CHAPTER XI.—Continued.
To Htinimnn a UIiir. u prltjie mlnlnlor
and ih<* lilKhcst official of the earth's
most mighty navy to a private Inter
view at midnight! Kven lu tlines like
thefe it seemed preposterously Impu-
dent; but this man came as a friend
from the land of silent terror which
threatened to conquer the world, was
undoubtedly In deadly earnest, and
was a means of Information between
what had actually happened and what
waB to come.
"'Time will not wait, even for
kings,"" quoted the monarch with
some undershade of bitterness, and
from his guest came the whispered re-
turn:
"No. time cannot wait, even foi
kings."
The monarch slowly settled bnck Intt
the hollow depths of Ills chair and, as
if seeking a moment's respite to re-
view the situation, looked upward at
the hangings of his box and then out
toward the garish lights of the stage.
The hush of expectancy over the house
had readied a climax of intensity, and
the master of ceremonies in a raucous
voice was shouting toward the roof ii:
deliberately prolonged tones: "Arc—
you—all—ready?" From somewhere
above them came a faint response,
"Yes," and then with speed gathered
by its long (light through the ail
there came Hashing comet-like from
high above an extended splotch of
white, the sound of a sharp splash,
and a burst of applause as the "event
of the evening," a high dive, was con-
summated. Neither occupant of the
royal box paid any attention to this
feat. Bevins remained in an attitude
of expectancy, waiting for the king's
next words. The success or failure
of his enterprise might depend upon
them, and in this light they seemed
of almost tragic consequence.
1 "What do you propose?" the ruler
asked, again facing the admiral as
though there had been no lapse of
time; and the other, relieved by this
'feign of assent, gave an involuntary
and deep-drawn sigh of relaxation.
"If your majesty will be so kind, I
think it best that 1 should meet you in
the palace within an hour after your
departure from this theater. That
will give leeway for the other gentle-
men to respond to the summons and
be there at the appointed time."
The band struck up "Clod Save the
King." in token of the closing of the
performance, and from where they
were they could see the audience
■tandlng. in total ignorance of the
presence of his majesty and unaware
of the fact that a momentous inter-
view, involving life and death, peacc
and war, and the welfare of empire
was being conducted in a tiny over
hanging box above them, while a
leering mask of tragedy stared hollow-
eyed from the stage as if in mockery.
The king and the admiral were both
on their feet, the one looking absent-
mindedly through an aperture, hi?
mind concentrated on the decision ne
must make, and the other watching
and waiting with breathless suspense.
Below the throng began a steady
movement toward the exits, constant-
ly dissipating itself, and the house
was almost emptied before the officer
had his reply.
"Very well, you may come, and
shall have the others sent for at
once."
Bevins gave a quick start of exulta-
tion: but his companion continued
without a pause:
"1 shall be there within half an
hour, and shall Instruct the guard at
the outer gate to adfnlt you immediate
ly on your arrival."
His companion held up a hand as if
forgetting something. "If your maj-
esty pleases. I should prefer that you
instruct the guard at the private en
trance leading from the garden In the
rear."
To this also the king acceded, at-
tributing it to a desire for conceal
inent on the part of his companion,
who almost at once made his adieu,
passed out beyond the curtains,
through the door, and Joined the last

of the evening and rendered traffic
more difficult. Here and there came
the glow and halation of an arc light,
dimly showing through a veil and
lighting up a tiny radius in the gloom.
A constnble kept calling: "Keep close
to the wall! Keep close to the wall!"
his voice sounding from a long dis-
tance and muffled. Cabmen were in-
sistently shouting, and when Bevins
came to the first street crossing he
was almost run down by a slow-moving
automobile whose eyes stared at him
suddenly like those of a great beetle.
It was the king driving to his resi
dence.
At Buckingham palace, where the
royal banner was hanging sodden
from its staff, the guards with busby*
coated with the perspiration of the
night, tramped briskly to and fro at
the great iron gates in front as well
as past the gates of the garden on
Buckingham road, a half mile in the
rear. The time of the appointment was
past when the guard at the private en-
trance received the expected visitor
with a comment of surprise and apol
ogy that he had not been accompanied
through the gardens by the farther
sentries.
"Very thoughtless and unusual, sir,"
he said, "and I'll report them at once."
"No, no, don't do that," Bevins
hastily requested. "I wished to come
alone. By his majesty's permission,"
he added, and the man conducted him
to the private audience chamber,
where he was given a seal.
The prime minister entered only a
few minutes later and stared hard at
Bevins, evidently trying to recall
whether or not they had met before,
and seeming to remember something,
familiar in the face. They waited
without speaking until the lord of the
admiralty appeared, showing from his
garb that he had been compelled to
hasten his coming; and then came the
king.
"Gentlemen," he said, turning to thj
others, "this is Admiral Robert Bevins
of the United States navy."
Had he said: "Gentlemen, here is an
assassin with a pock9tful of bombs,"
the effect on the members of his cab!
net could have been hardly less
marked. Bevins bowed and extended
his hand to each in turn, assuring
them of his friendliness. The king
himself without parley conducted
them to a more private room, and
offered each In turn a cigar, after
which he looked inquires!" at his
guest, who answered by drawing from
his pocket a sealed dispatch, which he
delivered. It was torn open and rea-l
in silence, passing from hand to hand,
after which the admiral, without pre-
lude, plunged into his subject.
"As will be witnessed by the dis-
patches I have brought, the United
States wishes nothing more than com-
plete harmony. It has been compelled
for the sake of peace to adopt rather
unprecedented methods, which I can
assure you will at least revolutionize
all methods of warfare as generally
understood. The letter is to reassure
his majesty."
The two members of the minlstry
looked at each other in strained sus-
pense. and eagerly waited for the
American to continue, which he did
after brief thought, in which time he
gravely studied the king's face.
"It has not been pleasant for my
country to take the steps it has; biu
there were no other means of estab-
lishing and maintaining—perhaps for-
ever—a continued state of peace. Gen-
tlemen. I believe that the day of war
has nearly seen Its sunset. I be-
lieve if yon will intrust yourselves to
mj tan tor th* Mat few
my government and as a friend of his
majesty's, that no harm will come to
any of you, that I can convince you
of what 1 have said, as well as of the
uselessnesH of strife."
Again there was silence, while those
In the room looked at each other qties-
tlonlnglv.
"Yes. it will require your leaving
the palace," the admiral continued as
If responding to an interrogation, and
then with grim humor added, "that
notwithstanding the disappearance of
the kaiser and his chancellor."
The ministers shook their heads, in-
dicating that it was impossible. The
monarch, however, sat steadily watch
ing and listening, flicking the ash now
and then from his cigar and smooth-
ing an end of leaf which had pulled
loose.
"The reason this is necessary," the
officer hastened to add. "is that your
people will never understand the pow
er of the United States nor believe In
it on less distinguished testimony than
that which you will be able to render.
lCven then il will be hard for them to
comprehend thai my country Is in pos-
session of an engine of war lhat could
bring all nations to its feet, or anni-
hilate them if it chose."
His hearers stiffened up for a mo-
ment, reading in this placid assertion
a threat.
"No, it not a menace to you or the
world, if you will but grant my wish
Gentlemen, I am asking you to be my
guests in the name of humanity, which
is above all rulers and above all gov-
ernments!" His voice was vibrant
and almost pleading In his anxiety to
gain his point.
The king alone seemed half in-
clined to go. "I have known Bevins
for 30 years," he said slowly, "and we
have been very good friends, indeed
intimate at times, and I would intrust
my life in his keeping; but a man and
a king are two different beings. As a
man 1 would go at once; but as the
representative head of a nation I can-
not take the risk unless there is no
other way."
The minister and the lord of the
admiralty spoke together in their dis-
approval, and besought their superior
to refuse such a demand under any
and all conditions. Bevins saw that
he was losing his point, and stepped
into the breach.
"Wait!" he begged, rising to his

and remained there while the lord ol |

in an atlltude of awe-struck question' '
Ing.
The king broke the alienee. "Field"!

Ishment.
"Yes. your majesty. It Is I," and he
advanced to meet the king, who sud
denly held out his bund.

"Well, under promise then, that 1 j

tery which I now thoroughly under

If the subject brought up unpleasant f
recollections of defeat, and went on:
"I am here to-tflght as the guest ol
our friend the Admiral. He has told ,
me of his failure to convince you that
what he asks is necessary, and I have
come to add ray arguments to hla,
urging upon you to do as he says. He
has told you the truth when he sayi
that It. may mean an end to war."
The minister^ and the lord of the
admiralty looked shocked; but the
king made a decision without hesi-
tancy. "I will 'accept, and believe it
best that, the others should accompany
me." It was conclusive.
They donned their light coats, and
when the monarch stepped from his
wardrobe a moment later he, too, was
garbed for his trip and preceded them
down the hallways, through corridors
and arched doors, over heavy car
pets where the noise of their feet was
deadened, and across tiled floors
where the ring of their boot-heels dis-
turbed the silenksfc. Only once did the
king halt, and that was for Bevins tn
indicate whether it was desirable to
pass through the private door or into
the broader corridor leading toward
the front of the palace. They chose
the former course, passed the wonder
ing sentry at the door, and out Into
the night. The odor of June flowers
came to them on every side through
the weird veil of fog, and from the
drive beyond the pile of stone and
brick came the steady clattering of
horses' hoofs. They walked closely
together, the king holding Bevins'
arm. The sentry heard their feet
steadily crunching out over the grav-
eled walks, started at the sound of a
melancholy, far-reaching whistle, won-
dering whether it was a signal of
some strange import, and then re-
sumed his usual motionless attitude.
The king and his ministers had been
taken by the tog. the night and the
mystery.

According to the statistics of gov-

cent, of the overage tree as it stands
in the woods comes into the market in
the form of merchantable products.
The remainder is allowed to go to
waste.
The growing scarcity of timber has
caused the government to try to find
a use for all of it. Laboratories were
established to investigate the value
for pulp purposes of various abundant
woods and to save the valuable spruce
and poplar forests for lumber.
Experimental studies resulted in a

celebrated riotously. He was pre-
vailed upon to sign the pledge, and
this piece of news was given wide
publicity. Dut in a few weeks Jones
turned upon his temperance friends
and again sought old-time friends and
acquaintances.
' The idea!" grieved Jones, as he
told the waiter to duplicate an order.
"Me driving a milk wagon, and those
fellows advertising that I am on the
water wagon!"—Judge.
Yom Kippur.
When everything else is surrendered
that is distinctive of Jewish ceremo-
nialism the atonement retains Its grip
on the vast majority of Israelites. Kip-
pur is the last link binding them to
their community, their faith and Ita
peculiar observance.

Coffee Was the Cause.
Many daily habits, particularly of
eating and drinking, are formed by fol-
lowing our elders.
In this way ill health Is ofteu fas-
tened upon children. A Ga. lady says:
"I had been allowed to drink coffee
ever since 1 could remember, but even
as a child "l had a weak stomach,
which frequently refused to retain
food.
"The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as I found
out later, the cause of the stomach re-
belling against food.
"1 now see that it was only from fol-
lowing the example of my elders that
I formed and continued the miserable
habit of drinking coffee. My digestion
remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre-
quent headache, and yet I did not sus-
pect the true cause.
"Another trouble was a bad. muddy
complexion for which I spent time and
money for creams, massaging, etc.,
without any results.
"After I was married I was asked to
try Postum, and would you believe It,
I, an old cO(fee toper, took to Postum
from the very first. We made It right
—according to directions on the pkg.,
and It had a most delicate flavor, and I
at once quit coffee, with the happiest
results.
"I now have a perfectly clear, smooth
akin, fine digestion and haven't bad •
headache in over two years."
"There's a Reason."

" Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound? "
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to nealth by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. ,
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi-
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound writs
and ask her.
Houston, Te xas.—" When I Ant besan taking Lydia E. Plmk-
hara'a Vegetable Compound 1 waa a total wreck. I had bee*
sick for three years with female troublea, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try It.
-My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and It did
me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well simaa
and enjoy the best of health.
MI advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydin E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound n trial. They wont
regret it, for it will surely cure you.'*—Mrs. Bessie L. Hiek%
