official at the German court, recently
suggested to the former emperor that
he would be greatly benefited by
submitting to the surgical operation
named after Professor Eugen Stein
ach, the famous surgeon Of Vienna,
who originated it. The exile of Doom,
who is nearly "a years old, consented
to undergo the operation, but it has
not yet been performed.
The operation is popularity known
as that for Regeneration" but Stein
ach himself prefers to designate it
as one for restoration or restitution"

BONE DRY GRACE
Overseas Owners Invited to Take
Troubles About Enforcement
to Courts.

shington-President Harding or.
tered a temporary delay in the full
enforcement of the Daugherty ruling
against transportation of intoxicating
liquors.
In letter to Sec. of the Treas. A..
". Mellon, the President ordered the
customs officials be instructed not to
bnforce the ruling against foreign YES
sells leaving their home ports or Amer
lean vessels leaving foreign ports on
DR. before Oct. IA. '.~ .. -
Americas "bone dry" constitution
has started to follow the flag" across,
when enforcement began of the order
against sale of liquor aboard Ameri-
can vessels.
While wireless carried to shipping
board vessels at sea word that Attor-
ney General H. M. Daugherty had
ruled they were American territory"
and therefore must be dry, these other
developments were taking place in
Washington:
Chairman A. D. Lasker of the ship
ping board issued sweeping order for
the most drastic possible enforcement
Of the ruling.
Secretary Mellon set legal experts of
his department at work on regulations
governing foreign vessels, which, un-
der Daugherty's ruling, must not bring
q drop of liquor across the dry from
tier, three miles at sea.
State Department officials let it be
known they will give scant heed to any
diplomatic protests against the order
Affecting foreign ships. Foreign ship
owners who object to it were in effect
invited to take their troubles to Amer
tcan courts, instead of raising diplo-
matte fuss about them.

to be the oldest structure of the kind
in the country. According to official
records in the Archives Of the In

1904 from Gonzalo. Mendez, former
governor Of Florida, who erected il.
The place was purchased FROM Mendez
for $4,000 az a residence for Gov.
Pedro de Yderra and his successor. In
requesting that the purchase be made,
Governor Yderra wrote the king that

HOW HE ESCAPED ARREST
Fuad Pasha From the Threat
ened lndignity.

In 1913 Fuad I, the new king OF
Egypt. was IN unsuccessful candidate
for the Albanian throne, after having
been colonel of artillery in the Italian
army. When he became sultan OF
Egypt his role under the protectorate
Of England was not always easy to
maintain.
One day n messenger Of the British
Resident asked him TO sign an ordi-
nance against the Egyptian national
lists. He refused. And the messenger
of the Resident signified to him with
the utmost courtesy:
II shall then to my regret have to
arrest and imprison your highness."
Permit me-" replied Fuad Pasha,
"to 60 for a mOment to my room to
reflect"
A few minutes later Fuad came
back in the uniform Of an Italian
colonel.
He was not arrested.

veins were pricking cold. What did he

ever was heard except the beating of
the Indian Drum? She tried TO make
him say more; but he looked away now
down to the lake.

him I'm sorry / can't wait to see him."
"When are you going?"
"Now."
She offered to drive him to Petos-
key, but he already had arranged for
a man to take him to the train.
She went to her room after he was
gone and spread out again on her bed
the watch-now the watch Of Captain
Stafford of the Miwaka-with the
knife and coins of more than twenty
years ago which came with It. The
meaning of them now was all changed;
she felt that; but what the new mean
ing might be could not yet come to
her. Something Of it had come TO Alan;
that, undoubtedly, was what had SO
greatly stirred him but she could not
yet reassemble her ideas. Yet a few
facts had become plain.
A maid came to say that Mr.. Spear
man had come up from his boat for
breakfast with her and was down
stairs. She went down to find Henry
lounging in one Of the great wicker
chairs in the living room. He arose
and came toward her quickly but she
halted before he could seize her.

"He has? How was that?" E
She told him while he watched her
~intently. "He wired to Buffalo about
the watch He got a reply which Ire
brought to me half ar hour ago."
"Yes?"
1.-The watch belonged to Captain
Stafford who was lost with the Mi
waka, Henry"
He made nc reply; but waited.
"YOu may not have known that 1t

known that it was he who rescued the
people of the W~innebago, but you must
have known that Uncle Benny didn't"
Yes; l knew that, Connie" he an
swerd evenly.
Then why did you let me think the
watch was his and that he must be-

That's all's the matter? You had
thought he was dead. I believed it was
better for yOu-for every one-to be-
lieve that"
She drew a little away from him,
with hands clasped behind her back,
gazing intently at him. There was
some writing found in Uncle Benny's
house in Astor street-a list Of names
of relatives of people who had lost
their lives upon the lake. Wassaquam
knew where those things were. Alan
says they were given TO him in your
presence. Why didn't you tell me
