of Norman Meekins, 81, in near
tragedy on the Chester River.
Young Bland tapped Meekins over
the head with an oar when he re-
sisted rescue efforts following a
plunge off the Chester River bridge,
hauled him into his cupboard motor
boat anc brought him safely to shore.
He was carried to Kent-Queen Anne's
Hospital for treatment.
Meekins, who lives in the Morgnes
section of Kent county, was seen by
several persons as he stopped his car
near the draw on the bridge, hoped
up on the railing and leaped off.
Young Bland, cruising about the riv-
er in his boat, saw the plunge and
rushed to Meekins. Meekins resisted
attempts to haul him aboard, so Bland
used the oar as a persuader.
Reasons for the plunge have not
been clearly defined.

General Besserley suggested in con-
cerned tone. "Those lads will do any,
thing for a SCOOP"
The car came to halt in a cloud
of dust with pebbles flying in all di-
rections. There was momentary
commotion in the hall; then the door
of the adjoining room was thrown
open but it was no American news
paper man who confronted the distin-
guished gathering.
It was Prince Otto Won Behrling,
who also bore the title of Baron Jan
van Westrheene who stood for a mo-
ment shivering, his lips parted, his
expression full of savagery. Then,
as though forced into the action by
custom, he raised his right hand in
sharp salute.
"Your Highness," he muttered, ad-
dressing Count Helm who simply turn
ed and looked steadily at the gigantic
man by whose side two burly guards
seemed mere striplings.

ugly rumors had reached us and we
invited Lord Matresser to visit the
colonies and make his report. That

said. Gentlemen you are within your

The conference was practically over.
Count Helm leaned towards Mattress

"a curious thing in connection with
Prince Won Behrling," he confided, els
that the Prince is practically the own

to the frontier. My great-grandfath-
er secured two hundred and fifty
years" lease of these forests and the
schloss itself is Crown property; but
the woods, although leased to us, are
really the property of the Won Behr-
lings.'
"And what has become of Won Behr-
ling?"
At that moment came an utterly I'M
expected sound-the approach of a
high powered automobile.
The shooting lodge was absolutely
unapproachable from the rear owing
to the towering wall of thick forest,
six or seven hundred feet high. Both
roads to the airdrome were strictly
guarded. No vehicle was allowed to
pass along the private road, no plane
to descend at the airdrome, yet the
stiffness of the night was suddenly
broken by the sound of a roaring
motor and the rasp of wheels scrunch
ing gravel. Count Helm rose in as
constituent. He struck the gong which
stood by his side. Hauslans, the an
cient butler, was already in the room.
