love Of his city. To this the chancellor
observed that 1t would be arranged.
and the affair was over. To obviate
the difficulty of having the delegation
back down the long room, 1t 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 Hedwigs
marriage before the council, and now
he knew he would never leave it.
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 such
times he saw Hubert, only, strangely
enough, not as u man grown, but as a
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 doze, he saw
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 flesh
reused the king.
The sister left them together. and
in her small room dropped on her
knees before the holy image.
In the kings bed chamber Prince
Ferdinand William Otto sat on high
chair, and talked, but he viewed his
grandfather with alarm. His aunt had
certainly intimated that his running
away had made the king worse. And
he looked very i'll.
I'm awfully sorry, grandfather" he
said.

he said nothing. There were many
things he wanted TO say. He had gone
