which suffered terrific losses due to the flood. ;
Ring wiffsouf a counfry
b Robert Bruce
BEGIN HERE TODAY
Surrending his. throne for
the love of Ardath Richmond,
Canadian-born actress, Paul
I, King of Northumbra, be
comes private citizen Paul
Ferrone, and quickly he finds
he has made a bad bargain.
He tires of the Countess Di
Marco, Reggie Van Twyne, the
American playboy, and the
rest of the gay crowd that fol
low him at his villa on the
Bay of St. Francis. He takes
the advice of his ofd tutor, Dr.
Sonders, and travels, buys a
boat, travels some more, but
always he is restless, aiways
the shadow of his throne
hovers over him.
Finally he and Ardath quarrel
about her friends. Paul takes
more and more to seclusion in
his boat. One day he suggests
to Ardath they have a child.
“Paul,” she cries, “are you in
sane?” After that they cool
toward each other increasingly.
Then one night at a villa
party Paul hears Reggie Van
Twyne asking Ardath to leave
Paul for him. The next morn
ing Paul tells Ardath he is
going back to’ Northumbra, to
get a hold on'‘himself; asks
her to wait for him.
Arriving at Gailport, on the
coast of Northumbra, where
he was once hailed as a savior
in the coal fields, Paul visits
an inn, finds the new king is
about ‘to visit the town the
next day. Then he asks, “What
about King Paul?” “Oh, we
liked him all right,” says a
miner, “but he was a light
weight.”
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XII
i All the rest of that day and
evening Paul wandered idly about
]Gailport, unrecogonized and lone
ly, drifting from one casual group
to another, asking questions and
directing “each conversation to the
subject of the Kking. )
When he went to bed, at last,
!in the cabin of his sloop, he had
j to admit that the thing he had
| come back to Gailport to find had
| eluded him. For he had come back
[to bask in the radiance of the old
| days—to snuggle up against the
warm love his people had once
]had for him—and he found that it
no longer existed.
The truth of the matter was
that they had. simply forgotten
him. They did not look back at
his reign with the fond longing he
had imagined; they did né6t Ilook
back at all until someone reminded
them of it, as he had been doing;
and then their attitude was one of,
“Oh yes—King Paul. Ta be sure:

e
he was before King Joseph, wasn't
he?”
Here and there he found a faint
note of hostility; a feeling that
King Paul had deserted them, had
fled when they needed him. But
for the most part that was absent.
In the space of a brief year he
had become an obscure figure in
history; a person one remember
ed when his name was mentioned,
but not one that anybody looked
back to with any desire or yearn
ing. »
When he got up the next morn
ing he found the little city decked
out with flags and buntigg in
honor of the expected visit of Jo
seph. Each house, no matter how
humble, had found some means of
putting on a festive aspect. Stores
sold cheap lithograrhs of the
king, and these arpeared in almost
every window. Small, crudely let
tered signs, “God Bless Our King,”
were strung over gateposts and
alleyways., A holiday had been de
clared, and innumerable ¢hildren,
joyous at their release from se¢hool,
were already massing in a vast
group on the common, tiny flags
clutched unwontedly clean fists,
while anxious teachers scurried
about to make sure that their
charges would give the monarch a
proper welcome,
By 10 o'clock the sidewalks were
crowded. Paul found a place by
the pedestal of a dust-grimed war
memorial, at the entrance to the
common. A pang of memory as
sailed him as he recocnized the
memorial; he had dedicated it, 15
years ago, as crown prince. He
climbed on a granite abutment so
that hg could look over the throng.
and waited.
Far off, at last, he heard the
sound of music and chp’e’riixt.{
The noise came in intermittent
burst, at first, and then swelled‘
'to a steady tide of sound, given.
rhythm by the blood-stirring pulse
or drums. It came nearer, and an
electric current seemed to pass
through the waiting crowd. They
could make out now the tramp of
marching feet, the blare of trum
pets and the shrill scream of the
fifes, and a wave of cheering came
sweeping in toward them as the
people hailed their king. g
There it came, at last, down the
street on the far side of the open
common. The regimental band of
a famous regiment of regulars—a
regiment that had fought the
kingls wars for three gcenturies,
and had the names of great bat
tles and obscure ones inscribed
on its banners—swung into view.
After it came the regulars them
selves, trim and grimly elegant in
blue and white, their gaitered ank
les twinkling, their rifles sloped
with rrofessional exactitude,
something elated &and c¢onfident
shining forth from the way they
stepped out, the way they held
their heads, the way they swung
their left arms. \
A mist came into Paul's eyes as
he watched them. His amber
spectacles fogged, and he impa
tiently jerked them off and thrust
them into his pocket. He had beén
honorary ecolonél of this regiment.
They were -his men; he knew all
of the officers and half of the meén:
They were great men and a great
regiment; he looked om with a
lump in his throat as the stéday
blue ranks swept. past him, the
jaunty caps bobbing o',ver’br%fi'!'és‘
faces. . ¥
Then, as the roar mounted to a
crescendo, there came an open:’
touring car. Standing in the ton
neau was a slight; straight tgure
in a plain business suit, bare~
headed, a white, earnest face look
in out over the town—Joseph
King of Northumbra.
The car moved abreast. Instinc
tively, Paul snatéhéd off his hat
and held it over his heart. He
stoood in an exrosed position, and
his sudden movement must have
caught the royal eye; Joseph
turned his head and looked
squarely at him, and Paul saw a
gtart of quick recognition, Th'eu‘

the car moved on again, a com-.
pany..of local militia rilled the
gap behind it—anrd the royal pa
geant had passed.
Faul climbed down. The crowd
was surging down the street, fol
lowing the parade, to find a place
by the waterfront where the cere
mony of breaking ground for the
new coal dock was to take place.
For want of anything better to do,
he followed.
, This, he told himself, was a
king’s only function—to be orna
mental at public occasions like
this: the laying of cornerstones,
the unveiling of statues, and the
Lllke. Well, he would go along
and see how Joseph did it. If it
was all a king could do, it at
least ought to be done well. He
would have a 100 k at it.
He followed the crowd, and came
out presently in an open space 0n
the waterfront. The morning was
gray, but the sun was trying to
shine; and even as Paul entered
the open space, and found 2 place
in the packed ranks, a :udden ray
‘of light rierced the clouds and Jit
up the bunting-draped - stand
where royalty had just taken ifs
place. The crowd took it as an
omen and roared approval. /Then
a band struck up the national
anthem, heads were bared, and
the whole city became silent as its
people lifted their voices in song.
Paul saw the slight figure step
to the front of the platform and
began to speak. The first words
were lost; then a shift of the wind,
or a diminution in the noises of
the crowd, let them through, and
he heard Joseph saying:
“ . . .and I like to think that
what we are doing here is to be
gin ‘a new battle—not a battle
against external foes, but a new
fight in the age-old campaign
against the eternal enemies of our
race; hunger, want, cold and mis
ery.
“The English had a great poet,
William RBlake, and he wrote some
great lines which I think we ean
borrow for our own nation. Let
me quote them to you:
. “And did the Countenance divine
Shine forth uron our cloudel hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanis mills?”
Joseph paused; then, gripping
the railing in front of him, he
leaned forward, his earnest young
face shining, and went on with the
poem in an impassioned voice that
reached every man in the great
throng:
“Bring me my Bow of burning
gold!
Bring me my Arrows of desire!
Bring me my Spear! 0O clouds,
unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
“I will not cease from mental
fight, ;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my
hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In this our green and pleasant
land!”
The young king remained leane
Ing forward, his face alight; and
suddenly the great crowd respon
ded, and a tremendous shout
went up to the sky, as the peopls
caught the vision he had held out
to them—the building of a white
and shining ecity amid their coal
tipples and slag heaps, the- con
structing of a braver and better
society, the vanquishing of the
ancient enemies of man, the un
ion of all faiths and all men in an
unending struggle to build on the
imperfect earth the holy <city of
God.
Paul found that he had left the
ecrowd, somehow, and was walking
along toward the wharf where he
had moored his sloop. The words
of Blake’s mightly poem ‘still rang
in his ears; before his eyes re
mained ther picture of his brothe
Jéseph, so young and so sincere,
standing tense before his subjects
and lighting in their hearts the
flame that enables men to tran
scend themselves. 5
And as he thought of this, there
came to Paui, at last, a realiza
tion of the full measure of hid
faflure. '
This, then, was what a king was
for nowadays; to reach up to
those lotty summits where the
great spirits dwell and bring down
a vision and @ hope for his people
It was not a dull and splrlfl%a
task, choked by endless formality
and meaningless ritual; it was the
highest task a man could be given.
It was this that he had turned his
back on, this that he had failed to
see, this tuat he had given up in
order to chase the will o' the wisp
freedom across Europe.
He walked dejectedly to the
wharf and descended to the cabin
of the sloop. Ashore, the cere
monies ended, people streamed
pack through the streets, city life
regamed its normal round, the day
wore away; and all the while Paul
‘sat alone in the cabin, his ehin in
his hands, thinking long and mel
ancholy thoughts.
He roused himself, at last, and
came on deck. Dusk had come;
night was vailing the bleak ugli
‘ness of the harbor, and the water
front was taking on a spangle of
lights. Paul stood by the mast,
looking dully at the foreshore.
A huge motor car came down
the nearest street and swung onto
the wharf. It halted, and a uni=
formed military aide got out. He
jooked awout for a moment, spied
the sloop, and walked griskly over
to 1. Halting at the edge of the
wharf, he clicked his heels and
saluted. &
“Sir" he said, “his majesty the
king would like to talk with you.
‘Will you come with me, please?”’
