She glanced up, and catching his
eyes, colored family. "These are
things you should know"
He knew her very well. A jealous
woman would go far. He knew now
that she was jealous. When he spoke
1t was with calculating brutality. "You
mean, in view of my impending mar
riage?"
So it was arranged Finally ar
ranged. Wen, she had done her best.
He knew the truth. She had told 1t
fairly. If, knowing it, he persisted,
it would be because her power over
him was dead at last.
Yes. DO not know how far your
arrangements have gone. You have
at least been warned"
But she saw, by the very way he
drew himself up and smiled, that he
understood. More than that, he
doubted her. He questioned What she
had said. The very fact that she had
told him only the truth added to her
resentment.
"You viii see," she said sullenly.
Because he thought he already saw,
and because she had given him bad
moment. Karl chose to be deliberately
cruel. "Perhapsl" he said. but you
leave out of this discussion the one
element that / consider important.
Hedwig herself. If the Princess He'd
wig were tomorrow to be without q
country, should still hope to marry
her."
She had done well up to now, had
kept her courage and her temper, had
taken her cue from him and been quict
and poised. But more than his words,
his cruel voice, silky with friendship.

Bitterly, and with reckless passion.
she flung at him Hedwig's infatuation
for young Larisch. and prophesied his
dishonor as q result of 1t.
In the en1 she grew quiet and sat
looking into the fire with eyes full of
stony despair. She had tried and
failed. There was one way left, only
one, and even that would not bring
him back to her. Let Hedwig escape
and marry Milky Larisch-still where
was she? Let the terrorists strike
their blow and steal the crown prince.
Again-where was she?
Her emotions were deadened. all
save one, and that was her hatred OF
Hedwig. The humiliation of that mo
ment was due to her. Somehow, some
day, she would be even with Hedwig.
Karl left her there at last huddled in
her chair, left full of resentment, the
ashes of his old love cold and gray.
There was little reminder of the girl
of the mountains In the stony-eyed
woman he had left sagged low by the
fire.
Once out in the open air, the king
of Karnia drew long breath. The
affair was over. 1t had been unpleas-
ant. 1t was always unpleasant to
break with a woman. But it was time.
He neither loved her nor needed her.
Friendly relations between the two
countries were established, and soon,
very soon, would be ratified by his
marriage.
1t was not of Olga Lcschek, but of
Hedwig that he thought, as his car
climbed swiftly to the lodge.

Unity Of Command.

The Entente Allies are reaping
now the benefits and advantages
of unity of military command on
the western battle line They pre-
sent to the Germans solid, unbro-
ken front, not a series of disjointed
units able. brave and strong, but
hacking the tremendous driving
force of unity of action, of perfect
cooperation.
This unity of command neces-
sarily requires some sacrifices of
national pride, some concessions by
some of the Allied nations. But
how much are these overweiehed
by the benefits accruing. 1t hurts
the Germans hundred times more
than it hurts any of the Allies.
Unity of political command in
the determined front the United
States shall present to the world a.
this crisis is hardly less important
than unity of military command.
Brave and able men, even though
united in their general aims, but of
divided opinion and separate action,
lack the power that comes from
united and unified command.
Political differences should be
buried. Not left to be buried in
Congress by Senators and Represen.

pride on the part of the British,

eral of another nation. But patriot
