No. ., having drawn the lots. Il b
for Us TO cooperate with them Ia
the removal Of the Emperor Of Der.
engaria. hear. comrades. that the
person In question Ia q most estima,
BILE gentleman. with q large family.
whose chief occupation In; life IL 70
collect butterflies" There was q
chorus Of laughter and Kisses. These
details are by the way. What We
have to consider Ii how the removal
shall be arranged. The Emperor Of
Berengaria. In at present residing q
Mivart's Hotel. No. II. please make
your report"
One Of thu young men stood Up
and reported: Waving been engaged
at Mivart's as a waiter. ! obtained
access to the room Of the tyrant At
breakfast tine. ] regret to say that
the suite Is on the second floor. A
waterspout runs along his bedroom
window, and l should not recon.
mend 1t, except for a very athletic
person. The fire escape. however.
leads to the window OF the secrs.
tary's room, an elderly lady; beyond
this il the bedroom Of the aideds
camp. II would be quite simple to
remove the secretary, then the aide
de-camp. and to gain access to the
bedroom in question"
"Thank you," said the chairman, )
"All the same. I am not greatly IN
favor Of these bedroom removals:
you will recall that when we removed
the Prince Of Alsatia It wos thought
that here was q private revenge
That is very poor propaganda ] viii
take the report Of No. s."
No. 8. reported that he was In
charge Of the watch by night on the
movements of the Emperor Of Der.
enraria. These were very unprcm.
ising since his majesty lived an ex'
emplary life. Since his arrival be
had attended classical concerts. or
Shakespearean plays; after taking .
glass Of hot milk. he went to bed
early. Questioned as to whether is
would be any use introducing fe-
male comrade into the imperial circle.
No. 8 shook bis head sadly. That
kind Of attempt had for many years
been made without any success BY
ladies of the court. The Emperor
was much attached to bis corsort: in
fact, In Berengaria. one OF their
amusements was to make pancakes
together In the imperial kitchen.
"All this Is very unsatisfactory"
remarked the chairman. but ] ex.
pected as much. 1t Is perfectly clear
that the removal will have to take
place by day. and in the open. ] pre-
sumo that Is agreeable to the com.
rades from the r. Committed?
"Oh. quite" said the beautiful No.
s. $50 long as the tyraHt Is re.
moved. I am satisfied"
Then" said the chairman, "since
/ have received already the report Of
No. 2. ! may tell you that the En-.
peror OF Berengaria rides every
morning In the park before break.
fast, which he takes at half-past nine.
Poisoning the breakfast we have set
aside. lie then works with his sec.
rotary until II o'clock. Then, carry.
ing his umbrella, he proceeds to toy.
shops and sweet shops for the I'M.
perial children, to whom he gives
presents every day. (Iiisses.) He does
not visit m!ll.ners' shops: the En-.
press refuses that kind OF present.
He has been only three weeks In
London, but his program has never
varied. In the afternoon, still accom-.
panied by the umbrella, and also by
the Empress Of Berengaria, he re-
ceives distinguished persons. or goes
to a concert. II he can avoid an en-
gagement for dlLner. he will do so.
since their majesties prefer high tea.
II, however. he goes out to dinner.
the circumstances are not favorable.
because he does so under military
escort"
II may point out" said one Of the
members. jumping UP. that have
ascertained that the Imperial Ber.
engarian Guard do not carry amnu.
milton, because some years ago. in
Berengaria. a nervous trooper let
off his rife into window. thus wax
ing up q Cei,ld which cried. much TO
the discomposure Of the Emperor"
THAT may be-" said the chairman.
"But however gallant. two persons
cannot deal with a troop. It Is there.
fore clear to me that the removal
must take place either between II
and 1, or In the morning. In the
Row, No. o.. have you any ideas on
the subject?"
