Zaimis has dedined to form - a Cabinet to succeed that of M. Ven- izelos, which resigned Saturday. and that King Constantine will summon ML. Gour'naa-is, deputy for Patras. for the task. The Greek Cabinet’s resignation in the first place was caused by the pro- German lesnings of the Greek King, and the clamor for war on the side of thesnies by his sub- iects. The Queen of Greece is a sister of the Kaiser: which may account for the King’s stand. though he owes his throne to the influence of Great Britain, France and Russia. who supply the monev for the payment of his salary.

Tom ' A SERIAL STORY BY B.:’.R§.x7;55 BERTHA VM SUWNER I stood resigned in daily expectation that death would take the rest or us. I actually wept in anticipation of it. Yet in the thought of their deliverance I still had sweet moments. And as this hope and compassion and love i still glow ed in us as individuals, might it not some day come to dominate the general relations of the whole human itamily? The future belongs to Good- lness. aâ€"uo was nuts cam (Iii many an oificer, so ’he tragedy of this Indirect death was quite blunted. Besides, this event was swallowed up by a mis- 3 fortune which sounded the deepest’ agonies of all our hearts. Otto. the adored and only son was in the clutch of the destroying angel. All day, an: night, with alternating hope and de-i spair, he suffered. ‘ When all was over his father threw himself upon the body with such a piercing shriek that it rang through the house. We had to tear them apart, and for hours and hours the old man poured out his cries of anguishâ€" giying vent to groans and roars. and rattling shrieks of desperation. His son. his Otto, his pride, his all! liter this outbreak he succumbed to a dumb apathy. He lay as one motionless and unconscious, and was put to bed. When he came to himself, Frederick and I and Aunt Marie were at his bed side. He could not speak, and was struggling for breath. Then he began to shake and toss about. as it in the last symptoms or the cholera, though he had shown no other sign. At last he uttered one wordâ€" ‘Martha. ” I fell on my knees beside him. "Father, my poor, dear tather!" He lifted his hands over my head. “Your wishâ€"ls fulfilled. I curseâ€"‘- 1 ourâ€"" He sank back. All was “How dreadful." said Aunt Marie, after we had buried him, “he died with a curse on his lips.” “Console yourself.” I answered. “If only that curse would fall from every lipâ€"what a blessing to humanity." Such was the cholera week at Gmmltz. In seven days ten of our group were taken. In the village over eighty died. Stated thus coldly It makes a scarcely noteworthy report. Told as a story it seems an extrava- gant tale. But it is neither a dry fact nor an ov'erdrawn romance. It is a cold, palpable, sad reality. We spent the remainder of the sum- mer in Geneva, Dr. Bresser having urged us to flee from the infected country and the scene of so much sor- row. The depth of apathy and resig- nation which had overcome me made. flight seem almost useless and dis- tasteful to me; besides, I ""1 not wish to leave the graves of my family. But the doctor conquered my objections when he appealed to my duty as a mother, and begged me to take little Rudolf out of danger. We chose Switzerland because Frederick wished to become acquaint- ed with the men who had formed the Red Cross society. He wished to be on the spot, and inform himself as to their object and further aims. He had resigned from the military service, and took a. half-year’s leave of absence awaiting its acceptance. I was now richâ€"very rich. The entire family being goneâ€"gm was mine. 'Look. Frederick," I said, as the notary delivered the title-deeds to me, “what would you say if I should praise the war because it has brought all this advantage to me?” “Then you would not be my Martha. 1 see you are thinking of the heart- lessness which can rejoice over ma» terial prosperity won by the destruc- tion of another’s good. Individuals are ashamed of such feelings, but nations rather delight in each other‘s destruction, and dynasties openly rnl vaingloriously admlt them. Thous- ands have perished in untold misery â€"we have ruined them to win {or our- selves territory and power. So let us thank Heaven for our victories!" Frederick often went into the city, making his study of the Red Cross. 0! this period 1 have no dai!y record, and whatFrederick told me of tho-e days has nearly passed out of Hg recollection. My one impression of this time, given me by every element or our environment, was that of quiet ease, and the cheerful activity of the neighborhood. Every one seemei 3) peaceful and goodvnumored. Hardly an echo of the war reached us. It was a’ready ailuied to as an anecdoce .0 history which had changed the-map, but sl'mht‘. . The terrific cannonad- We lived in quiet retirement in a little villa. close to the shores of the lake. I was still so overwhelmed with what I had passed through that I had no desire to meet strangers. My sym- pathetic husband quite understood my desire to weep out the sorrow of my torn heart in solitude. It is quite 't- ting that those who have been so mercilessly thrown out of this bezu’l- 1111 world should have some sacrzd til? allotted them in the memory of th se who, have been so cruelly rob. §bei of their c‘ompanionshlp. CHAPTER VI. “What can I do? I cannot foolishly ,hope personally to bring about such ' a revolution. I simply remarked that 'I would join the ranks of the peace iarmy. I did not suppose as a soldier ?that I could save my country or con- quer a province. No, the single man can only serve. Still more he must serve. One inspired with a purpose cannot help working for it. He takes his life for it, even though he knows how little this one life counts. He serves because he must. Not the State alone demands allegiance; sin- ;cere, strong convictions also oblige icompulsory service. mg m the Bofieminn field’s was'an in- teresting episode, a little more than a4 new Wagnerian opera, perhaps. Hil- tory had recorded it in its mybut it was soon forgotten by those who lived outside the stricken bohndaries. We saw mostly anch newspapers, and they were fll‘ed with the latest hap- penings in literature, drama, music, and the coming exposition. The sharp duel between the Pmssians and Ans- trians was an old story. What hap- pened three months ago and ”thirty miles away, what is not in the Now and the Here, soon slips out of the memory and loses its hold on the heart. â€"â€"'-â€"â€" w. October found us in Vienna settling the many affairs or my inheritance, and preparing for a considerable stay in Paris. The projected exposition 'oflered Frederick the best opportunity 10 carry out his idea at calling a con- ‘txress together with the idea of form- a league of peace. “The profess-ions of arms I have laid down through my convictions ‘ ined in war. Now I enlist in the gray of peace. Truly, it is a small y with 'no weapons save love and justice, but every great thing must there its email beginnings.” “Ah,” I sighed; “it via a hopeless york. What can a single man do against this stronghold, backed by cqnturies of custom and mil-lions of men?” It was twilight when we arrived, and sadly and silently we proceeded to the dread battlefield, filled with depression and grief. The snow was falling, the bleak trees were swaying in the wailing November wind. Tier .after tier the graves stretched out be- fore us, but not as in the quiet, rest- ful churchyard. These were not the ,graves of aged and weary pilgrims of |life gone to their eternal rest, but at :young men in the height of their :youthtul vigor, exulting in the fulness ‘of their manhood, tull'of rich expec- .tation in the future. Violently and imercilessly they had been hurled into Ethe ditch and the dust of the earth ishovelled over them. Who counts the ibroken hearts, the mangled bleeding glimbs, the cries of despair, the flood- ’lng tears, the hopeless prayers, the agonizing pains, the shrieks, the mad- dening submission to deathâ€"all is en- tombed in the eternal silence. Before going to Paris we planned a visit to Aunt Cornelia in Berlin. We hroke the Journey at Prague in order to spend “All Souls' Day” on the battlefield of Sadowa. .. War will have its charm so long as historians persist in setting up. for the leaders monuments of glory built out of the ruins of battle, and crown the Titans of public murder with laurels. Tear away the mask of glory and show its horror, and who would be madly ambitious enough to grasp for such fame? Everywhere the earth was heaped up. and we knew that even under our feet the soldiers' bodies were moulders , ins. We were not- alone on this burial field. The day had brought many both from the home country and the enemy’s country, ‘ both sought their loved ones in these acres of death. For hours we had heard the sobs and murmurs of lament, for many mourn- ers had come with us on the train. I heard a poor, heart-broken father say, “Three sons have I lostâ€"each one more noble and better than the other â€"â€"oh. my three sons!” I can hear it yet above all the other lamentings for fathers, husbands, and brothers which were poured out around us. . Many ofl‘lcers and soldiers wandered .among the other mourners. Evidently they had shared in the terrible con- :test. and were now making this pil- ‘grimage to honor their fallen com- ! rades. All about us black-robed figures knelt, and some, with sobs of pain, staggered from place to place hope- lessly searching their dead. But few single graves were to be seen, and few were marked by stone or inscrip- tion. We went to that part of the field where the largest number of friends and toes lay entombed together, in one enclosure. To this place the ma- jority of the pilgrims found their way, for here, naturally, they might expect their lost loved ones to be buried. Around this spot they set up their crosses and candles, and here they laid their wreaths and flowers as they knelt and sobbed out their sorrowing hearts. l Yes, it x as Francis Joseph the ruler [of the country. the supreme war lord. .and he had come on this All Souls’ IDay to offer 11' .s silent prayers for the lsouls of his dead children, his fallen lwan’iors.

In Berlin there reigned an evident spirit of jubilation. Even the useless street-loafer had an air of conscions victory. “We have given the other fellows a good thrashing" semed to give a certain air of couscous victary to every one. Yet nearly every family mourned for some never-tovbe- forgotten dead which lay on the bettle- fields of Germany and Bohemia. I dreaded meeting Aunt Cornelia again, for Gottfried had been her idol, her all; to measure her sorrow, l h‘vd only to fancy losing my Rudolf, if ne were a young manâ€"no, I did not dare. think it out. With beating hearts we entered Frau von Tessow’s house. Even in the entrance the deep mourning of the house was felt.
