the inn where Mettlich had spent his
uneasy hours.
She had expected to go to the lodge,
but at nine o'clock that night Kari
came to her, knocking at the door OF
her room and entering without writing
for permission.
The room was small and coy with
freight. Her scarlet cloak, flung over
a chair, made dash of brilliant color.
Two lighted candles on high carved
chest, and between them plaster fig
ure of the Mother and Child, built-in
bed with white curtains-that was the
room.
Before the open fire Olga Loschek
sat in her low chair. She wore still
her dark dress; and veil, ready to be
donned at the summons Of message
from Karl. trailed across her knee. In
the freight she looked very young
young and weary. Karl, who had
come hardened to scene, found her
appealing, almost pathetic.
She rose at his entrance and, after
a moment of surprise, smiled family.
But she said nothing, nor did Karl,
until he had lifted one Of her cold
hands, and brushed it with his lips.
"Well!' he said. "And again,
Olga -
"Once again."
She looked up at him. Yes, he was
changed. The old Karl would have
taken her in his arms. This new Karl
was urbane, smiling, uneasy.
''There is nothing wrong, is there?"
he said. "Your note alarmed me. Not
the note, but your coming here"
81 was anxious. And there were
things felt you should know"
"What things?'
"The truth about the kings condi-
ton, for one. He. is dying. The bulle-
tins lie. He is no better"
"So!" said Karl uneasily. "But the
chancellor assured me-" He stopped.
It was not yet time to speak Of the
chancellor's visit.
.'The CHANCELLOR He lies, Of course.
How bad things are you may judge
when tell you that hidden passage
from the palace has been opened and
cleared, ready for instant flight"
It was Karl's turn to be startled.
He rose, and stood staring down at her.
"Are you certain Of that?"
"Certain!" She laughed bitterly.
1.-THE Observation-Disclosures, they
call themselves-are everywhere. They
know everything, see everything.

Here, strangely enough, it was the
chancellor who fumbled for his hand

the two of them kneeling side by side
at Etzel, the little lad who was mot

long years behind him Of such things
as fill mans life. And because the
open door was not so far ahead for
him either, and because he believed i'm
plicitly in the great record within the
gate, he shook his shaggy head.
So the pilgrimage was arranged.
With due publicity, Of course, and due
precaution for safety. By train to the
foot Of the mountains, and then on
foot for the ten miles to Etzel.
The crown prince went through his
preparation in sort Of rapt solemn
ity. So must the boy crusaders have
looked as, starting on their long jour-
ney, they faced south and east, toward
the far distant Sepulcher of Our Lord.
The kings council went, the chancellor,
the mayor of the city, wearing the
great gold chain of his office around his
neck, and a handful Of soldiers-a
simple pilgrimage and the more affect
Ing. There were no streaming banners,
no magnificent vestments. The arch
bishop accompanied them, and a flag
bearer.
They went on foot to the railway
station through lines of kneeling peO-
pie, the boy still rapt, and looking
straight ahead, the chancellor SEEM

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
it was with calculating brutality. You
mean, in view of my impending mar
riageY
So it was arrangedi Finally ar
ranged. Well, she had done her best.
He knew the truth. She had told it
fairly. If, knowing it, he persisted,
it would be because her power over
him was dead at last.
eyes. I 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 will see," she said sullenly.
Because he thought he already saw,
and because she had given him bad
moment, Karl chose to be deliberately
cruel. perhaps !" 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 a
country, I 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 quiet
and poised. But more than his words,
his cruel voice, silky with friendship,
drove her to the breaking point.
Bitterly, and with reckless passion,
she flung at him Hedwig's infatuation
for young Larisch, and prophesied his
dishonor as result Of it.
In the end 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 a long breath. The
affair was over. It had been unpleas-
ant. It 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.
It was not Of Olga Loschek, but OF
Hedwig that he thought, as his car
climbed swiftly to the lodge.

fOg which the boy would pray, but a
greater one. Surely these kneeling
people, gazing with moist and kindly
eyes at the crown prince, could not,
at the hot words Of demagogues, turn
into the mob he feared. But it had
happened before. The people who had,
one moment, adored the Dauphin of
France on his balcony at Versailles,
had lived to scream for his life.
The countess, standing on her bal
cony and staring down into the valley,
beheld the pilgrimage and had thus
her first knowledge Of it. She was
incredulous at first, and stood gazing,
gripping the stone railing with tense
hands. She watched, horror stricken.
The crown prince. himself. come to
Ethel to prayl For his grandfather,
Of course. Then, indeed, must things
be bad with the king, as bad as they
could be.
The church doors closed behind
them.
Olga Loschek fell on her knees. She
was shaking from head to foot. And
because the religious training of her
early life near the shrine had given
her faith in miracles, she prayed for
one. Rather, she made bargain with
God:
IL any word came to her from Karl,
any, no matter to what it pertained,
she would take 1t for a sign, and at
tempt flight. If she was captured, she
would kill herself.
But, If no word came from Karl by
the hour Of her departure the next
morning, then she would do the thing
she had set out to do, and let him be-
ware! The king dead, there would be
no king. Only over the dead bodies
Of the Livonians would they let him
marry Hedwig and the throne. It
would be war.
knees, her bargain made, the plan
came to her by which, when the time
came, the terrorists were to rouse the
people to even greater fury. Still
kneeling, she turned it over in her
mind. 1t was possible. More, it could
be made plausible, with her assistance.
And at the vision it evoked-Mettlich's
horror and rage, HedWig's pulling
tears, her own triumph-she took a
deep breath. Revenge with ven
geance, retaliation for old hurts and
fresh injuries, these were what she
found on her knees, while the bell in
the valley commenced the mass, and
a small boy, very rapt and very earn
est, prayed for his grandfather's life.
Yet the bargain came very close to
being made the other way that day,
and by Karl himself.
On the day of the pilgrimage Karl
found himself strangely restless and
uneasy. Olga Loschek haunted him,
her face when he had told her about
the letter, her sagging figure when he
had left her.
Something like remorse stirred on
him. She had taken great risks for

suspect. Student meetings are pro-
hibited. The yearly procession OF
veterans is forbidden, for they trust
none, even their old soldiers. The
council meets day after day in secret
session.
"But the army"
'"They do not trust the army"
Karl's face was grave. Something
of the trouble In Livonia he had
known. But this argued an immediate
crisis.

A BilIions Attack.

When you have a bilious at
tack your liver fails to perform
its functions. You become con-
stipated. The food you eat fer
ments in your stomach instead
of digesting. This infames the
stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take three of Chamber
lain's Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out your stom-
ach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost a quar-
ter.

Noah a Bad Example.

To perk up his shipbuilders,
Chairman Hurley gets this off:
"Noah was 600 years old before
he knew how to build an ark.
Don't lose your grip"
We hardly can see how Hur-
ley's builders are to get much
inspiration from his holding that
ancient mariner up as a shining
example. Noah had warning in
advance and plans and material
at hand. He didn't have to think
of U-boats. All he had to do was
to build something that would
float while it rained. He did a
splendid job, for his time, but
what he put together was a
mere piano box compared to the
modern big freighter.
And, pease, Mr.. Hurley, don't
carry the Noah example too far.
According to Biblical account,
when he had finished his voyage,
Noah set him a vineyard and got
boiling drunk on the juice of the
grape, which was a shameful
finish for a shipbuilder 600 years
old and over.-The Shreveport
Times.

INVESTMENT

The time to invest in an enterprise is before
development is completed, for if you wait
until it is paying dividends it is too late. The
man who can see his opportunity and has the
judgment and nerve to back it, is the mar
who reaps big Oil and Refinery Profits.
DEVELOPMENT
AN AGGRESSIVE AND SUCCESSFUL DE-
VELOPMENT CAMPAIGN IS OUR AIM;
this is possible owing to our large and diver
sifed lease holdings, comprising in all about
seven thousand $4,000 acres, located in
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri Some are
in proven, some in semi-proven and some in
undevelOped territory; We believe that oil
is under some Of these leases. Government
statistics show that from seventy-fve to
eighty-fve per cent Of the Oil and Gas wells
drilled are producers. No business of to-day
is producing such large returns as the OIL
BUSINESS, when in the hands of men who
understand it.
