the committee wishes, can tell them
Of this matter. Later, he can be In

The leader nodded.
"By chance" said the concierge,
'sthis-this brave veteran"-he glanced
contemporary at the huddled figure
in the chair-'shas come across an old
passage, the one which rumor has said
lay under the city wall, and for which
we have at different times instituted
search"
He paused, to give his words weight.
That they were Of supreme interest
could be told by the craning forward
Of the committee.
"The entrance is concealed at the
base of the old Gate Of the Moon. Our
friend here followed 1t, and reports
1t in good condition. For mile or
thereabouts it follows the line Of the
destroyed wall. Then it turns and
goes to the palace itself"
'Tnto the palace?"

wall, to door in the roof. This door,
which was locked, he opened, having
carried keys with him. The door ne

"Stand up, Adelbert," said the leader
sharply. "This that our comrade tells
is true?"

"Shown a diagram OF cne palace.
could you locate this door?"
old Adelbert stared around him
hopelessly. It was done now. Moth
ing that he could say or refuse to say
would cnange that. He nodded.
When, soon after, a chart OF the
palace was placed on the table, he in
dictated the location Of the door with a
trembling forefnger. sit is there" he
said thickly. "And may God forgive
me for the thing I have done!"

CHAPTER xIv-continued.


The concierge bent closer over the
table. Doctor Weiderman, the kings
physician, is one of u.s. he whispered.
"The king lives now only because OF
stimulants to the heart. His body IS
already dead. When the stimulants
cease, he will die"
Old AdeIbert covered his eyes. He
had gone too far to retreat now.
Driven by brooding and trouble, he had
allied himself with the powers Of dark
ness.
He sat silent while the concierge
cleared the table, and put the dishes
fp a pan for his niece to wash. And
throughout the evening he said little.
AT something before midnight he and
his host were to set out on a grave
matter, nothing less than to visit the
committee of ten, and impart the old
soldiers discovery. In the interval he
sat waiting, and nursing his grievances
to keep them warm.
Black Humbert, waiting for the hour
TO start and filling his tankard repeat
edly, grew loquacious. He limited OF
past matters in which he had proved
his value to the cause. Old Adelbert
gathered that, if he had not actually
murdered the late crown prince and
his wife, he had been closely con-
cerned in it. His thin, old flesh crept
with anxiety. It was bad business,
and he could not withdraw.
"We should have had the child, toe" "
boosted the concierge, "and saved
much bother. But he had been, un-
known to us, sent to the country. A
matter of milk, I believe"
"But you say you do not war on
children %

Old Adelbert was sitting forward un

CHAPTER XIV.
KING Karl.

sThey love us dearlyl'' said King
Karl.
The chancellor, who sat beside him
in the royal carriage, shrugged his
shoulders. "They have had little rea-
son to love, in the past, majesty" he
said briefly.
Karl laughed, and watched the
crowd. He and the chancellor rode
alone, Karl's encourage, a very modest
one, following in another carriage.
There was no military escort, no pomp.
1t had been felt unwise. Karl, paying
ostensibly visit of sympathy. had
come unofficially.
The chancellor was not so calm as
he appeared. He had lined the route
from the station to the palace with his
men; had prepared for every contin-
gency so far as he could without call

He was very shiny with soap and

TEXT OF LANSING NOTE.
GOOD FAITH WOULD DEPEND up
ON HUNS WITHDRAWING FROM
INVADED TERRITORY.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Oct. president Will
son has met Germany's peace note
with move which will at one stroke
develop whether her proposal is sim
cere or merely pretension, and.
pretension it be. fully justify for all
time before the world the prolonging
of the war with force to the uttermost.
force without stint or limit. At the
some time the President has left wide
open the door to peace.
The text of the communication
handed to the charge of Switzerland in
Washington follows:
Sir: / have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the President. your
note of Oct. 6, inclosing the communi-
cation from the German government
to the President, and Gm instructed
by the President to request you to
make the following communication to
the imperial German chancellor:
before making reply 10 the re-
quest of the imperial German govern
ment and In order that that reply shall
be candid and straightforward as the
momentous interests involved require.
the President of the United States
deems 1t necessary to assure himself
OF the expct meaning Of the note o
the imperial chancellor.
Does the imperial chancellor mean
that the imperial German government
accepts the terms laid down by the
President in his address to the Con
gress of the U..ited States on Jan. 3
last and in subsequent addresses. and
that its object in entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application?
"The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion OF an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose cessation OF arms
to the governments with which the
government of the United States Is as
ISOLATED against the central powers,
SO long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith or
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent OF the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded te.-
ritory.
1.-The President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the I'm
perial chancellor Is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities Of the
empire who have SO far conducted tho
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point OF
view.
Accept. sir. the renewed assur'
snces OF my high consideration.
