love Of his city. To this the chancellor
observed that it 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 IL.
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 a 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
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 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, bat 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.
"Tm awfully sorry, grandfather" he
said.
For what?"
"That I went away the other day.
sir"
"It was, after all, a natural thing
to do"
The crown prince could hardly be-
lieve his ears.

still with closed eyes.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto felt
uneasy. "But l am very comfortable,
and-and happy" he FASTENED to say.

he said Nothing. There were many

MAY ask you question, sirY
'sWhat is it?"
"Wiu you tell me about Abraham
Lincoln?''
"Why? The king was awake
enough now. He fixed the crown
prince with keen eyes.
"Well, Miss Braithwaite does not
care for him. She says he was not
great man, not as great as Mr.. Glad
stone, anyhow. But Bobby-that's the
boy I met; told you about him-he
says he was the greatest man who
ever lived"
"And who," asked the king, sdo you

"Here, in the park. 1t is a great

"a cave-here in the park?"
'I'll take you, if you'd like to see it."
Old Adelbert was puzzled. The park
offered, so far as he knew, no place
for cave. 1t was a plain, the site
Of the old wall, and now planted in
grass and flowers. He himself had
seen it graded and sown. A caveI

''But guess you'll need your eyed

Perhaps, had he known the difficult
ties ahead, old Adelbert would nd
have gone on. And, had he turnet

and the life story of small prince

Not a cave, it appeared at first. A

so heaped with leaves that its lower
half was covered.

Prolonged search produced the key.

It was strange.
Bobby was removing the Eeaf-mold
with his hands. 1T was almost all

dustriously 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

but there's a room below; quite good
room. And have candles
Truly, a room. Built Of old brick
and damp, but with a 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 car
pet, and the odds and ends the child
had brought.
Old Adelbert felt curiously shaken.
"None have visited this place since you
have been here?" he asked.
81 don't suppose any one knows
about it. Do you?"
''Those who built it, perhaps. But
it is old, very old. It 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, a
messenger had been sent for help. But
that was passage; while this was
dungeon.

fine speech among smiles. But the

and Otto cleared his throat.
"Thank you all very much" he said.
"It is a very beautiful gift. / admire

it on my desk, but suppose it is too

The spokesman hoped that it might

works cost money, and money, my
hero, is scarce-v scarce"
Again the group laughed.
After time he grasped the truth.
There was such an order. The cause
was given as the kings illness.
"Since when" demanded old Adel-
bert angrily, shas the sound Of his
soldiers marching disturbed the king?"
"The sound Of wooden legs annoys
him." observed the hooking student,
lighting a cigarette. HE would hear
only pleasant sounds, such as the noise
of tax money pouring into his vaults.
Mel can think Of pleasanter: the
tolling Of the cathedral bell, at GER
tain time, will be music to my ears !"
Old Adelbert stood, staring ahead.
At last he went out into the street,
muttering. ''They shame us before the
people," he said quickly.
The order Of the council had indeed
been issued, painful business over
which Mettlich and the council had
pondered long. For, in the state OF
things. it was deemed unwise to per-
nit any gathering of the populace en-
masse. Mobs lead to riots, and riots
again to mobs. Five thousand armed
men. veterans, but many Of them in
their prime, were in themselves a
danger. And on these days of anni-
versary it had been the custom of the
university to march also, a guard OF
honor. Sedition was rife among the
students.
The order was finally issued.
Old Adelbert was i'll that night. He
tossed about in a fever. His body
ached, even the leg which so long ago
had moldered in it's shallow grave on
battlefield. For these things happen.
by morning he was better, but he was
different man. His eyes glowed. His
body twitched. He was stronger, too,
for now he broke his sword across his
knee, and flung the pieces out of the
window. And with them went the last
fragment Of his old loyalty to his king.
Old Adelbert was now. potentially. a
traitor.
On the morning after Adelbert had
turned his back on his king, Bobby
Thorpe rose early, so early, indeed,
that even Pepy still slept in her mar
row bed, and the milk sellers had not
started on their rounds. The early
rising was mistake, owing to watch
which had strangely gained an hour.
Somewhat disconsolately, he wan
dered about. Heavy quiet reigned.
From window he watched the meat
seller hang out freshly killed deer,
