ORLEANS COUNTY MONITOR WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 3, 1917
A MEETING
1 ROYALTY
X By MARGARET DODGE
Copyright, by Shortstory Puo. Co.)
It was not according to the sched
ule that the special train, consisting
of a locomotive, an empty baggage
car, and the regally equipped private
car, Prlscilla, should stop for three
quarters of an hour at Mayville Junc
tion. Indeed, in his instructions, the
Great Man who was the car's sole oc
cupant had provided for a wait of only
five minutes. It is a matter of record,
however, that for 45 minutes the offi
cial train waited at the lonesome little
station on the Indiana prairie. What
happened in those 45 minutes is now
for the first time given to the public.
After the Great Man who was no
other than the president of the A. M.
& P. Trunk line, which joins the At
lantic ocean with the great lakes
after the Great Man had taken a per
functory turn about the little station
and had asked a few stereotyped
questions of the station agent, he went
back to his seat in the Priscilla's
whlte-and-gold drawing-room, and sat
down to a game of solitaire. Being a
very young president not over forty
the Great Man was not specially
fond of solitaire. But he was still
less fond of the thoughts engendered
by a two-weeks' solitary tour of in
spection through the flat, drab, ma
larial country of the middle west.
After prolonging his luncheon to the
latest possible hour, and extracting all
the comfort to be obtained from a
single mild cigar, he found himself
longing to exchange his gold-and-white
grandeur for even the plebeian red
velvet of a day coach, where he could
observe the vagaries of country bridal
couples, and invite the confidence of
smudgy small boys with prize pack
ages of magenta lozenges.
It was while the Great Man was in
dulging in these vain visions, much to
the dettriment of his success at coli-
xaire, uiat ne was siaruea Dy inese
words, spoken in a shrill little voice,
apparently just at his back:
"If you please, sir, are you the
king?"
The moment that elapsed before the
Great Man could whirl about in the di
rection of the voice was long enough
for several detached bits of "Alice in
"Wonderland" to flit through his brain.
"What he saw, however, when faced
around, was simply a very solemn,
very pale little girl who stood with
one thin hand on the door knob, and
one small scarlet-stockinged leg well
advanced, while her hazel eyes
gleamed at him anxiously from under
a fuzzy brown hat.
"Really," said the Great Man, good
humoredly, "I don't know why, yes,
now that you speak of it I suppose
I am a sort of king. At least I believe
newspapers call me a railroad king.
Won't you come here and sit down?"
The small girl shut the door and
slid to his side in a gait that com
bined a hop and a glide. "I suppose
it isn't just the thing to sit down in
the presence of royalty," she said, as
she perched on the edge of a big tapestry-cushioned
Turkish chair. "But you
see, I am a princess myself a fairy
princess," she added, with an em
phatic shake of her fluffy yellow locks.
"Indeed." The "Alice in Wonder
land" memories suddenly revived.
"That's very interesting, and I don't
like to doubt the word of a lady. But
all the fairy princesses of my ac
quaintance have had wings and
spangles, and carried star-tipped
wands and and all that," concluded
the Great Man vaguely.
"But that was because you saw
them during the performance," said
the small girl, clasping her thin little
fingers over one scarlet-stockinged
knee. "I wear wings and spangles and
carry a wand myself, in the evenings,
and at the Wednesday and Saturday
matinees. I'm the Princess Iris," she
explained, "in the Golden Crown opera
company; and if I wore my "fairy
clothes all the time my wings would
fade and the spangles would wear off.
"But you know," said the small
girl, "you don't look a bit like the
kings of my acquaintance. They all
wear gilt crowns and velvet and er
mine robes, and carry scepters. And,
besides, you are a great deal too
young."
The Great Man laughed. "I am
afraid you have me there; at least,
I mean, I suppose, you are right," said
he, leaning back in his chair and re
garding Princess Iris with twinkling
eyes. "I don't look my part. But,
then, I am not performing now my
self. We are in the same boat that
Is" t
"Oh, you needn't bother to explain,"
said the small girl, "I understand
slang. Only I don't talk it myself, now,
except when I forget, because the
Queen doesn't like it."
"So there is a queen, too, is there?"
said the Great Man, the merry lines
around hi3 blue eyes growing deeper.
"Dear me, we shall soon have the en
tire royal family."
"Yes, there is a queen, and she Is
not to be laughed at," said the child
gravely. "In fact, it's partly about
her. I've come. I I wanted an audi
ence." "Well, really," said the man nerv
ously, . "I should like to accommodate
you, but" looking at his watch "my
train leaves in about one minute, and
I don't see exactly how I can."
"Oh, my!" said the small girl, "can't
you even make your own train wait
while a princess talks to you?"
"Well, since you put it that way, I
suppose I can," said the Great Man,
pressing an electric button. Then, as
the black porter appeared, listened
deferentially to his whispered order
and glided out again, the royal person
age continued:
"Very likely I don't get half the fun
out of being a king that I might. You
see, I sometimes forget the extent of
my power."
"Ah! yes, that's the very thing I've
come to speak to you about," said the
child. "I I hope you will excuse me
if I hurt your feelings," she went on
gently, "but sometimes it's necessary,
you know."
Upon her hearer's assurance that be
would endeavor to bear up under cen
sure, the small girl continued:
"It's like this; I s'pose you've such
a big kingdom you don't get a chance
to straighten out all the things that
go wrong."
"And something has gone wrong,
now, has it?"
"Yes, as wrong as can be. But," re
assuringly, "of course I understand
you couldn't have known about it.
It's the train to Washita. It was put
down on the time-table, you know, to
go at four this afternoon, and we all
came down to the station to get it.
And now they say it may be two
hours before it arrives; so, instead of
getting to Washita at half-past six, it
will be long after nine, and we'll be
too late to give our performance. And
that will be a very d-r-eadful loss to
the Queen."
"How's that?" said the Great Man.
"One night can't make very much dif
ference." "Oh, but this is Saturday night, and
the whole house was sold long ago.
Washita's the best show town in the
state, you know, and the Queen was
counting on the money.
"You see, it's been a dreadfully poor
season in the profession, and even the
Queen has lost heaps. And just now
when she found out we'd be late, her
face got all white, and she hung onto
my hand, oh, so hard, and said "
Here the child stopped suddenly and,
digging her little fists into the chair,
blinked very fast and caught her
breath. Then:
"It quite upsets me to think of it,"
she said in a muffled little voice. "The
Queen said that she was afraid that
the company would have to disband
now, and the season's hardly begun."
Two great tears rolled down the
white little face.
The man stirred uneasily. There
was a deep line between his eye
brows. "That is hard luck!" he exclaimed.
"But, then," with an affected hardi
hood, "after all she's only a play
queen, you know, and I presume she's
well roughed it before. Anyway,
you'll probably all find nice engage
ments soon, and be just as well off as
you are now."
"How can you say that?" the child
flashed out. "Of course we can't be
so happy with anyone else. There
never was anyone half so sweet, and
kind, and beautiful as she is. And we
all love her dearly. And, besides, if
the rest are make-believes, she isn't;
she is a real queen all the time!"
The child had risen. Her shabby
hat had fallen to the floor and her big
hazel eyes blazed angrily out of her
pale little face. The next moment,
with a shame-faced lowering of her
head, she slid nearer to the Great
Man's side.
"I you must excuse me if I hurt
your feelings," she said humbly. "The
Queen wouldn't like it if she thought
I'd done that, and on her account, too;
but, you see, I really couldn't bear to
have her called a make-believe. And
now," she continued, "I think I'll go
back to the station. My auntie and
the Queen will be wondering where
I am."
"Wait a minute," said the man,
drawing the child to his side. "I want
to know more about this real Queen.
You know they say all the royal fam
ilies are connected, and she may be a
relative of mine."
"No, she isn't," said the small girl,
leaning a little shyly against the royal
shoulder; "because she told me once
that she had no relations left since
her father died. You see, she used to
live in a big palace im New York in
the winter and a stone castle in New
port In the summer, and she had
horses, and carriages, and diamonds,
and and all those things. But she
wasn't a queen because she had them,
you know, but they belonged to her
because she was a queen.
"Well, one day her father died, and
they found he'd lost all his money,
and some that belonged to other ped
ple besides, so the Queen had to " go
on the stage and get some money to
take care of herself and to pay back
what he he borrowed, you know. And
that was four years ago, and now
she's paid back all Mr. Denbigh's
debts except $2,000 "
"Mr. Denbigh!"
"Why. what's the matter?" said the
child, half turning. "Ain't you feeling
well? Your arm trembles so."
"Oh, yes; quite well. Only I felt so
sorry for your Queen."
"I knew you would," said the child,
enthusiastically. "Well, as I told
you, she paid it all back except just
that $2,000, and this season she ex
pected to finish it. And that made her
so happy, because she doesn't like be
ing a make-believe queen, and it was
only on her father's account she did
it."
"You're sure it was only that? She
didn't care to be famous, after all?"
said the Great Man, clutching the tiny
hand hard.
"Why, how queer your voice sounds,"
said the little girl in a motherly tone.
"I'm sure you can't be feeling well or
you wouldn't say such , thing. I
should think that being a king your
self you'd know that when a person's
been a real queen once she wouldn't
care about being a make-believe one."
"But that's just like men; they
never do understand. Now there was
one that the Queen knew. She told
me just a little about him one day
when things seemed very make-believe
to her. She put it in a kind of story,
you know, but I liked her so much I
knew who it was about.
"Do you know, he thought just what
you did, because she wouldn't marry
him instead of going off for what he
called a a 'career?' And he'd known
her ever since she was a little girl,
too, and ought to have known better,
oughtn't he?"-
"Yes,", said the Great Man huskily,
"I suppose he ought. But you see the
Queen didn't tell him about about the
money she was paying back. And she
was a great deal younger than he, and
beautiful, with a voice that people said
would make her famous, and he
thought that she really cared more to
be a stage queen than anything else.
"Tell me, dear, has she still the ring
that he gave her when she was a little
girl?"
"The teenty little forget-me-not
ring that she wears on a chain and
often kis But how did you know?"
stammered the child, twisting, around
and staring up Into his face. "I never
told you the rest, and your eyes are so
strange "
But the Great Man had risen and
was striding rapidly up and down the
car. "And Alice really cared for me
she cares for me still," he murmured.
"While I, who ought to have stood by
her have only hindered her. And now
she needs help, . and I with all my
money haven't the right to help her.
It's too late I can never make up for
the time I've lost "
"I hope you don't mind," said the
small girl who stood as if petrified just
where he had left her; "but you spoke
so loud I couldn't help hearing the last.
And if you mean the train to Wishita,
it isn't too late. If you could get it
here in 15 minutes and I s'pose that's
easy, for a king we could give the
performance, even if the curtain did
ring up late."
"Train to Washita," murmured the
Great Man "Why, yes; of course!
How stupid of me," as he pressed the
electric button. "Let's see, how many
are there of you?"
"Twenty-two now," said the child,
"but I don't quite"
"And you haven't had the best of
fare in the hotels?"
"Well, it hasn't been very bad, but
yesterday and to-day we've pretended
we didn't want any lunch, because we
knew how things were with "
"Never mind," said the man with
something like a groan, "I only wanted
to know on account of the orders."
Then to the porter: "Ask the con
ductor to step here."
"The Golden Crown opera company
have been delayed here," he said,
when that official appeared, "and I
want them to take this special train
to Washita. Put the whole party in
my private car. Tell the engineer he
must make extra time to get them
there at 6:30. Telegraph ahead for a
clear track, and to Casstown for sup
plies, so that dinner may be served in
this car. When the train is ready to
start step over to the station and tell
the company that the train for
Washita is waiting. And be sure that
everything is done to make them
comfortable. I will follow on the reg
ular express."
As the conductor withdrew, the
Great . Man found himself suddenly
caught in the embrace of what seemed
a small-sized tornado. "You really
mean it?" cried the child, half sobbing.
"We're not going to disband, after all!
Oh, I was sure from the beginning that
you were a really, truly king, even If
you didn't wear a crown and velvet
robes. But," with a sudden clouding
of her face, "you won't go away Just
when the Queen's coming?"
"Well, you see, the fact is," said the
Great Man, setting the Princess care
fully in the depths of the Turkish
chair, "these meetings with royalty
are so unusual for me that I feel hard
ly prepared for another one the same
day. So I think I'll follow in a com
mon car. And in the morning I'll ask
for a private audience with the
Queen."
Why Soldiers Leave the Army.
Four army officers sat at luncheon
In a Washington cafe and discussed
the heavy annual desertions and pon
dered on the causes which in one year
made 4,551 men and one officer take
French leave. The snow-haired major
who led the discussion told one of his
experiences. He said:
"Recently at a western post where
I went to make an inspection a com
pany was called out for parade. It
consisted of nine men. At dress pa
rade five companies were massed as
one. A brigade could not be mus
tered. Some companies in the service
at the present time resemble a cor
poral's squad.
"The reasons? I saw some figures
which tell the story. Seventy men se
cured discharges in the middle west a
couple of years ago and they have alj
been traced. Of the 70, 56 are em
ployed at salaries ranging from $75 to
$220 a month." Van Norden Maga
zine. Growing Suspicious.
"You should remember that a public
official is but a servant of his coun
try." "Yes," answered young Mrs. Torkins,
"but aren't a few of them a little like
the servant we used to have who went
home every night with a market bas
ket on her arm?"

Vermont Campaign for League to
Enforce Peace.
The Vermont Branch of the League
to Enforce Peace, under the leader
ship of Judge Henry C. Ide of St.
Johnsbury, a newly elected member
of the American Branch of the
League, has now organized its execu
tive committee which met in Mont
pelier recently.
The executive committee consists
of Dr. Guy Potter Benton, chairman,
president University of Vermont, Bur
lington; Hon. Charles W. Gates,
Montpelier; Joseph Fairbanks, St.
Johnsbury; Hon. John Abner Mead
of Rutland; Hon. Horace F. Graham,
Montpelier; James B. Estee, Montpe
lier; Hon. James Hartness, Spring
field; ex-officio, Judge Henry C. Ide,
president, St. Johnsbury; Ralph E.
Flanders, secretary and treasurer,
The primary object of the League
to Enforce Peace is to make war less
probable by the establishment of an
international court or some other
suitable body which will have the
backing of all nations, with force or
economic pressure if necessary.
It is understood that the United
States could not take part in such a
league without the consent of the
American people. At the present
time there are state branches in 44 of
the 48 states of the union. The Ver
mont committee is organized on the
same plan as committees in other
states.
John C. Burg, district secretary for
New England, was present at the
Montpelier meeting which was a
most interesting and enthusiastic one,
and suggested to the Vermont com
mittee a program for an educational
campaign to be conducted through
out the state during the next few
months, to make known the objects of
the League to Enforce Peace to the
people of Vermont.
Mr Burg stated the league's plat
form briefly, as follows:
A League of Nations with (1) a
world court, (2) a council of concili
ation, (3) a boycott and an interna
tional military force against an ag
gressor who refuses to arbitrate, (4)
world conferences to develop interna
tional law.
It is expected to hold meetings in
many of the larger centers in Ver
mont, the first probably to be held in
Montpelier March 8, when Hon. Wil
liam Howard Taft, president of the
American Branch of the League to
Enforce Peace, will be the chief
speaker.
Roderic M. Olzendam was selected
as executive secretary to carry out
the program as outlined by the execu
tive committee. Mr. Olzendam's of
fice will be in Burlington.
Tailor Knew Him.
"My tailor has promised to have my
suit done tomorrow." "Do you think
he'll give it to you on time?" "Oh, no ;
I'll have to "pay cash." Boston Transcript.

To be in the FRONT RANK of FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
in our State is both justifiable and laudable. For 34 years we have
striven to provide for every need of our patrons, at the $ame time
laboring to create the strength and security with which every well
conducted bank should surround its responsibilities. The measure
of our success is to be found in our record and the constantly
creasing list of satisfied customers.
But our ambition grows with our business and
each year's added experience gives us confidence
to believe that we may yet serve a much larger
number of those in need of banking facilities.
Our business by mail, increasing as it does
each month, indicates a widening of the territory
we serve, and tbe steady growth of our Trust
Department is evidence of the acceptance of the
modern idea that enables anyone to be relieved
of the burden of managing investments and
