Is it not brave and gallant robe, gen
tlemen?
(All look intently at the hand of the
tailor. There is a long silence, in
which many sly glances are cast from
one to another to ascertain if it is
possible that somebody else sees this
thing which is invisible to him. The
King looks slowly to the right and
slowly to the left to scan the faces of
his subjects, and then he gazes straight
at the Tailor in high perplexity. OF a
sudden the Leading Republican pulls
himself together and speaks in an as
sured and certain tone.)
The Leading Republican-It is a
magnificent robe. 1t is a robe for a
King. 1t is SO fine robe that no
king should wear it but our beloved

equally among my friends of the op-

can't be sure of everybody in a big
crowd. There'll be fishwives, you know,

you do, but I don't go to excess.

The Tailor-Don't say that, your mai

Think of that. You mustn't tap in
front of you, like blind man with
stick. You mustn't fear to bump your
head. If you hold it high, you know,
there'd be nothing to fear but the stars.
The King-You are eloquent, oh
stranger from far country, and what
do you mean?
The Tailor-Only this: if you wear
my robe you must cast off compromise
and expediency.
The King-Oh, that's all right. I
was only thinking about trousers.
The Tailor-They were a compromise
of Adams, your majesty.
The King-Quite true, but hope you
wouldn't go SO far as to object to es-
sentials. It's mesh stuff, you know,
and very thin. Practically nothing at
all. Just one piece. Somehow or other
don't believe I'd feel easy without it.
Sort of a habit with me.
The Tailor-If you wear my robe you
must put aside every other garment.
The King-But this is December.
The Tailor-Your majesty, the man
who wears this cloth will never fear
cold.
The Leading Democratic seems to
me that the only question is, Does his
majesty trust the people fully and
completely?
The King-Of course l trust the peo-
pie.
The Leading Democrat-Then whv

them in this magnificent new robe? Is
there any reason to believe that they

All-Goodby, Mr.. Tailor!


The Tailor moves to great window
at the back of the stage and opens it.
He leans out. He bows low to some
one who is passing by underneath.
The rattle of wagons may be heard dis
tlnctly, and the rumble of cars, with
occasionally the honk of an automo-
bile horn. Suddenly there is a noise
much louder and shriller than any Of
these. 1t is the voice of child, and it
cries: HE hasn't got anything on!"
Voice after voice takes up the shout.
Seemingly thousands of people are
shouting, "He hasn't got anything on!"
Finally the shouting loses all conference;
it is just great, ugly, angry noise. A
shot breaks the glass of the window
just above the Tailor's head. Quickly he
protects himself from further attack
in that direction by swinging two iron
shutters together and fastening them.
Then he locks the great door through
which the King and the Courtiers have
just passed.

Then he returns to the bag and seems
to pull out something. He looks to
the ceiling and finds hook fairly in
the middle of it. He moves his hand
upward as if tossing something, and
goes through the motions of tying a
knot around his neck. Then the Tailor
takes a chair and moves it to the CEN
tire of the room. He stands upon it.
The violent assault upon the door be-
gins with renewed vigor. Some of the
axes bite through the wood. The Tailor
steps off the chair and bangles in the
air. He floats in space, like man in
magic trick, but one or two in the
audience, dramatic critics, perhaps, or
scullery maids, may see that round his
neck and fastened to the hook in the
ceiling is yellow rope.)

Yer from the z25-foot level and a car
load shipped to the smelter the latter
part of February returned $1,000 to the
operators. Another car is now ready
for transportation and assayers say
that it will give even better values.
Poor roads have held the shipments
back somewhat. However, this con-
dition will be remedied as soon as the
Milwaukee railroad puts in the tracks
to the mine. 1t is thought that the
work of laying the steel will commence
soon as the road bed is now ready
within a half mile of the property.
Much Development Work.
Much development work and a large
amount of money was necessary dur
ing the two years that the present
owners have been in charge. A large
bunk house. cook house and dining
room have just been completed. The
company owns and operates it's own
sawmill and it is estimated that there
are at present IL million feet of stand
ing timber on the claims.
The development work under the
ground is going on very rapidly. A
225-foot, well timbered working shaft
is completed and the main tunnel is in
100 feet. In the south drift a winze
was started few days ago and un-
covered vein IA inches wide carrying
the best values that have been en-
countered so far.
The equipment at present consists of
a 600-foot capacity hoist, 2-drill air
