pitating soul being at that moment
hurled and twisted and joyously
thrilled. az per the Meutenant's descrip-
tion.
Now 1t II q strange thing. but true,
that one does not reach the land Of
desire alone; because the half of
pleasure u the sharing Of 1t with some
one else. and the land Of desire. alone,
is not the land Of desire at all. Quite
suddenly, Prince Ferdinand William
Otto discovered that he was lonely. At
that moment there was soft whirring
of to one side Of him, and Q yellow
bird, rising and falling erratically on
the breeze. careened suddenly and fell
at his feet.
Prince Ferdinand william Otto bent
down and picked 1t up. It was a small
toy aeroplane. with yellow silk planes.

then they were OF, up an endless, click
ing roadway. where at the top the car
hung for a breathless second over the
gulf below; then, fairly launched. out
on trestle, with the city far beneath
them, and only the red. white, and blue
lights for company; and into tunnel,
filled with roaring noises and swift
moving shadows. Then came the end
Of all things-a flying leap down. a
heart-breaking. delirious thrill. an up
ward sweep just as the strain was too
great for endurance.
Above the roaring Of the wind in
their ears, neither child had heard the
flying feet Of a dozen horses coming
down the alice. They never knew that
a hatless young lieutenant. white
Tipped with fear, had checked his
horse to its launches at the ticket
booth, and demanded to know who was
tn the land Of desire.
"Only the son Of the manager. and
q boy friend Of his" replied Billy
Grimm. In what he called the lingo Of
the country. "What's wrongf Lost

was OF In a despairing search Of the
outskirts Of the park. followed BY his
cavalrymen.
As the last horse leaped the hedge
and disappeared. the car came to a
stop at the platform. Quivering.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto reached
down for the despised hat.
"Would you like to 60 around
again1" asked Bobby. quite casually.
His highness gasped with JOY. III
III you would be SO kindi" he said.
And at the lordly wave Of Bobby's
hand, the car moved on.

lowed in his wake. Messengers clat-
tered down the staircase to the court
yard. Other messengers, breathless
and eager. few to that lighted wing
where the council sat. and where the
old king. propped up In bed, waited
and fought terror.
His eyes, weary with many years of
ruling. of disappointments and bitter
ness. roved the room. They came to
rest at last on the photograph Of q
young man, which stood on his bed
side table.
He was very young man. In a uni
form. He was boyish. and smiling.
There was a dog beside him. and its
head was on his knee. Wherever one
stood in the room. the eyes Of the
photograph gazed at one. The king
knew this, and because he was quite
old. and because there were few peo-
pie to whom a king dares to speak his
inmost thoughts. he frequently spoke
to the photograph. The older he
grew, the more he felt, sometimes, as
though 1t knew what he said.
"If they've got him." he said now
to the picture. 'it is out Of my hands,
and into yours. my boy"
Much Of his life had been spent in
waiting, In waiting for q son, in wait
ing for that son to grow to be man.
In waiting while that son in his turn
loved and married and begot a man
child. In waiting. when that son had
died a violent death, for the time when
his tired hands could relinQuish the
scepter to his grandchild.
Quite suddenly the door opened.
The old man turned his head. Just
inside stood very dirty small boy.
The Crown Prince Ferdinand Will
liam Otto was most terribly fright
ened. Everything was at skies and
sevens. Miss Braithwaite had been
crying her head OF, and on seeing him
had fallen in q faint. Not that he
thought 1t was a real faint. He had
unmistakably seen her eyelIds Quiver.
And when she came to she had or

bed at seven O'Clock instead Of seven

ing, too. And then she had sent him
to his grandfather, and taken aromatic
ammonia.
His grandfather said nothing. but
looked at him.
"Here-here I am. dr." said the
crown prince from the door.
The king drew q long breath. But
the silence persisted. Prince Ferdi-
nand William Otto furdvely rubbed
a dusty shoe against the back Of q
trousers leg.
"rm afraid I'm not very neat, sir. !"
said Prince Ferdinand William Otto.
and took q step forward. Until his
grandfather commanded him. he could
not advance into the room.
"Come here" said the king.
He went to the side Of the bed.

CHAPTER u.
Disaraeed.

Ote0raceo.
At eight o'clock that evening the
Crown Prince Ferdinand William Otto
approached the palace through the
public square. He approached 1t
slowly, for two reasons. First, he did
not want to 60 back. Second, he wss
rather frightened. He had an idea
that they would be disagreeable.
There seemed to be q great deal 60
ing ON at the palace. Carriages were
rolling in under the stone archway
and, having discharged their contents,
mostly gentlemen In uniform, wers
moving e6 with q laundering Of hoofa
that reached from the vaulted roof Of
the entrance. All the lights were on
in the wing where his grandfather,
the king. lived alone. A. his grand
father hated lights, and went to bed
early. Prince Tsedinand William Otte
was slightly puxsled.
He was vsfy dirty. his august faes
was streaksd with SCOT, and his au-
gust hands likewise. His small derby
hat was carefully placed q the very
back Of his head at the angle Of the
American boys cap. Al his collar had
scratched his neck. he had. at Bob
by's suggestion. taken It on and
rolled II up. He decided, a. he waited
In the square. to put It on aganA
Miss Braithwaits was very peculiar
about collars.
Came Q lull in the line Of carriages.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto took
a long breath and started forward.
As he advanced he stuck his hands
in his pockets and swaggered tribe.
It was, a. nearly - possible, an ex-
act imitation of Bobby Thorpe's walk.
And to keep up his courage, he quoted
that young gentleman's farewell
speech to himself: what d. you
care7 They won't eat you. will theyr
Prince Ferdinand William Otto stood
in the shadows and glanced across.
The sentries stood like wooden men,
but something was wrong In the court
yard inside. The guards were all
standing. and there seemed to be a
great many Of them. And Just as he
had made up his mind to take the
plunge. so to speak, a part of his own
regiment Of cavalry came out from the
court yard with a laundering Of hoofs,
wheeled at the street, and clattered
OF.
Very unusual. all Of 1t.
The Grown Prince Ferdinand Otto
felt in HIS pocket for his handkerchief.
and, moistening a corner with his
tongue, wiped his face. Then he wiped
his shoes. Then. with his hands in
his trousers pockets, he sauntered In
to the light.
The two sentries made no sign
when they saw Ferdinand William
Otto approaching. But one of them
forgot to bring his musket to salute.
He crossed himself instead. And
something strained around the other
sentry's lower jaw suddenly relaxed
into a smile as his royal highness
drew a hand from its refuge and sa-
luted. He glanced at one, then at the
other, rather sheepishly, hesitated be-
tween them. clapped his hat on more
securely, and marched in.
1.-THE young rascal r. said the Sec
ond sentry to himself. And by turn
Ing his head slightly-for sentry
learns to see all around like horse,
without twisting his neck-he watched
the runaway into the palace.
Prince Ferdinand william Otto went
up the stone staircase. Here and
there he passed guards who stared and
snluted. Had he not been obsessed
with the vision of Miss Braithwaite,
he would have known that relief fol-

things as they were would sound un-
grateful. Would, indeed, be most Inn
polite. And then, exactly why had he
run away?
Suppose" said the king. "you draw
up chair and tell me about it. We'd
better talk 1t over. I think"
His royal highness drew cr chair.
and sat on it HIS feet not reaching
the floor, he hooked them around the
chair rung. This was permissible be-
cause, first, the king could not see
them from his bed. Second. it kept
his knees from shaking.

Prince Ferdinand William Otto
stared with new awe at the boy. He
found the fact much more remarkable
than If the stranger had stated that
his father was the king of England.

he said with dignity.
The other boy laughed. "Oh. gee
You come with me. 1t won't cost any
thing" he said, and led the way
toward the towering lights.
For Bobby Thorpe to bring a small
boy to ride with him was an everyday
affair. Billy Grimm, at the ticket win
dow, hardly glanced at the boy who
stood, trembling with anticipation, in
the shadow Of the booth.

Ferdinand William Otto had a qualm.

Britain in Arms: By Jules Destree.
Published by John Lane Company,
New York.
j. Lewis May has presented an Eng.
lish translation of Destree's we'll
known work, L'Effort Britannique. In
his preface to the work Georges Gle
menceau says: "This is not a war for
the possession of town, province,
or a colony; we are battling for free
dom, for the existence of our race.
There is now but one great issue at
stake, and that is to decide which of
the two hostile groups shall survive
and carry on its history through the
ages" The object OF the present
work is to show the part which Eng
land has played in the present great
war, and the reasons which compelled
her entrance therein The great effort
which England has put forth in order to
achieve victory is explained from vari
GUS viewpoints: the Army, the Navy
Industry, Finance, and Diplomacy, are
all considered in their bearing on the
present struggle The book begins
with a consideration of the German
grievances against England and the
reasons why we find her involved in
the war; it ends with an appreciation
of England and of the wonderful union
apparent between the kingdom and the
empire.
