The ivind
Of Government He
Bv JO N G LARNED
"In any event. r>e crown prince
must not t»e exposed." said Von Bern
stein.
"Which means that I must lose my
self to the world."
The reply was ramU by Count Ester
bolT. on whose person had been found
a pacts of uiarb*-d cards. A party of
young noblemen and the prince had
be:-n playli'.i lm<-< r::t- His royal
highness had lost heavily, and Ester
boff had won. In unler to"force the
latter to return Ills winnings the
prince, who sat near the winner, slip
ped the marked pack Into his pocket
and then accused him of baring won
his money by cheating. To prove his
accusation he demanded that Esterhoff
be searched, and the cards were found.
No one was deceived, nor whs It In
tended that any one should be deceiv
ed. Tlie s' heme was to effect the re
turn of the money the prince bad lost
to Esterhoff without fe belr apparent
being obliged to deuean himself by
aceeptirK It as a gift.
"There is a way out of It If you
choose to avail yoi-»elf of It" said
Bernstein.
"What way?"
"Give np what yon nave won to the
prince ami me r utur will be bushed
up."
"That would be to acknowledge my
self guiHy. I prefer to appear guilty
to the world and preserve my own self
respect"
"Nonsense, count. It i< ou~ duty to
preserve the sovereign from reproach.
He Jx'lonirs to Ihe .sejjple. Let them
I lose confidence to biro And wtfit fol
! lows? Anarchy."
Esterhoff stood Arm. He was ex
cluded from tbe priDce'a set on tbe
ground tbat tie bad need marked cards.
Ho crave his winnings to tbe poor,
which was considered a proof that his
conscience had Id tbe end got the bet
ter of him. Under tbe name of Peter
Eaterboff be went to America. His
family estates bad been lost by his fa
ther, and tt was his ambition to make
money and redeem tbem.
Twenty years rolled by. The crown
prince bad become king coder tbe title
of Oscar VIII. He had remained a
gamble' and a spendthrift, though the
111 success to recoup his to—ea with
Count Eaterboff had kept him from
trying such a method again. Daring
tbe two decades that bad since passed
be bad become personally bankrupt
All tbat tared him waa that tbe
wealthy nobility, fearing that If be col
lapsed be would carry the government
and them down' with him, kept him
afloat
A wealthy American came to the
capital and took a residence. He waa
onmarrled and lived entirely alone.
Nobody knew why be had come, why
he remained or what be did with'him
self. Bankers knew that be had
brought with him unlimited credit
from America, and It seemed to them
that the money be drew waa expended
for something, though they did not
know what
One day tbe king received notice
from a lawyer that one of his notes
which was due must be paid at onceL
Oscar forwarded the note through his
chamberlain to • noble who had bees
appointed by the other nobles to ttflce
care of tbe king*a debts. Tbe amount
wan paid, but other similar notices
cau;e pouring In so fast that It waa
found impossible to take care of them.
□ is majesty waa Informed tbat there
mis danger of a public scandal. Many
of these claims were for money ad
vanced for .Illegitimatejrarpoeea. The
king aske^ who was pressing uivn> II
and wan told that an American maid I
millionaire was supposed to be at the
bottom of It alL
One mornlntr t!ie Amcrlraa lecelved
• "command" to appear at the palace.
Qe replied that he bad no wiah to visit
the king: If tbe king wished,to see Tin
be would Cod film at borne. The next
day tbe royal carriage stopped at tbe
American's house; tbe king alighted
and was received In tbe drawing room.
"I bare called " sa!<l Oscar, "to lenrn
the meaning of your baring bought op
claims against me and pressing tbem
for payment"
"Perhaps your majesty may remem
ber when you were crown prince slip,
ping a pack of marked carfla into my
pocket"
"Tour pocketr
"I am Count Esterioff "
Tbe king blanched.
"I bare kept those cards," continued
Esterboff, "and would like to sell them
to your majesty."
"Dow much do yon ask tor tbeml"
Inquired Oscar after collecting bis fac
ulties.
"Two hundred thousand American
dollars for each card."
"Great heavens, man! What do-yon
mean?"
"I meat, that In my youth I Hred
under a system wherein the chief men
and women found It to their interest to
support Injustice. If your people still
feel tbe same in this matter let them
raise *10,400.000 and be/ tbe cards. ]
hold your notes to that amount, and
the" notes will go wirh the cards."
After a jrrest effort those whose for
tunes depended on tbe stability of tbe
government raised tbe amount As
fast aa the money came In they would
redeem one or more cards and corre
sponding notes till all wese taken ujx
Then Esterboff Instead of redeeming
Us family domains went back to
America. He said be bad no nn for
a government except of the people, by
tbe people and for tbe people.
