feeling extremely full and very
contented.
Then. suddenly, from far off church
a deep-toned bell began to toll slow
ly.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto
caught 1t. st. Stefan's belll He sat
up and listened. The sound was faint;
one felt 1t rather than heard 1t, but
the slow booming was unmistakable.
He got up and pushed his chair back.
Other bells had taken 1t up, and
now the whole city seemed alive with
bells-bells that swung sadly from side
to side, as If they said over and over:
ALAS, alas!"
Something like panic seized Ferdi-
nand William Otto. Some calamity
had happened. Some one was-per-
haps his grandfather.
He turned an appealing face to Mrs.
Thorpe. 81 must CO." he said. 81 do

Now at last the old kings hour had

"Noi Mol" cried Ferdinand Will

door.
. .
While the birthday supper was at
its height, In the bureau Of the con-
cierge sat old Adelbert, heavy and
despairing. That very day had he
learned to what use the committee
would pu. the information he had
given them, and his old heart was
dead within him. One may not be
loyal for seventy years. and then easily
become q traitor.
Then. at seven o'clock. something
happened.
The eondergs's niece had gone,

ing angry groups. AS the groups grew
large, each drum led its followers
toward the government house, where,
on the steps, the revolutionary party
harangued the crowd. Bonfires sprang
up, built of no one knew what, in the
public squares. Red fire burned. The
drums throbbed.
The city had not yet risen. 1t was
large and slow to move. Slow, too, to
believe In treason, or that 1t had no
king. But it was a matter of mo-
ments now, not Of hours.
The noise penetrated into the very
wards Of the hospital. Red fires bathed
pale faces on their pillows in fever
ish glow. Nurses gathered at the WIN
dows, their uniforms and faces alike
scarlet In the glare, and whispered to-
gether.
One such group gathered near the
bedside of the student Haeckel, still
In his lethargy. His body had gained
strength, so that he was clothed at
times. to wander aimlessly about the
ward. But he had remained dazed.
Now and then the curtain Of the past
lifted, but for moment only. He had
forgotten his name. He spent long
hours struggling to pierce the mist

beside his bed, bandage still on his
head clad In shirt and trousers, bare
feet thrust into worn hospital slippers.
The red glare had not reused him, nor
yet the beat of the drums. But word
or two that one of the nurses spoke
caught his ear and held him. He
looked up, and slowly rose to his feet.
Unsteadily he made his way to win
dow, holding to the sill to steady him
self.
Old Adelbert had been working his
way impatiently. The temper OF the
mob was growing ugly. 1t was
suspicious. frightened, potentially dan
gerous. The cry Of "To the palacel"
greeted his ears as he finally emerged
breathless from the throng.
He stepped boldly to the old stone
archway, and faced line of soldiers
there. 81 would see the chancellor !"
he gasped, and saluted.
The captain of the guard stepped
out. "What Ia it you want?" he de-
manded.
"The chancellor" he lowered his
voice. 81 have news Of the crown
prince"
Magic words, indeed. Doors opened
swiftly before them. But time was
flying, too. In his confusion the old
man had only one thought, to reach
tho chancellor. It would have been
better to have told his news at once.
The climbing of stairs takes time when
one Is old and fatigued, and has but
one leg.
However, at last IL was done. and
old Adelbert stumped to the door of
the room where the council sat de-
batting and the chancellor paced the
floor.
Small ceremony now. Led by SOL
diers, who retired and left him to enter
alone, old Adelbert stumbled into the
room. He was out of breath and
dizzy; his heart beat to suffocation.
There was not air enough In all the
world to breathe. He clutched at the
velvet hangings Of the door. and
swayed, but he saw the chancellor.
"Ths crown prince" he said thick
ly, ~ at the home Of the Americans"

RECAPTClRED IN ASHEVILLE
BY SHERIFF BLEASE.

They manage to get away some
times but they always are brought
back. Sheriff Blease and MS deputies
are all the time On the job and the
guilty don't have much chance of es-
cape.
Sometime in October, 1917, one Tom
Byrd managed to make his escape
from the chain gang. He might have
known that it was only temporary
absence and sooner or later he would
come back, so the better part of yalor
and of wisdom is to go ON and serve
your time if you are guilty and take
chances at mercy.
Byrd had been convicted On the
charge for killing his wife at Kinards
and was sentenced to serve for 20
years, a long time but better that
electrocution, and after about two or
three months he made his escape.
He was located in Asheville, n. c..
and on last Tuesday at the request of
Sheriff Blease he was arrested and
held until the sheriff could go for
him. He was returned to the chain
gang on Saturday
