CHAPTER XVI.
Milky and HedWiq.

Milky had gone back to his lodging,
where his servant was packing his
things. For Milky was now of his
majesty's household. and must ex-
change his shabby old rooms for the
cold magnificence of the palace.
He was very downhearted. To the
crown prince, each day, he gave the
best that was In him, played and rode,
invented delightful nonsense to bring
the boys quick laughter, carried
pocketfuls of bones, to the secret re-
volt of his soldierly soul, was boyish
and tender, frivolous or thoughtful, as
the occasion seemed to warrant.
And always he was watchful, his re-
volver always ready and In touch, his
eyes keen, his body, even when 1t
seemed most relaxed, always tense to
spring. For Milky knew the temper
Of the people, knew II as did Mathilde
gossiping in the market, and even bet
ter knew that crisis was approach
ing, and that on this small boy In his
charge hung that crisis.
So Milky trusted in his own right
arm and in nothing else. The very
size of the palace, its unused rooms,
its long and rambling Corridors, its
rambling wings and ancient turrets,
was against its safety.
Since the demonstration against
Karl, the riding school hour had been
given up. There were no drives in the
park. The illness Of the king furnished
SUFFICIENT excuse, but the truth was
that the royal family was practically
besieged, by 1t knew not what.
Milky, summoned to the chancellor's
house that morning, had been told the
facts, and had stood, rnther still and
tense, while Mettlich recounted them.
"Our very precautions are our dan
ger" said the chancellor. "And the
king" He stopped and sat, tapping
his fingers on the arm Of his chair.
"And the king, sir?"
"AlmOst at the end. A day or two"
Karl, with Hedwig in his thoughts,
had returned to mobilize his army not
far from the border for the spring
maneuvers, and at meeting of the
kings council the matter of a mobiliza-
ton in Livonia was seriously consid-
cred.
Fat Friese favored it, and made an
impassioned speech, with sweat thick
on his heavy face.

Of this council is to preserve the throne
for the crown prince, at any cost. And,
If we cannot trust the army, in what
can we trustT
'In God" said the chancellor grim
ly.
In the end nothing was done. Mobil-
ization might precipitate the crisis and
there was always the fear that the
army, in parts, was itself disloyal.
The king, meanwhile lay dying, Doc
tor Weiderman In constant attendance,
other physicians coming and going.
His apartments were silent. Rugs
covered the corridors, that no football
disturb his quiet hours. The nursing
sisters attended him, one by his bed
side. one always on her knees at the
priedieu in the small room beyond. He
wanted little-now and then sip of
water, the cooled juice of fruit. In
jections of stimulants, given by Doctor
Weiderman himself, had Scared his
old arms with purplish marks, and
were absorbed more and more slowly
as the hours went on.
He rarely slept, but lay inert and not
unhappy. Annunciata came. and was

"FLU" FRIGHTENED

From the Dalton Citizen!
The influenza, or la grippe which
ever you perfer to call it, has thrown
a scare into the American people
from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The fact
thar it has has increased the death
rate, because fear and worry are val
liable aids to the ravages of any di
eease.
If some INSPIRED idiot" with apo.
logies to the Macon Telegraph, had
not resurrected the old-time name of
influenza, prefixing it with a Turin
title, we would not today see the
whole nation recoiling in fear from
disease that is prevalent in some
from every year.
To be sure, it is worse than usual
this being resultant, no doubt from
the fact that in the army canton
ments tens of thousands of soldiers
have been modified from all over the
country Theyhave come from differ
ent climates, and in changing modes
of living and habits of life colds were
acquired, and these not being con
sidered serious enough to warrant
medical attention were allowed to
develop and progress. This being
true, the natural consequences are
being reaped.
While conditions are more or less
alarming, or have been in some sec
tions, there is no reason for every
body. all at once, to lose their heads,
If so then we may expect the worst
Our advice if it were sought would
be to forget it, and move full speed
ahead.
Some of the rumors about the affic-
ton are gruesome enough to bring on
an epidemic of anything from the old
fashioned collie to the bubonic plague
First. there was the report that three
physicians at Fort Oglethorpe had
been shot at sunrise for injecting in
fluenza germs into the arms of the
soldiers. Next it was circulated that
the Chattanooga undertaking estab-
lishments were running over with
corpses and that traffic was abandon
ed in order to give over the streets

he has part and can help in the
great world struggle.
Secretary Franklin X. Lane through
the Bureau of Education has put in
operation practical plan for the
mobilization OF the school children
of the country for garden work. The
responsibility for bringing this OPP
portunity within reach of the children
rests very largely upon the women.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs through its Department of the
Conservation of National Resources
is urging its membership of two mil
lion women to aid in the work for
school gardens The citizens OF a
community who do not make 1t pos
sible for the school superintendent
principals, and teachers to conduct
school gardens, according to the plan
of the United States School Garden
Army, are not awake to their full
duty. Collective support and indivi-
dual service must begiven and pub
lie interest aroused. We must vision
the possibilities and keel in mind
that the aim of the United States
School Garden Army is to nationize,
unity and to greatly extend the work
now being carried on by the school
children of America.
1T is one of the anomalise of life
that good often comes out of evil.
AS this war is the most destructive
in all history so are the potentlali-
ties for good beyond estimation.
This opportunity for garden work by

is three-fold. The material help in
the production of food, the sense that
it will give each child that he is do,
ing his part in winning the war and
of greater importance than either of
these, is the benefit to the child from
an educational viewpoint. The OPP
portunity is so full of possibilities
that unless we utilize it to the full
the gardening will fall short in the
highest sense, notwithstanding salts
factory patriotic and economic re-
suits.
"In the gordon the mysteries of ma
ture are unfolded Under sympathetic
guidance the child's imagination is
stilated and his powers of observa-
ton are developed. Trees, flowers,
waving grain field bird, mountain and
valley will come in time to have their
full meaning to the boys and girls
who are laugh to see natures lesson
in their first garden.

AS TO PEANUTS
rom the Dawson News:

From the Dawson News:
1t is condition and not the value of
the product itself that is just now
fecting the market for peanuts; and
the state bureau of markets urges
Georgia producers not to rush their
crop to market to the sacrifices of
price. Because they are just now over
crowded with cotton seed many OF
the oil mills are independent as to
peanuts, and are offering prices
which the bureau believes is very
much below their value.
Attention is called to the fact that
peanuts are just as acceptable to the
federal reserve bank as collatera
as is cotton. 1t is not even necessary
that they should be stored in a bond
ed warehouse, as advances may be
OBTAINED upon them on a receipt

LITTLE CHILDREN

Kindergardarten methods, whether
begun by the mother in her own
home, as should be the case in the
home Of the right kind. or by the
trained teacher in school, are of in
estimable value to the child, for cha.
racter building is always made their
principal aim and object.
Perhaps mothers may not have
been trained in kindergarten met
hods, but at least they can learn how
to tell story. Anyone can read a
story but telling one is much more
effective and much more enjoyable
TO the child. Every mother should
learn how to tell story Use your
words and choose simple and force
full ones. A bare plot is interesting
to the tiny child but many details
should be supplied for the older boy
and girl: they love them Use direct
discourse when possible. Be enthu
siastic. Be dramatic. After the tory
is finished talk it over freely with
the children Choose some stories
which teach kindness to animals or
good habits, but never point the NOR
al. Let the story bear its own mes
sage.
A taste for the best literature ie
often formed in early childhood
through a wise choice of storieE
This is true music The songs and
music used in the kindergarten are
always carefully selected by the
Kindergarten, and should be just as
carefully selected for the home by
mothers. Allow your children to hear
only the best. There is plenty OF
of good simple music now published
simple enough for children to enjoy
and good enough to lead into love
of true music
Besides story telling and music
there are also pictures. Those which
interest the child most show action
and movement Pictures are imagi-
nation and arouse creative faculties
Care should be taken as to subject
matter of the pictures. They are
teachers and comrades when rightly
understood.

Will be followed first by the collapse OF
Austria and Turkey.
With an allied army rapidly press
ing toward the southern border Of Aus
trla-Hungary, the Danube will soon be
reached, and Franchet dEsperey's
forces will advance through Rumania
10 the Black Sea, thus cutting of Tur-
key completely from her allies.

than surrender to save his, capital.

: is matter OF only a few days. Once
the allies are on Austrian soil. Emperor
Carl will throw Emperor Wilhelm over
board and do his best TO placate his
enemies.
Still another peace "offer" may be
expected before Austria is ready to sur
render. The Huns will exhaust every
possibility Of securing a peace by ne
gotialion before they give up.
Bulian probably will--turn his next
peace offensive against Italy by offering
10 give up Is.ria and the Trentno. But
the allies will not be caught mapping.
When Austria finds that her efforts
are in vain, she will surrender rather
than ilglt a great allied army on her
oNn soil without German REINFORCE
nests.
From Berlin. also, we may expect
several more ADJ GnCes before the ulti-
mate and Inevitable crash. The Kaiser
realizes he is beaten, but his recent
speech TO his army, and Prince Max's
bombastic address TO the Reichstag, in
dictate the Huns have not yet given up
hope Of bargaining for some OF the ter
ritOry they have occupied.
But Austrla's collapse will spell the
beginning OF the end, for the Germans
cannot continue the war with an allied
army in control Of the dual monarchy.
That collapse Is expected before the
first Of the new year. It depends on the
speed with which the entente makes
clear 70 the Huns its determination not
10 accept any peace other than one
based on an unconditional surrender.
