CHAPTER X.— (Cont’d.) 'conscience. But Mme. Plougastel is

heard the sounds of a multitude on
the march. Paris was rising.
The two women at the Hotel Plou-
gustel still waited for the return of
Rougane, though now with ever-
l&ssening hope. And Rougane did not
return. The affair did not appear so
simple to the father as to the son.
Rougane the elder was rightly afraid

deception.

“I must?” he echoed. “Why must
I? Your reasons, monsieur?”
“I violate my words of honor, my
oath, if I tell you,” M. de Kercadious
turned away, wringing his hands, his
condition visibly piteous, then turned
again to Andre. “But in this-extrem-

not immediately understood.
When understanding came at last
Andre-Louis’ first impulse was to cry
and round h's waist there was a tri-' silence,
color rush, in his hat a tri-color was i_
cockade. ■ j
M. de Kercadiou, startled in such
an hour by this sudden apparition,
greeted Andre-Louis in terms almost
identical with those in which in that
same room he had greeted him on a
similar occasion once before.
“What do you want here, sir?”
“I am a representative. I have cer
tain powers. I am very opportunely
returning to Faris. Can I serve you
where. Rougane cannot? Aline should
bv. paced in safety at once.”
M. de Kc-rcndiou surrendered' uncon-
dltkmally. He came over and took
Andre-Louis' hand.
A ndre-I ouis continued.
“About Aline?” he asked. And
hhnself answeredhis own question:
“She must be brought out of Paris at
oueo, bsfore the place becomes a
shambles. Young/'Rougane’s plan is
good-”
“But Rougane the elder will not
hear cf it.”
“You mean he will not do it on his
own responsibility. But he has con
sented to do it on mine. I have left
him a note over my signature to the
effect that a safe-conduct for Mlle, de
Kercadiou to go to Paris and return
is issued by him in compliance with
orders from me.”
M. de Kereadious took the sheet of
paper that Andre-Louis held) out.
“If yon send that to Paris by young
Rougane in the morning,” said Andre-
Jxmis, “Aline should be here by noon.
If there is any ether way in which I
can serve you, you have but to name
it whilst I am here.”
“But there is, Andre. Did not Rou-
gane tell you that there were others?”
“He mentioned Mme. de Plougastel
arsd her servant.”
“Then why M. de Kercadiou
broke off, looking his question.
Very solemnly Andre-Louis shook
his head.
“That is impossible,” he said.
Mr. de Kerendicu’s mouth fell open'

repeated. “But why?”

CHAPTER XI.
Into the late afternoon of that end
less day of horror with its perpetual
alarms, its volleying musketry, roll
ing drums, and distant muttering of
angry multitudes, Mme. de Plougastel
and Aline sat waiting in 'that hand
some house in the Rue du Paradis. It
was no longer for Rougane they wait
ed. They waited'for whatever might
betide.
Suddenly madame's young foot
man, Jacques, the most trusted of her
servants, burst into they* presence
unceremoniously with a scared face,
bringing the announcement that a
man who had just climbed over the
garden wall professed himself a friend
of madame’s, and
brought immediately
“Bring him in,”
breathlessly.
Jacques went out,
ently accompanied by a tall man in a
long, shabby overcoat and a wide-
brimmed hat that was turned down
all round, and adorned by an enor
mous tricolor cockade. This hat he
removed as he entered.
The young footman wondered what
it was in the mail’s face, which was
turned from him, that should cause
his mistress to cry out and recoil.
Then he - found' himself dismissed
abruptly by a gesture.
The newcomc advanced to the mid
dle of the salon, moving like a man
exhausted and breathing hard. JThere
he leaned against a table, across
which lie confronted Mme. de Plou
gastel. And she stood regarding him,
a strange horror in her eyes.

out. But he possessed himself, and
played the Stoic. He must ever be
playing something.
“I see,” he said, at last, quite coolly.
His mind was sweeping back over
the past, Swiftly he reviewed his
memories of Mme. de Plougastel.
“I see,” he said again; and added
now, “Of course, any but a fool would
have’guessed' it long ago.”
He sat down abruptly, to conceal
the too-i’evealing fact that his limbs
were shaking. He pulled a handker
chief from his pocket to mop his brow,
which had grown damp. And then,
quite suddenly, he found himself
weeping.
At the sight of those tears stream
ing silently down that face that had
turned so pale, M. de Kercadiou came
quickly across to him. He sat down
beside him and threw an arm affec
tionately over his shoulder.
“Andre, my poor lad,” he murmur
ed. ”... I was fool enough to think
you had no heart.”
“It is nothing, monsieur. I am
tired out, and . . . and I have a cold
in the head.” .And then, finding the
part beyond has power, he abruptly
threw it up, utterly abandoned all
pretence. “Why . . . why has there
been all this mystery?” he asked.
“Was it intended that I should never
know?”
“The reason, my boy, is that you
were born some three years after your

A King Passes
King Ferdinand's illndss, says an
Associated Press dispatch from ths
Roumanian capital, “dates back sev-
eral years, and the actual-^cause of
his death - was cancer,” And in the
New York Times we read:
“The death of King Ferdinand I puts
the Crown, for the present at any rate,
on the head of a five-year-old boy,
Prince Mihai, or Michael, the son of1
Prince Carol, elder gon of Ferdinand
and Queen Marie, Prince Carol re
nounced his rights to the succession
in December, 1925, and a royal decree
was promulgated naming the young
Prince Mihai as . heir-presumptive.
During his minority the country .will
be administered by a regency au
thorized by the Parliament, composed
of Prince Nicholas, second son of the
King; the Patriarch Miron Christea,
and M. Buzdugan, First President of
the Supreme Court.
“Ferdinand was one of the most pic
turesque of the few European rulers
who succeeded in retaining their
thrones during and after the World ,
W&r. Pie was tall, and despite his
broken health during the last year!
or two, carried himself with dignity,
He was born in Prussia on August 25,!
1865, and ascended the throne on the
deatfi of his uncle, King Charles I, on ■
October 11, 1914.
’"For the past .two years King
Ferdinand had been in poor health,
but owing to a rigid censorship es
tablished over the press of Roumania,
authentic reports of his physical condl-I
tion were not available. The King’s •
illness took a serious turn early this
year.
“Toward the latter part of May, how
ever, he recovered sufficiently to per
mit liis removal to his summer resi
dence on the Black Sea. Specialists
were summoned from other European ]
capitals last month to treat the King/’
but after an examination -of the mon-
arch they made a statement that it
was impossible to operate on the can
cer from which he was suffering, be-.
cause of his frail constitution. . 1
“The death of the King, Wliile it
places the regency in tho hands of
three others, virtually leaves the coun
try with Premier Jon Bratiano as-flts
strong man. With PrincS Carol still
in exile in Paris and the center cf the
discontented forces of the country,
there is the possibility that an attempt
at .a. coup d’etat in his favor may some
time be made.
RADIO ON TRAINS
A breakem, /suiting in a caboose of
a freight-train and an engineer in the
cab of a,locomotive a mile and a quar
ter* down the track'talked to one an
other by radio at Schenectady, New,
York, on June 16, as easily as two
•persons would carry on a conversa
tion by ordinary telephone. The tests
were made by Engineers of the Gen
ial Elctrisc Company. Transmission
was on a short wave-length and low
power, to avoid interference with
broadcast reception. Say® Guy Bart
lett, in a press bulletin issued by the
electric company:
“Caboose and engine carried identi
cal apparatus—a transmitter and a re
ceiver. Both locomotive and caboose
were equipped with a double antenna,
one for transmitting and the other for
receiving. Communication wa® es
tablished at' either end of the train
by the simple act of removing a receiv
er and pressing a button. The pres
sure of 'the button called the otlifer
station by causing a howling sound in
the reproducer or loud-speaker at the
receiving end.
“The test demonstrated „that Com
munication may bd carried on with
comparative ease on a moving train.
Radio-communication, according to
railroad men, will be most .valuable,
particularly on trains consisting of 70
to 125 cars, Qti such train® the engi
neer and conductor are separated by
nearly a mile of cars, and there is no
positive means of communication be
tween them. Signals are usually ex
changed by meanfe of whistle or flare
lights1, which often fail from curvature 1
of the tracks or weather conditions.
Should a defect develop on these long
trains', the conductor must either send
a brakeman over the top of the train
or stop the train by operating the con
ductor-valve, either of which would
cause a delay.
“Radio-communication,, as provided
by these sets, gives a positive means
of instant communication ancfi will
materially expedite ifaln movement
on main line® as well as in the yards.
“A sufficient number of sets have
been constructed to permit road de
monstrations of communication, be
tween tho engine and caboose of long
trains, communication between near
by fixed pointy (such as the signal
tower) and the locomotive engineer or ■
conductor, and communication be
tween the yard master and Che locomo
tives used in making up a train in
large classification yard®.” *

EGYPTIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM
As the 'procession moved along,
bands blared the Eg*yptian . National
Anthem, and hundreds of Britons
suddenly caught themselves humming
j the snatch of an old song:
Said the Old Obadiah
To the Young Obadiah,
“I am dry, Obadiah,
“I am dry!”
Said the Young Obadiah
To the Old Obadiah,
• “So am I, Obadiah,
. “So am"I!”
The hummers hummed not wanton
ly, not scurrilously, but with excellent
reason. Sixty .years ago ’“Obadiah”'
was the rage' fln London when that
capital was visited by King Fuad’s
father, the late Khedive of Egypt,
Ismail Pasha.
Upon returning to Egypt the Khe
dive summoned a great compccer,
Verdi. “I avishr' you to write music
for a national anthem,” said Ismail.
“Like' this! Listen. I shall whistle.”'
The great Verdi listened. The Khe
dive whirled “Obadiah.” Scon the-
Egyptian National Anthem was com
posed.

Golf is the dourest of games, not
excepting knitting and cross-word
puzzles. The man who says “G-ood J
putt, Mac,” lays himself open .to the
just rebuke of “Chatter-r-r-box!”
You can’t begin golf too early—if
' you must begin it at all. The best
players are those who have been
. taught to lisp “ni-blick” at ,their
; mother’s knee ap'd to get .an over
lapping grip on their bottles.

' advisable to get acclimatized as early
as possible to the ferocious leg-wear

jil'bal Islands—which golf convention
demand's. 's.
I If you weren’t bora to golf, and
haven’t got a clause permitting you
to indulge in the vice incorporated in
, your marriage settlement, it’s a pretty
serious affair to take it up in later
life. The only way is to m-ake your
self so unpleasant to your wife (it
cc-mes naturally to most husbands)
that she thinks it a good riddance.
But first you must become profi
cient in bad1 language. You can’t hope
to play golf unless you have taken
the big D.D. degree.
