CELEBRATING
CAMBRIA 5 FALL.

British Front, Oct. 10-The fall ot
Cambria was celebrated in that Lit
tie Paris today by proxy. The in
habitan,s had all been evacuated a
month ago, leaving only a priest
who managed to linger and bear
witness of German pillagc and de-
struction.
The celebration OF the recovery
of the city, which has been a most
important buttress of enemy strength
in France since August, 1914, was
by Tommies and correspondents OF
French, British and American pa
pers. Pianos moved out OF houses
by royal engineers searching for cX-
plosive traps tinkled all over the
town. A French correspondent
played God Save the King" on a
iiny German piano in the center OF
the Grand Place, while We grouped
about him facing the Hotel de Vile,
which had a huge sign Commands

and stone bomb shelter in front. y

British officer returned the compli-
ment by playing the "MarseilIaise,
and Britishcrs around him sang the
words in French. Overhead Whizzed
British Shell, and wc chccred Them
an their vay.
There Was no German firing on
the city during the dav. but We en-
rountered feeble amount OF
,hrapnel i'm the outskirts. Fires
which the enemy started had gutted
choice parts OF the center OF the
city. but these were quickly confined
by the British engineers who
dragged furniture out OF adjacent
buildings and sealed shut doors and
windows as best they could. I'm
doubtedly some mines had been cx-
ploded. for the ruin was complete in
.omc spots.

CHAPTER II.
DisCraced.

At eight o'clock that evening the
Crown Prince Ferdinand William Otto
approached the palace through the
public square. He approached Ii
slowly, for two reasons. First, he did
not want to go back. Second, he was
rather frightened. He had an idea
that they would be disagreeable.
There seemed to be a great deal 60
ing on at the palace. Carriages were
rolling in under the stone archway
and. having discharged their contents,
mostly gentlemen In uniform. were
moving off with a laundering OF hoofs
that reached from the vaulted roof of
the entrance. All the lights were on
in the wing where his grandfather.
the king, lived alone. Az his grand
father hated lights. and went to bed
early, Prince Ferdinand William Otto
was slightly puzzled.
He was very dirty. His august face
was streaked with SCOT. and his au-
gust hands likewise. His small derby
hat was carefully placed on the very
back Of his head at the angle Of the
American boys cap. AS his collar had
scratched his neck, he had. at Bob
by's suggestion. taken 1t Off and
rolled 1t up. He decided, as he waited
in the square, to put 1t on AGAIN.
Miss Braithwaite was very peculiar
about collars.
Came a lull in the line OF carriages.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto took
long breath and started forward.
AS he advanced he stuck his hands
In his pockets and staggered trif1e.
1t was, as nearly as possible, an ex-
act imitation of Bobby Thorpe's walk.
And to keep up his courage, he quoted
that young gentleman's farewell
speech to himself: "What d you
care? They won't eat you. will they?"
Prince Ferdinand William Otto stood
In the shadows and glanced across.
The sentries stood like wooden men.
but something was wrong in the court
yard inside. The guards were all
standing, and there seemed to be q
great many of them. And Just as he
had made up his mind to take the
plunge, so to speak, part Of his own
regiment of cavalry came out from the
court yard with laundering Of hoofs,
wheeled at the street, and clattered
off.
Very unusual, all Of 1t.
The Crown Prince Ferdinand Otto
felt In his pocket for his handkerchief,
and, moistening a corner with his
tongue, wiped his face. Then he wiped
his shoes. Then, with his hands in
his trousers pockets, he sauntered in
to the light.
The two sentries made no sign
when they saw Ferdinand William
Otto approaching. But one of them
forgot to bring his musket to salute.
He crossed himself instead. And
something strained around the other
sentry's lower jaw suddenly relaxed
into a smile as his royal highness
drew a hand from its refuge and sa-
luted. He glanced at one. then at the
other, rather sheepishly, hesitated be-
tween them, clapped his hat on more
securely, and marched in.
1.-THE young rascaln said the sec
ond sentry to himself. And by turn
ing his head slightly-for sentry
learns to see all around like horse,
without twisting his neck-he watched
the runaway into the palace.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto went
up the stone staircase. Here and
there he passed guards who stared and
saluted. Had he not been obsessed
with the vision Of Miss Braithwaite.
he would have known that relief fol-
