Continued from Saturday,
But it was passive, quiescent, ana
trembling Hedwig who submitted, and
then. freeing herself, went out through
the door into the lights of the corridor.
Milky flung himself, face down, on
shrouded couch and lay there, his face
buried in his arms.
Olga Loschek's last hope was gone.
On the day Of the carnival, which
was the last day before the beginning
cf Lent, Prince Ferdinand William
otto wakened early. The palace still
slept, and only the street sweepers
We're about the streets. Prince Ferdi-
nand William Otto sat up in bed and
yawned. This was special day, he
knew. but at first he was too drowsy
TO remember.
Then he knew--the carnivall A de-
I lightful day. with the place full of peo-
pie in strange costumes--peasants,
! imps, testers, who cut capers on the
grass in the park, little girls in pro-
cession, wearing costumes of fairies
with gauze wings, students who par
AIDED and blew noisy horns, even horses
decorated. and now and then dog
dressed as a dancer or soldier.
/ He yawned again, and began to feel
( hungry. He decided to get up and take
4 his own bath. There was nothing like
getting a good start for gala day.

decide was to do, which is not always
royal trait, he took his own bath,
being very particular about his ears,
and not at all particular about the rest
Of him. Then, no Oskar having yet
appeared with fresh garments. he
/ ducked back into bed again, quite bare
as to his small body, and snuggled
down in the sheets.
Lying there, he planned the day.
There were to be no lessons except
fencing, which could hardly be called
a lesson at all, and as he now knew
the Gettysburg address" he meant to
ask permission to recite it to his
grandfather. To be quite sure of ii,
he repeated it to himself as he lay
there:

new nation. conceived In liberty. and dedi-

created equal
