Gymnastics Enjoyed.

It is the consensus of opinion that
it was a wise and profitable move
when arrangements were made last
summer to have VIM. Coombe of the
local school faculty, take course
in gymnastics at Danebod college,
Tyler, under the leadership of Viggo
Tarnow. During the present school
term Mr.. Coombe and Miss Solveig
Utoft have been drilling the Junior
and senior high school girls and boys
in physical education; and fruits of
their labors were exhibited at the
D. B. S. hall Friday evening before
capacity attendance.
Inasmuch as it is the first time
that gymnastics have been attempted
on this scale, and it being the first
public exhibition, it can easily be
agreed by everyone who saw it, that
it was "just fine" The continual ap-
plauSe by the large audience indicated
that it was far beyond expectations.
1t is to be hoped that this activity
will become regular part of the
school work and that there will be
many more such exhibitions.

it that it was almost physical force.
She pressed her finger tips into the
palms of her hands, to hold herself
against it, but even as she did that,
she knew that she didn't want to hold
herself Here was something so des-
perately man - and so aloof from
mere manhood - so of the world and
yet so contemptuous of worldliness,
that all that Mark Wayne had put
into her responded to him - all her
belief in power and dignity - all her
fine arrogance of womanhood.
"I'm glad" she said fercely, that
l threw my car key into the Tashno."
IF you hadn't" he bowed. II would
have had no further interest in you"
He turned from her and walked to-
ward Latre's great window. The rose
and the gold of it was in his hair,
burning the black silk of his sling and
the slim lines of his boots. They were
not political boots. They were horse
mems boots, worn with the saddle,
polished to a beautiful patine, encas-
ing horseman's slender legs.
Then suddenly she knew that he
had turned from her in the fine agony
of physical pain. His arm - doped
against that pain to keep him on his
feet - was awakening again. He con-
trolled it and came back to her.
Miss Wayne" he said. Captain
General Gorsch Zu Stu wants you
dead. He is not interested in you per-
sonaIly, but he wants you to die - for
what the world will do to me. put
you into his hands gratuitously when

''St. Beloise," he said. this morn
ing. All l can tell you is - that it will
be extremely unsafe for you to leave
the Palace at present. Keeping you
here, on the other hand, is extremely
unsafe for me, for public opinion will
say that | have done it for personal
reasons"
What wiA you do?"
He smiled. Captain Batron had
two orders this morning. To bring you
here - and to 60 back and personally
assassinate Captain General Gorsch
Zu Stu. Until we find out whether or
not he has been successful, will you
lunch with me?"
1t was so outrageous, the impersonal
tone of his voice, that she laughed
suddenly and because of her laughter
he laughed.
Sergeant, she said, don't hang

What is that?" he asked her.

1T is luncheon them" He smiled at
her
"It is" She nodded. He led her
through the great oaken doors to the
right of Latre's window and down the
steps beyond through the marble
Court of the Pages, through the pas
sage that goes by the golden bars of
St. Geneve's Chapel into the Chan
cellor's Wing.
He said, "Everything you told me
about being spoiled child this morn

our embassy. You are rather remark

He said, Royalty these days is

tical worth above personal gracious
ness"
What is dictatorship then "a

Il don't know. In some cases it
seems to be. My dictatorship was
forced upon me-"
How forced?"

There was a table set in the great
bow windows of the old Chancellery,
and the windows we're open to the
Botanical Gardens below. As they sat
down. there was the faint purr of
bell. The Prince Sergei crossed to a
telephone ''So?" he said quietly.
He turned and faced her. Captain
Batron has just been shot to death in
the lobby of the Koenighof," he said.

He smiled. 1T means that we shall

you're more right than Gorsch
Zu Stu will ever be. Who can you
count on for loyalty?"
''One never knows, does one?"
She said. Its your arm," and she
pointed her finger at him., IF your
arm wasn't hurt -" She came around
from behind the table. Listen to me
- there's one man in this town who
can tell you where your loyalty lies -
Lathrop MacAfee - Behan's man.
Send for him! He was arrested at the
Tashno Gates not an hour ago"
'You love him?"
''Oh, damn you" She shook her
fists under his chin. ''Of course l don't
love him! He's splendid old friend of
mine -"
He grabbed her wrist. Whom do
you love?" He.was hurting her wrist,
bending over her, the fire in his eyes
live thing.
"You fool! What difference does
that make. No one. Let go of my
wrist"
He let it go and Strengthened up.
''You will love me-" he said quietly.
"All right. will love you - but do
something"
''You will love me-" he said, 'for-
ever" The quietness of his voice
spread through the room in a slowly
widening pool of sound. She went cold
with it suddenly. and looked up at
him and they were two people alone
in the world. He stepped back from
her with an appalling disbelief in his
eyes.
Can it be?" he said.
Il don't know" she said helplessly.
Il don't know; there is something 50
awful in this moment. Do you feel it?'
"Yes," he said. 1T is all inside me

She covered her face with both her
hands. please don't touch me-" she
whispered.
