"And you have nothing to Say?"
"Highness," Milky began huskily,

that l cannot. To take advantage of
Ottos fancy for me. child's liking, to
violate the confidence of those who
placed me here-I am doing that, every
moment"
"What about me?" Hedwig asked.
"Do l count for nothing? Does it not
matter at all how l feel, whether l am
happy or wretched? Isn't that as i'm
portant as hOnOr?
Milky flung out his hands. "You

subject may adore his princess, but
as a man loves woman"
She drew herself up. 'Love" she
said. 81 do not call that love-"
"It is greater love than you know"
said poor Milky. But all his courage

"And you are like the Others. No one

Then indeed Milky was lost. In an
instant he was on his knees beside
her. his arms close about her, his head
bowed against her breast. And He'd

last he turned and looked up at her,
it was Hedwig who bent and kissed
him.

But Milky was of very human stuff,
and not the sort that may live by
memories. He was very haggard

his mouth was doggedly set. II will

Brave words, of course. But as he

CHAPTER XII.
Milky Makes a Promise.

The chancellor lived alone, in his
little house near the palace, house
that looked strangely like him, over.
hanging eyebrows and all, with win
dows that were like his eyes, clear
and concealing many secrets. A grim,
gray little old house, which concealed
behind it walled garden full Of un-
like the chancellor.
Mathilde kept his house for him,
mended and pressed his uniforms,
washed and starched his linen,
quarreled with the orderly who at
tended him, and drove him to bed at
night.
Mathilde was in touch with the peo-
pie. 1t was Mathilde, and not one of
his agents, who had brought word of
the approaching revolt of the copper
smiths guild, and enabled him to check
it almost before it began. A stole, this
Mathilde, with her tall, spare figure
and glowing eyes, stole and patriot.
Once every month she burned four
candles before the shrine Of Our Lady
of Sorrows in the cathedral, because
of four sons she had given to her coun-
try.
On the evening of the day Hedwig
had made her futile appeal to the king,
the chancellor sat alone. His dinner,
almost untasted, lay at his elbow. 1t
was nine o'clock. At something after
seven he had paid his evening visit to
the king, and had found him uneasy
and restless.

"Steadying, sire?"

Rather stormy one, poor child" He
turned and fixed on his chancellor his
faded eyes. "You still think it Is the
best thing?"
"It is the only thing"
"But all this haste" put in the king
ENORMOUSLY. as that so necessary?
Hedwig begs for time. She hardly
knows the man."
"Timel But / thought" He hesi-

have?
another thing. She was incoherent,
but I gathered that there was some one
else. The whole interview was cy-
clonic. 1t seems, however, that this
young protege of yours, Larisch, has
been making love to her over Otto's
head"
Mettlich's face hardened, a gradual
process, as the news penetrated in all
it's significance.
"a boy and girl affair, sire. He is
loyal. And in all Of this, you and / are
reckoning without Karl. The princess
hardly knows him, and naturally she
is terrified. But his approaching visit

figure of man, and women"
Exactly" said the king dryly.
What the chancellor meant was that
women always had loved Kar, ard the
king understood.

proud and seornful. But she was not
easy, for all that, and she watched
from her balcony to see if any messen-
ger left the castle and descended the
mountain road. She was rewarded, an
hour later, by seeing figure leave the
old gateway and start afoot toward the
village, a pale faced man with color
less hair. A part of the hidden guard
that surrounded her, she knew, and
somehow familiar. But, although she
racked her brains, she could not re-
member where she had seen him.
That day, toward evening, the huge
man presented himself. He brought no

$4,000 Are Needed Now

The $4,000 men now called, it is under
stood, are needed at once to fill up divi-
sions and other units scheduled for early
departure or to take the place Of men
transferred to other divisions to make up
such deficiencies. Newly organized re-
gular divisions are particularly short of
men and heavy draft on national army
divisions to make these good have been
necessary, seriously interfering with the
training work Of the national army divi-
sions drawn upon.
The call for new men makes it probable
that no futher transfers will be necessary.
The 100000 men to be summoned this
year represent the number necessary to
fill up all existing divisions, to create all
the army corps and field army troops
to fill out the war machine for which
the framework already exists and to pro-
vide quarter of a million replacement
troops. When they have been modified,
which will not be complete before the
first of neNt year, there Will be more than
forty full infantry divisions OF 277C0
men each and all the additional divisions
OF the national army or national guards
will be created this year. although the
Program for the regular army, now com
posel Of eight infantry and one cavalry
division, may be enlarged.
The first purpose Of the war depart
ment is to completed the first field army
in France Probably this will be com
posed Of five army corps Of six infantry
divisions each. It has been estimated
that with that force and its necessary
au.iIjaries at his disposal, General Per-
shin4 would be abe to hold q 1OG-mir
sector o. tie battle ront, relieving the
strain upon French man power during
1918 to that extent
