“May I suggest that the matter might
prove urgent, sir?” said Stenovics.
“Every hour is full of danger,” de-
clared the countess.

with his own hand some lines. . He

His face was now firm and calmer..
The peril to his greatest hopes—per-
haps a sense of the precarious tenure
of his power—seemed to impart to him
a new promptness, a decision alien to
his normal character. “Colonel Staf-
nitz!” he said in a tone of command.
The colonel rose to his feet and sa-
luted. From an adviser in council he
became in a moment a soldier on duty.
“I am about to intrust to you a duty
of great delicacy. I choose you be-
cause, short of General Stenovics him-
self, there is no man in whom I have
such confidence. Tomorrow morning
you will go to Praslok .and inform his
royal highness that you have a com-

brava. If the prince is absent you will
see the baroness herself. If she is ab-
sent you will follow her and find her.

Then Mar kart told his story—not that
he had much to tell. In essence he
added only that the prince proposed to
await the king’s answer at Praslok.
Neither to him had the prince said a
word about starting on his journey.
On this point Stenovics seized,’ pur-
suant, no doubt, to the plan devised in
that preliminary discussion with the
other two members of the little coterie.
“It is remarkable, sir, even more
than remarkable, that his royal high-
ness makes no reference at all to the
direct command which your inajesty
was pleased to issue to him,” he ob-
served.
The king listened, puzzled and rather
distressed. “Yes, it isn’t proper; it
isn’t respectful. But now that my son
knows the state of my health I think
I must see him. It seems unnatural to
refuse. After all, it may be the last
time, since he’s going on this journey.”
“But is the prince going on his jour-
ney, sir?” asked Stenovics. “Does the
studied silence of his letter augur well
for his obedience? Doesn’t he seek an
interview in order to persuade your
majesty against your better judgment?

Jens Jeskie, the cook who with hia
assistant, Wimam Roiland, was severely
burned by hot water Friday, died Sunday '
a few minutes after noon a't the John -
Sealy hospital, where lie was under treat*
ment. The body was taken in charge
by friends.
Jeskie and Rolland worked at Mc-
Graw’s boarding and lodging houset
southeast corner of 20th and Mechanla
streets. They were carrying a ten-gallo.i
vessel full of boiling water when ona
of them slipped. Jeskie suffered severe

fined to burns upon the legs sind. feet. It

the harassed and sick king., “We must he had an interview with the prince.
He left Praslok between 6 and 7 in the
morning and arrived at his house on
the south boulevard by 11. At half
past 11 he walked up the Street of the
Fountain, crossed St. Michael’s square
and entered a small inn in a little alley
behind the cathedral. Here the man I
speak of was waiting for him. They
were together half an hour. Zerko-
vitch then left. The man remained till
1, then came out and returned to the
palace by a circuitous route, arriving
here about 2 o’clock. I venture to say
that the meaning of all this is quite
clear. This man is in communication
with Praslok, using Zerkovitch as his
intermediary. It’s for your inajesty to
say how far his disobedience in regard
to acquainting the prince with your
condition is a serious offense. As to
that I say nothing, but it will be ob-
vious that this man should know noth-
ing of any,private measures undertaken
or contemplated.”
j The king had listened carefully. “The
case seems clear,” he said. “This fel-
low’s a traitor. He’s done harm al-
ready and may do more. What do you
ask, general?”
“We might be content to let him
know nothing, but who can be quite
certain of insuring that? Sir, you have
just arrived at a very important de-
cisionA-to take certain action. Absolute
■ secrecy is essential to its success. I’ve

charge of a person who is beyond sus-
picion until the action to which I refer
has been successfully carried out.”
“The precaution is an obvious one and
well considered in Countess Eilenburg’s
apartments. The second line came
into action. The countess began with
a question, put with a sneer:
“Did no other reason for the prince’s
unwillingness to set out on his journey
suggest itself to Captain Markart from
what he saw at Praslok?”
The king turned sharply round to
her, then to Markart. “Well?” he ask-
ed the latter.
Markart was sadly embarrassed.
“Who was at Praslok?” asked the
countess.
“Mme. Zerkovitch, and her husband
for one night, and Baroness Dobrava.”
“Yes, Baroness Dobrava!”
“She’s still there?” asked the king.
He looked perplexed, even vexed, but
again he smiled. He looked at Ste-
novics and Stafnitz, but this time he
fourid no responsive smiles. Their
faces were deadly serious. “Oh, come,
well—well, that’s not serious. Natural
perhaps, but—the prince has a sense of
duty. He’ll see that that won’t do.
And we’ll send the baroness a hint—
we’H tell her how much we miss her at
Slavna.” He tried to make them an-
swer his smile and accept his smooth-
ing away of the difficulty. It was all
a failure.
“I’m bound to say, sir, that I consider
Baroness Dobrava a serious obstacle
to his royal highness obeying your
wishes—a serious obstacle,” said Ste-
novics.
“Then we must get her away, gen-
eral.”
“Will he let her go?” snapped the
countess.
“I must order it If it comes to that,”
said the king. “These little—er—affairs
—these—what—holiday flirtations”—
The countess lost or appeared to lose
control of herself suddenly. “Little af-
fairs! Holiday flirtations! If it were
cply that it would be beneath your no-
tice, sir, and beneath mine. It’s more
than that!”
The king started and leaned for-
ward, looking at her. She rose to her
feet, crying; “More than that! W’hile
we sit talking here he may be man-y-
ing that woman!”-
“Marrying her?” cried the king. His
face turned red and then, as the blood
ebbed again, became very pale.
“That’s what she means—yes, and
what he means too!” ■
The king was aghast. The second as-
sault struck home—struck at his dear-
est hopes and wounded his most inti-
mate ambitions, but he was still in-
credulous. He spread out trembling
hands, turning from the vehement wo-
man to his two counselors.
“Gentlemen!” he said imploringly,
with outstretched hands.
They were silent—grave and silent.
“Captain Markart, you—you saw any-
thing to suggest this—this
idea?”
The fire was hot on poor Markart
again. He stammered and stuttered.
“The—the baroness seemed to have
much influence, sir; to—to hold a very
hich position in the prince’s regard;
HE king’s ambition and pride
had quivered under the threat
of a cruel blow. The charge
against Lepage wounded him
hardly less deeply. He regarded his
body servant with the trustful affec-
tion which grows on an indolent man
in course of years—of countless days of
consulting, trusting, relyipg on one
ever present, ever ready, always trust-
worthy. Lepage had been with him
nearly thirty years. There wrns hardly
a secret of the king’s manhood which
he had not known ajad -kept. At last
had he turned traitor! < , ' ' ;G
Stenovics had failed to allow for this
human side of the matter—how much
more alone the revelation would make
the king feel, how much more exposed
and helpless, just, moreover, when
sickness made his invaluable servant
more indispensable still, A forlorn dig-
nity filled the king’s simple question,
“Is it true, Lepage?”
Lepage’s impassivity vanished. He,
too, was deeply moved. The sense of
guilt was on him—of guilt against his
master. It drove him on beyond itself
to a fierce rage against those who had
goaded him into his disobedience,
whose action and plans had made his
disobedience right, for right now he
believed and felt it. His talks with,
Zerkovitch had crystallized his sus-
picions into confident certainty. He
was carried beyond thinking of what
effect his outburst might have on his
own fortunes or how it might distress
the already harassed king. He struck
back fiercely at his accuser, all his na-
tional quickness of passion finding vent
in the torrent of words he poured forth
in excuse or justification. He spoke
his native French very quickly, one
word jostling over another, his arms
flying like windmills and his hair
bristling, as it seemed, with defiance.
“Yes, it’s true, sir. I disobeyed your
majesty—for the first time in thirty
years! For the first time in my life, ;-
sir, I did it! And w’hy? Because It!
was right. Because it was for honor.
I was angry, yes! I had been scolded
because Count Alexis hade me call him
‘prince’ and you heard me ^p it. Yes,
I was angry. Was it my fa'atf? Had
I told him he was a prince? Noh Who
had told him he was a prince? Don’t.
ask me, sir. Ask somebody else. For
my part, I know well the difference be-
tween one who is a prince and one who
is not. Oh, I’m not ignorant of that! I
know, too, the difference between one
who is a queen and- one who is not—oh, '
with the utmost respect to Mme. la
Comtesse! But I know it, and I re-
member it. Does everybody else re-
member it?”
He stopped for a moment and clutch-
ed at his stiff, tight collar as though to
wrench it away from his neck and let
the stream of his words flow even mor*
freely. While he paused nobody spoke.
Stenovics' heavy gaze was bn the king,
Stafnitz’s eyes discreetly on the ceil- ,
ing. The Countess looked- scared. Had
they made a mistake? Would it hav4 '
been better to run the risk of what Le»*
page could do? The king’s hands wertf
on the table in front of him. They;
trembled where they lay.
“Why wasn’t the prince to know!
Because then he wouldn’t go on hia
journey! His journey after^the Ger<
man princess!”. He faced Stenovics
now, boldly and defiantly, pointing a
forefinger at him. “Yes, they wanted
him to go. Yes, they did! Why, sir?
To marry a princess—a great princess?
Was that what they wanted? Eh, but
it would have been little use for Count -
Alexis to ask me to call him a prince
then! And Mme. la Comtesse—with the
utmost respect to Mme. la -Comtesse-«
she wanted a great princess here? Ofy
she wanted that mightily, to be sure!”
The king stirred uneasily in his chair, -
“Sir, will you listen to him?” the
countess broke in. ' k

I must be pardoned freedom of speech.
Great interests are at stake.” The last
words were true enough, though not in
the sense in Which the king was meant
to understand them.
“My son knows how near this mat-
ter is to my heart. I shall be able to
persuade him to do his duty,” said the
king.
The first round of the fight, was go-
ing against the coterie. They did not
want the king to see his son. Danger
lay there. The prince’s was the strong-
er character. It might well prevail,
and they were no longer certain that
the prince knew or guessed nothing of
their hopes and intentions. How much
news had Zerkovitch ctyried to Pras-
lok the night before? Stenovics
dressed the king again.
“Captain Markart gathered that
prince was reluctant to interrupt
military training on which he is
gaged at Volseni, sir.”
“A very excellent thing, that, but the
other matter is more urgent. I shouldn’t
change my mind on account of i^at.”
“A personal interview might be try-
ing to your inajesty.”
The king looked annoyed, possibly a
little suspicious. “You’ve no other ob-
jection than that to urge, General Ste-
novics?”
Stenovics had none other which he
could produce. “No, sir,” he said.
“While I’m here I must do my duty,
and I shall Induce my son to do fits.
I’ll receive the Prince of Slavna in pri-
vate audience tomorrow or next day.
I’ll fix the precise time later, and I’ll
write the letter myself.”
The decision was final, and it was de-
feat so far. There was a moment’s si-
lence. Markart sawr Colonel Stafnitz
nod his head almost imperceptibly to-
ward Countess Eilenburg. The need
and the moment for re-enforceiuents
bad come. The colonel was calling
them un. The order of battle had been
you will say that my request is a com-
mand. If that is not sufficient you will
produce this paper. It is an order un-
der my hand addressed to you and di-
recting you to arrest Baroness Do-
'Tjrayhrand escort her here to my pres-
- e'nee, notwithstanding any objection or
resistance which any person whatever
will offer at his peril. You will be
back here by tomorrow evening, with
the baroness in your charge. Do it
without employing the order for arrest
if possible, but do it anyhow and at all
costs. Do you understand?”
“Perfectly, sir. Am I to take an es-
cort?”
The answer to that question was anx-
iously considered—and awaited anx-
iously.
“Yes,” said theking, “you will. The
precise force I leave to your discretion.
It. should be large enough to make you
secure from hindrance by any act short
of open and armed resistance to my
■commands.”
Stafnitz saluted again and at a sign
from the king.,resumed his seat. The
king’s manner relaxed as he turned to
Stenovics. “When we’ve got her here
we’ll reason with her—she’ll hear rea-
son—and persuade her that her health
will benefit by a foreign trip. If neces-
sary I shall cause her to be deported.
She must be out of Kravonia in three
days unless she can clear herself from
all suspicion. I’ll arrange that the
prince shan’t come for his audience un-
til she is well out of Slavna. It is, of
course, absolutely essential that no
word of this should pass the walls of
this room. If once a hint of it reached
Praslok the task of laying our hands
on the baroness might become infinite-
ly more difficult.”
The three were well pleased. They
had come to fear Sophy, and on that
score alone would be right glad to see
the last of her. And when she had
gone there was a fairer chance that
the prince, too, would go on his travels.
Whether he went after her or not they
cared little so that he went and the re-
cruiting and training at Volseni were
interrupted.
Again, she was to go before the audi-
ence. That was another point. The
peril of the audience remained, but
they had improved their chances. Per-
haps Stafnitz’s brain was already busy
with the possibilities of his mission and
his escort. The latter was to be large
enough to make him gecui^ from hin-
drance by any act short of open and
armed resistance to the king's com-
mands. If it were impossible, as his
majesty obviously considered, to con-
template such resistance it was evi-
dently . no less impossible to reckon
wzhat might happen as a consequence
of it.
The king rang his bell impatiently.
“I want my draft again. I’m very
tired. Is there anything else wjiich
need detain us today?”
As he spoke, before Stenovics could
answer, Lepage came in with the draft.
The valet wore an even unusually de-
mure and uninterested expression.
“There is one other matter, sir,” said
Stenovics.
The king paused in the act of drink-
ing and listened, with his glass in his
hand, Lepage standing beside hjm.
“Your majesty just now impressed
on us the need of secrecy as to what
passes between these walls. I think,
‘sir, you would insist on the same thing
with all who serve you confidentially.
You haven’t, asked, sir, how the prince
became aware of the state of your
majesty’s health.”
The king started a little> “No; I for-
got that. It was against my direct or-
ders. How was it?”
Stenovics kept his eyes on the king.
Markart and Stafnitz allowed them-
selves to study Lepage’s features. He
stood the scrutiny well.
“The news, sir, was betrayed by a
man within these walls—a man in close
touch with your inajesty.”
“Natcheff!” exclaimed the king.
“Certainly not, sir. Another. This
man, of whom I had suspicions and
whom I caused to be watched, went by
night to the house of M. Zerkovitch,
■who is, as you are aware, a close friend
and, if I may use the word, an adherent
of the Prince of Slavna. Their inter-
view took place between 9 and 10 last
night. At 11 Zerkovitch, having bor-
rowed a horse from the prince's sta-
bles, set out for Praslok. He rode hard
through the night and reached the cas-
tle, as Captain Markart has told us, in
the small hours of the morning. There
The National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress has undertaken to place informa-
tion in the hands of-the people which
will tend to arouse them io a considera-
tion of the immense importance of our
long neglected waterways, and in doing
this commendable wisdom has been dis<
played, for whether the immediate
friendship of those in power is gained or
not, if the people show earnestness about
having the nation assume the task it is
merely a question of time until the work
will be inaugurated. The rivers and har-
bors bill which hitherto has been loaded
with all sorts of impossible enterprises
upon which the nation has been asked
to spend money, has earned an unen-
viable reputation, so much so that it is
usually referred to as the “pork barrel,”
and consequently has come to he looked
upon with suspicion by the general pub-
lic. It is now proposed to alter the com-
plexion of this appropriation bill to cover
Jrnly those projects approved by the en-
gineering board, and it is hoped that the
proposed appropriation of fifty million
dollars a year may be obtained and de
voted to works of usefulness in various ,
parts of the country.
It is pointed out that just now every-
thing Indicates a season of prosperity
even greater than that which existed
just prior to the stringency of last fall,
and if indications are verified the country
will be again confronted with a conges-
tion upon the railroads such as was
perlenced the greater part of last year
and which it is estimated cost the coun-
try more th^n the appropriation asked for
covering four or five years. It has been
stated that while we of America are pu*-'
ting money into the extension of rail-
roads which serve only1 to add to the sum
total of freight to be transported over a
limited number of lines, Europe is im-
proving its waterways, haying learned
that they give both cheap and rapid
movement of freight, especially of a class
that cannot possibly stand a high rate,
in which class might be mentioned wheat,
oats, coal, lumber and other necessities.
Adam Bede, member of congress from
the eighth Minnesota district, who as
member of the committee of rivers and
harbors has made an exhaustive study of
- the waterways of the country, says: “If
the Missouri river could be made a trans-
portation line it would immediately be-
come the basing point for all rail freight,
thereby benefitting every farmer east of
the Rockies. For every dollar spent in
river and harbor improvements the coun-
try gets value received, and if it wished
to do so, it could sell the improvements
to private corporations for much more
than it cost.” The same authority
quoted as asserting that while there had
been spent on the channels and harbors
between Duluth and Buffalo some seventy
million dollars with twenty million more
appropriated for continuing improvements,
it could be easily demonstrated that this
Immense sum is saved many times over
