Again the group laughed.
After a time he grasped the truth.
There was such an order. The cause
given as the kings illness.
"Since when," demanded old Abel.
bert angrily. "has the sound Of his
soldiers marching disturbed the king7"
"The sound of wooden legs annoys
him." observed the mocking student,
lighting a cigarette. HE would hear
only pleasant sounds, such as the noise
Of tax money pouring into his vaults.
Mel can think of q pleasanter: the
tolllng Of the cathedral bell, at a GER
tain time, will be music to my ears"
Old Adelbert stood, staring ahead.
At last he went out into the street,
muttering. 'They shame US before the
people," he said quickly.
The order of the council had indeed
been issued, a painful business over
which Mettllch and the council had
pondered long. For. in the state Of
things, 1t was deemed unwise to per-
nit any gathering Of the populace en-
masse. Mobs lead to riots, and riots
again to mobs. Five thousand armed
men, veterans, but many Of them In
their prime, yer in themselves q
danger. And on these days of ami
versary 1t had been the custom of the
university to march also, q guard Of
honor. Sedition was rife among the
students.
The order was finally issued.
Old Adelbert was Ill that night. He
tossed about in a fever. His body
ached, eve the leg which so long ago
had moldered In It's shallow grave on
a battlefield. For these things happen.
BY morning he was better, but he was
a different man. His eyes glowed. His
body twitched. He was stronger, too,
for now he broke his sword across his
knee, and flung the pieces out Of the
window. And with them went the last
fragment Of his old loyalty to his king.
Old Adelbert was now, potentially. a
traitor.
On the morning after Adelbert had
turned his back on his king. Bobby
Thorpe rose early, so early. indeed,
that even Pepy still slept in her mar
row bed, and the milk sellers had not
started on their rounds. The early
was a mistake, owing to a watch
which had strangely gained an hour.
Somewhat disconsolately, he wan
dered about. Heavy quiet reigned.
From a window he watched the meat
seller hang out q freshly killed deer,

ties ahead. old Adelbert would not
have gone on. And, had he turned
back then, the history of a certain
kingdom Of Europe would have been
changed. Maps, too, and school books,
and the life story Of a small prince.
But he went on. Stronger than his
young guide. he did not crawl, but
bent aside the stiff and ungainly
branches Of the frs. He battled with
the thicket, and came out victorious.
He was not so old, then. or so feeble.
His arm would have been strong for

1t was not entirely dark. A bit Of
light entered from the aperture ut the
head Of the steps. by 1t, aver before
Bobby had lighted his candle, he saw
the broken chair, the piece Of old car

184041 and 187S-79. The dangerous nature
Of the country's topography was also dis
covered at this time. Afghanistan has an
area of 100000 square miles, inside which
both Germany and Bulgaria could easily be
placed. The population is 100000, or as
large that of Holland. The Aimaks
Ghilzais, Hazars, Kafirs, Pathans, Tojiks and
the Uzbegs the principal races of tha
population.
"Afghanistan has no outlet to the sea
and hence navy But the paramount
factor in its life is its state of military pre-
paredness. Out Of political and military
chaos a new Afghanistan has been created
by the supreme genius Of Abdur Rahman
the late father of the present Amir. He
fought his way to the throne of Afghan
istan, and Immediately after his recognition
set himself to reorganizing the scattered
forces of the army. He introduced sys-
tenn of compulsory military training by
which one man in every seven between the
ages of eighteen and twenty had to take
military training. Thus he planned IN
course of time to train every man in mill
tary science. .

The Sim Fein Anthem

7 RELAND'S new (Sinn Fein) national
l anthem was written few years ago
by Dublin carpenter, Peadar o Gear
naigh. With the spread of Sim Fem
since 1916 "A Soldiers Song has al
most displaced T. D. Sullivan's God
Save Ireland" After the Irish National
Volunteers split in September, 1914, the
Sim Fem section adopted the ballad as a
rallying song, and it was used at their
miniature training camps and on route
marches. Now it is raised in every Ma
tionalist street demonstration, and,
though the supporters Of Mr. Dillon
have hitherto shown preference for The
traditional national anthem by Thomas
Davis, it is noted that the Sim Fem wU
song has been sung at most of the anal
gamated meetings held during the les!
few weeks
The anthem expresses the aggressive
nationalism Of Sim Fem, as in the bal.
lads of the Fenian days. Here is an ex.
tract:
Sons Of the Gael, men of the Pale,
The Congratulated day is breaking.
The serraed hosts of Innisfou

A Big Tuna Cannery in
Hawaii

HALF million dollars is to be ex-
i l. pended in the construction of a
large tuna cannery on the island of
Maui, in the Hawaiian group. The
waters around the islands swarm with
fish of every description, among which
the tuna is predominant and attains an
enormous size. The operation of this
plant will be a valuable addition to the
food supply of the United States and
may lead to the establishment of an i'm
