1OllOWeu his every movement,
"There goes, fear. a still dan
gerouS man." he said.
There was a brief period OF
silence. Everyone was listening
to the starting of the car. Soon
they heard it go roaring down
the hill.
"The air." Signor Corletti de-
clared, seems purer."
"a week or So later, Won Behr'
ling alias Van Westrheene met
his fate in an airplane crash)
Hellstern rose to his feet. He
turned toward the President.
"Is it permitted that I say a
word?" he asked.
1T is permitted" was the grave
response.
Having seen and heard the
Prince, accept the report pre-
sented to us by our colleague
Lord Matresser. say that Ger
many should accept the peace
offer and should give all the re-
quired pledges to keep the peace
II, who am passing into the
shadows of the political world,
offer this recommendation to the
powers who will take my place. u
Won Helm nodded gravely.
GREAT PATRIOT
"Our old Leader Hellstern." he
said, resuming his conversational
manner and remaining seated,
will be declared by history to
have played the part Of a great
patriot in this crisis.
This offer of Great Britain
which makes the regeneration of
our country possible, is made to
a new Imperial Germany-to a
Germany that will control her
army with a firm hand and will
carry out every sacred pledge for
the preservation Of peace. We
welcome that offer.
"Hellstern and I together-he
who has ruled through a more
difficult period of our history and
who intend to lead Germany in
it's pacific development-accept it.
The way before us is clear now
to fix upon the date when italy
Austria and Germany can make
their simultaneous proclamation
"Solely and simply to save
them from embarrassment, I Sug
gest now that General Besserley
Lord Matresser, and Sir Esmono
Curtels leave us for a time. We
representatives of Germany, Aus
tria, and Italy will go into execu'
tive session. Will you give us an
hour, gentlemen?
The billiard room and the gen
eral lounge are at your disposi-
ton. I beg that none of you
three, unless greatly fatigued, will
retire before we drink our final
toast"
MatresSer slipped away while
Besserley and Curtels began a
game of billiards. threw his shoot
ing cape over his shoulders, a
warm muffler round his neck, and
opened the huge front door. With
her nose a few inches from the
threshold, the little brown dog
was lying flat.
She leaped to her feet with a
bark of delight when MatreSser
appeared and followed him to the
low parapet. Matresser slowly
filled his pipe. He found himself
in the throes Of an unusual and
acute depression.
LOVE WORRIES
supposing this great game OF
king-making and empire building
went on smoothly to the end, just
what might it mean for Elizabeth?
She would become the cousin OF
the ruler Of Austria. Would she
ever be likely to satisfy herself
with the life Of an English country
squire? It would be easy tc
prove to her that he had not been
the careless sport-engrossed phil
anderer she had imagined.
Even then, however, a life at
Court would have so much to
offer her-the blazing up Of the
old glories, her beloved capital
emerging into its old splendors,
the men of her own type and rank
all her eager Suitors. He felt his
hold upon her, already so precari-
ously established, slipping away.
Matresser rose to his feet a
little chilled by the falling miSts.
The brown dog kept her nose
within an inch or two Of his legs.
Arrived at the entrance to the
