"He has promised not to leave

Olga Loschek had been incredulous
ut first. II was not possible. Men In
love did not do these things. 1t was
not possible, that, after all. she had
failed. When she realized IL, she
would have broken out In bitter pro-
test, but Hedwig's face warned her.
"He Is right. OF course" Hedwig had
said. "You and were wrong, count
ess. There is nothing to door say"
And the countess had taken her de-
feat quietly. with burning eyes and
throat dry with excitement.
The plot was arranged, to the small
est detail. The king, living now only
so long as 1t was decrecd he should
live. would, in mid afternoon. com

would be gathered in anterooms and
salons near his apartments. In his
rooms the crown prince would be kept
awaiting the summons to the throne
room, where. on the kings death, the
regency would be declared, and the
court would swear fealty 20 the new
king. Otto the Ninth. BY arrangement

about her.
Then, because she dared not give
him time to think, she made her plea
rapid, glrlish, rather incoherent, but
understandable enough. They would go
away together and be married. She
had 1t un planned and some OF II ar
ranged. And then they would hide
somewhere, and-"and always be to-

anxiety.

said he would do anything to keep her

But II he had stopped thinking before,
he was thinking hard enough then.

tear-stained face. "It Is early. II we

Hedwig listened. growing cold and

she did not look up.

There was something Of reproach In

that they could all live on forever In
the palace. But. the way things were

it was possible to safely do SO.
But that day is past. Beginning
the 18th of September all papers and

the consumption of print paper.
The weekly newspaper is hit the

Lies that it is of the greatest benefit

nevertheless. all weekly papers will be
required to reduce the consumption of
print paper Is per cent on the basis of
the amount used in the corresponding
month one year ago. This can be done
in two ways, either by reducing the
size of the paper or the number of
papers published. No oenterprising news
paper man wants to give his readers
anything but the best, and we feel that
we cannot reduce the size of The Star
and do this.
This means that after September Is
The Star will have to be content to
issue eighty papers less than we are
now mailing out each week. How
to do this we have not as yet figured
out, for with our system of sending out
statements each month to readers
whose paper is about to expire, and
with the vigorous pay-in-ad advance sys-
tenn which We inaugurated the first of
January, 1918, we have few in arrears
to drop. However. we have been
liberal in furnishing copies to adver-
tisers. and in our exchange list, which
we can trim down and thus save
number of papers.
But we have been sending The Star

are in the training camps in the United

and we dislike very much to cut these
off our list, but we will have to
do it.
We have plan, however, whereby
each of these boys can have The Star
each week II, you will help work the
plan. After you have read your Star
place it in a wrapper that has been
addressed to one of the boys. put
cent stamp on it and drop it in the
postoffice. (You can buy the wrappers
stamped at the postoffice.)
1t will only cost you cent week and
while doing it just remember what the
boys are doing for you in return. When
you have decided to do this faithfully
each week give US your name and the
name of the soldier you are sending
your paper to and we will publish them
in The Star so that no soldier will re-
ceive two papers. Chris Wilkerson is
sending his Star to his son, Carl, who
is in France, and Dave Giorgetta is
sending his to his son, Dave, who is in
a training camp.
Our plans for meeting this new con-
dition will complete by next week when
we will place them before our readers
in a more definite shape.
