two signatures Affixed. the one small
and cramped--a soldiers hand; the
other bold and fowing--the scrawl of
a king. And Hedwlg, save for the cere-
mony, was the bride of Karl Of kar-
MIA.
1t was then that the chancellor rose
and stretched his legs. "And now,
sire" he said, "since we are friends
and no longer enemies, you will, l
know, release that mad boy Of mine"
"When do you start back?'
"Within an hour"
"Before that time." said Karl, "you
shall have him, chancellor"
And with that Mettllch was forced
to be content. He trusted Karl no
more now than he ever had. But he
made his adieus with no hint Of trou-
BILE in his face.
Karl stood for moment In the open
air. It was done, then, and well done.
1t was hard to realize. He turned to
the west, where for so long behind the
mountains had lurked an enemy. A
new era was opening; peace, disarma-
ment, a quiet and prosperous land. He
had spent his years Of war and women.
That was over.
When he returned to the study the
agent Kaiser was already there. But
Kari, big with plans for the future,
would have been alone, and eyed the
agent with dlsfavor.
"Well2" he demanded.
1--WE have been able to search the
chancellor,s rooms, SIRE" the agent
said, 'for the articles mentioned last
hight-a card case, gloves, and silk
handkerchief, belonging to the pris-
oner upstairs. He Is Captain Larisch,
aide-de-camp to the crown prince of
Livonia."
He had expected Kari to DO I'm
pressed. But Karl only looked at him.

II know that" he said coldly. You
pre always just III; e ate with your
information, Kaiser"
Something Ike malice showed In the
agents face. "Then you also know,
sire. that It is this Captain Larisch
with whom rumor couples the name OF
he Princess Hedwig." He stepped back
u pace or two at sight OF karrs face.
eY gu requested such information, sire"
For answer, Karl pointed to the door.
For some time after he had dis
missed the agent. Karl paced his
library alone. Kaiser brought no un-
verified information. Therefore the
thing was true. Therefore he had had
his enemy in his hand. and now was
pledged to let him go. For time,
then, Karl paid the penalty Of many
mlsdeeds. His triumph was ashes In
his mouth. -

revealed the remarkable tact which
our enemy displayed in his associa.
tiOns at sea, which no doubt resulted
advantageOusly for him. AS he ex-
pressed it, he 'made a hit" one evening
when the crowd has assembled for a
little music by suggesting that they
sing God Save the King" Thereafter
his popularity was assured and the de-
sired effect accomplished, for very
soon Il French officer came up to him
and said. ITS too bad that England
and ourselves haven't men In our army
like YOU" 1t was too bad, he agreed,
In telling me about it, because he a
confident he could have done a whole
lot more for Germany If he had been
in the English army. In spite of his
apparent loyalty. however, the man
didn't seem very enthusiastic over the
war and frankly admitted one day that
the old political battles waged in Cali
fOrnia were much more to his liking
than the battles he had gone through
over here. On second thought he
laughed as though 1t were a good Joke,
but he evidently intended me tt infer
that he had taken a keen interest In
politics in San Francisco.

NEED NOT SEEK POPULARITY

viii Never Be Loved.

There Is not much mystery, or even
any at all, In the dislike Of experts"
that is felt and expressed by not a few.
The expert man is a man who goes to
other men and tells them that the
way in which they are doing their work
is not the best way-that 1t is a bad.
costly, or even stupid way-and that If
they will only listen to him and follow
his advice their work will be improved
and their efficiency increased.
None Of us takes pleasure In hear
ing talk Of that sort. and the displeas-
ure is greater in exact proportion with
length Of the hearers training and ex-
perience in conducting his business,
trade, or art. All that the expert says
carries the implication Of adverse criti-
cism directed against the recipient Of
his suggestions. and usually 1t is criti-
cism of that recipients father and
grandfather. OF course that is re-
scented, and the resentment Is bitterest
when the expert goes ahead and gives
undeniable proof that his new way
of doing things is better than the old
ways which have long been productive
of honor and profit.
The expert, too. is always open to
the convenient charge that he Is not
''practical"-that he Is a man Of the
cries and fads. Sometimes the charge
is true-but only Of the expert who

(TO BE
NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With Subtlety, but
Was Satisfied That II Would Be
Thoroughly Complete.

When Alexandra Dumas, the French
novelist, was a young man. he was
grievously lnsulted by a man whom he
had regarded as his friend.
Everyone expected him to punish the
offender severely, but instead he began
looking upon him with more consider
alton and apparent friendliness than
he had ever shown before.
At length. three years later, when
the erstwhile friend was to be married,
the novelist was asked to serve as best
man, and did so. When the ceremony
was over and the guests were leaving
someone remarked to Dumas: II have
often wondered at your kindness to

insulted you grossly. you have assidu.

It,"
After that this German officer and
I became rather chummy; that is. as
far as l could be chummy with an
enemy, and we whiled away q good
many long hours talking about the
days we had spent In San Francisco.
and frequently In the conversation n
Of us would mention some prominent
Californian. or some little incident Oc-
curing there, with which we were
both familiar.
He told me when war was declared
he was, of course, intensely patriotic
and thought the only thing for him to
do was to go back and aid In the de-
Tense Of his country. He found that
he could not 60 directly from San
Francisco, because the water was too
well guarded by the English, so he
boarded q boat for South America.
There he obtained a forged passport
and in the gulse Of a Montevidean took
passage for New York and from there
to England.
He passed through England without
any difficulty on his forged passport,
but concluded not to risk going to HOl-
land for fear Of exciting too much sus-
piciOn, so went down through the
Strait of Gibraltar to italy, which was
neutral at that time, up to Austria,
and thence to Germany. File said when
they put in at Gibraltar. utter leaving
England. there were two suspects
taken Off the ship, men that he was
sure were neutral subjects, but much
to his relief his own passport and Gre
dentials were examined and passed

The Hun spoke Of his voyage from
America to England as being excep-
tionelly pleasant, and said he had a
fine time, because he associated with
the English passengers on board, his
fluent English readily admitting him
to several spirited arguments on the
subject Of the war, which he keenly
enjoyed. One little incident he related

formed primarily to prevent delays,
financial loss and uncertainty incident
to the method Of taking up each high.
way problem in Its turn with a sep

This council was constituted at the
suggestion of the secretary Of agricul-

continue the close contact already es-
tablished, both formally by law and in
formally by practice, with the state
