Miners Live lonp.

It Is an extraordinary fact that even
when deaths from accident are includ.
ed, the rate Of mortality among miners
Of Great Britain is materially lower
than that among any other big class
of labor, except agriculturists, and ap-
preciably lower than the average rate
of mortality among males. This fact
was discovered by Doctor latham,
while acting as superintendent of sta
tistics in the Office of the registrar gen.
eral. Doctor latham points out that
while the risk Of fatal accidents among
the coal miners is much greater than
among other males generally, their
risk Of death by disease is much lower,
being 1855 per cent less than all occu-
pied males. and 1872 per cent less than
that of all males. While coal miners
appear to suffer more than the aver.
age mortality from bronchitis, they
show marked immunity from consump-
ton, their mortality from that disease
being less than half the average. From
diseases Of the nervous system their
mortality Is IS per cent lower; heart
disease, 10 per cent lower, and from
disease Of the liver, 10 per cent lower
than among all males.

Driven by b%roodlng and trouble, he had

ness.
He sat silent while the concierge
cleared the tnble. and put the dishes
IN a pan for his niece to wash. And
throughout the evening he said little.
At something before midnight he and
his host were to set out on u grave
matter, nothing less than to visit the
committee of ten, and lmpart the old

"By chance" said the concierge,
"this-thls brave veternn"-he glanced
contemptuously at the huddled figure
In the chair-"has come across an old
passage, the n which rumor has said
lay under the city wall, and for which
we have at different times instituted
search."
He paused, to give his words weight.
That they were of supreme interest
could be told by the craning forward
Of the committee.
"The entrance is concealed ut the
base Of the old Gate Of the Moon. Our
friend here followed 1t, and reports
1t In good condition. For a mile or
thereabouts 1t follows the line of the
destroyed wall. Then it turns and
goes to the palace ITSELF"

Stand up, Adelbert," said the leader
sharply. "This that our comrade tells
Is true?"
ut Is true, ex~cellency."
"Shown a diagram Of the palace,
could you locate this door,"
Old Adelbert stared around him
hopelcssly. 1t was done now. Moth
ing that he could say or refuse to say
would change that. He nodded.
When, 500 after, n chart Of the
palace vas placed on the table, he in
dlcated the location of the door with a
trembling forefinger. ut is there" he
said thickly. "And may God forgive
me for the thing l have done!"

Karl made another attempt, ut might

The chancellor was not listening.
There was trouble ahead. It had come,
then, after all. He muttered some
thing behind his gray mustache. The
horses stopped, as the crowd suddenly
closed In front Of them,

kinu Karl.

"They love us dearly!" said King
Karl.
The chancellor, who sat beside hin
in the royal carriage, shrugged his
shoulders. "They have had little rea'
son to love, in the past, majesty" he
said briefly.
Karl laughed, and watched the
crowd. He and the chancellor rode
alone, Karl's encourage, a very modest
one, following In another carriage.
There was no military escort, no pomp.
1t had been felt unwise. Karl, paying
ostensibly a visit Of sympathy. had
come unofficially.
The chancellor was not so calm as
he appeared. He had lined the route
from the station to the palace with his
men; had prepared for every contin-
gency so far as he could without call
ing out the guard. AS the carriage,
drawn by its four chestnut horses,
moved slowly along the streets, his
eyes under their %overhanging thatch
were watching ahead, searching the
crowd for symptoms Of unrest.
Anger he saw in plenty, and
suspicion. Scowling faces and frown-
Ing brows. But as yet there was no
disorder. He sat with folded arms,
magnificent in his uniform beside Karl,
who wore civilian dress and looked
less royal than perhaps he felt.
And Karl, too, watched the crowd,
feeling its temper and felgning an in
difference he did not feel. Olga Los
chek had been right. He did not want
trouble. More than that, he was of
an age now to crave popularity. Many
of the measures which had made him
beloved In his own land had no higher
purpose than this, the smiles Of the
crowd. So he watched and talked of
Indifferent things.
1T is ten years since l have been
here" he observed, but there are few
changes"

said Mettlich bluntly. "Wars have left
US no money. majesty, for b%uilding!"
That being a closed road, SO to
speak, Karl tried another. "The

with anxiety. 1t vas a bad business,
and he could not withdraw.
