come to the palace, and M.- obeyed the summons.
 "If I had only my way" he walled piteously to M. who stood determined but respectful in the presence of the king and queen of Greece, "I would defy you all-traitors that you are"
 And what will you be pleased to do with us-your king and queen?" demanded Sophia, who had stood quietly by with a sour expression on her face.
 You will probably decide to travel to some neutral country by way of Italy," answered M. Gravely. To my dying day I shall not forget l the scene that followed. Sophia's face famed up, and her eyes burned l like coals of fire as she turned on her husband. "So this is the end of all your cleverness,' she screamed.
 Napoleon went to St. Helena, his
 enemies at least feared him, while you-you will pose as country squire and I-the sister of the Emperor of Germany-as my lady bountiful to
 handful of uninteresting melodies.
 you ought to have been small shop
 keeper, never a king.
 You will go down in history-un-
 less you are absolutely forgotten as
 the man who could not keep his
 throne"
 Tino and Sophia both begged to be
 allowed to send a message to the Elm
 peror, but the request was firmly re- fused, and with some servants and a few friends they were conducted to the train and taken to Italy.
 Hilda von Stuttgart was in close personal attendance upon the ex-
 queen. I accompanied Tino-perhaps against my own inclinations. I would not have made these revelations but , for the fact that the ex-queen, in, her
 exile, expressed her destation of my $ country, and my countrymen, and : that the ex-King. still plots infamous
 ly against the Greece over which he . once reigned.
 ' The temporary defection of some
 of the Italians was duo largely to ? Tino. These are quotations from let r ter sent to the emperor by special l | messenger, which I wrote from Tino's e dictation:
 -1 Send me some fearless printed 1T = Italian. which can be distributed
 among the Italian troops. I can ar. l. range for their distribution. T Accompanying documents provided r. the most amazing surprise of the l. whole budget. While in Italy, Tine d and his wife were the guests of al
 influential parsonage who had in hi $ possession a detailed statement of tht
 armaments and forces at the disposa t of Italy. The ex-king knew it, an( a ruing the temporary absence of. hi = host secured a copy, and sent this t. d his brother-in- law, the emperor.
 Sophia displayed the ingenuity o l. a woman fiend. She found out wher l. the weakness of the Italians lay, an, s- sent a full account of her discover Ie ies to Berlin.
 i- The letter to which have just re
 ferred concluded with these words le We both look to you for our re d, ward. Our enemies have triumphet to ou will see to it that this is only fo ." a time. When you have won your fl of nal victories your Majesty will mak as it a condition of peace that we ar to again placed on the throne of Greece t. Serbia as a nation must disappear
 and our own personal enemies mus Id be dealt with as we determine. tn The messenger who handed thes es precious communications to the KaiS a. CT himself brought back the answe )s. r The emperor thanked Tino and h
 wife for their help. and conclude re with the following words: I will SC h. that Tino is again the King of Greco is and those who have intrigued again
 you both shall be punished with tE be utmost vigor. Your enemies shall 1 d. taught a lesson that will be impre os, sive and lasting. Bear up as well of you can till the day comes when yC er- can destroy all who have oppose ad your will. Trust me.-Wilhelm. he Tino was in constant communic TO- tion with people who travelled conti in ually between Italy and Switzerlan ere and he became recognized as an age
 of his brother-in-law. Ambitious b mo yond his brain power, he has drea er- of confederation of the Balkan state ell over which he is to preside with t So- rule of an autocrat.
 I have been to Berlin since I qu ", ted Greece. The chief object of I ms visit was, as instructed, to secure ce nancial assistance from Germany. T UT message the emperor gave me is WI

 It up that I cannot devote any part test it to their interests. They must c uf- dure as best they can until I conn ted Greece to pay them what she ow ard with interest.
 the Tino was like one in despair; was phia raved like a woman bereft like her senses, always laying the blal 'ted on her husband. The couple are arc
