man backed his wagon .to the ferry
house and announced that he would
take as many persons as could stand
on the floor of the truck across the
floor for five cents a piece. The truck
was quickly loaded. it had hardly
started on its way when several other
truckmen did likewise. Every ferry
boat was met by half a dozen truck-

hearing the usual cry of "Keb, Keb.

A COLONEL‘S SWAGGER.
Was Among the Causes of the Bloody
Tragedy in Servia's Capital.
One of the contributing causes, and
perhaps ihc greatest. to the revolution
ill Scrvln, in which King Alexander
and Quccn Drags perished. was Lieu-
tenant Coionel Nicodem Lunievics. one
of the Queen‘s younger brothers. When
Drugs, who had been a lady In waiting
to Alexander‘s mother, (ix-Queen Nat-
alie, became Queen. one of her first ac-
tions was to send Nicodem to Paris
to round out his education and obtain
a knowledge of French military meth-
ods. She had formed a great design
for the young man. her ambition being.
in the event that there would be no
issue to her marriage to Alexander.
to set him upon the Scrvian throne.
Possessing an unbounded influence
over King Alexander. Draga had no
difficulty in making him look upon her
scheme favorably, and in the designs
of the royal couple, Nicodom. who had
not a drop of royal blood in his veins.
was selected as hcir to the throne.
When Nicodem returned to Belgrade
from Paris he swaggered about the
streets as though his succession to the
throne was already settled, and re-
fused to salute his superior officers. on
the ground that he, as the Queen's
brother. had the right to expect their
salute nl‘Bl. He was a reckless gam-
bler and made debts of honor which
Queen Draga was obliged to pay to
keep them quiet. On several occasions
he became involved in brawls in the
streets of Belgrade and in restaurants
and cafes there-and his name was
frequently mixed in scandals of various
kinds.
This conduct gave offense to the peo-
ple and to the military. A few Weeks
before the tragedy Nicodem had left
Belgrade and it was his return to the
capital. coupled with the fear that
Alexander would proclaim him heir to
the throne, that hastened the conspira-
cy to its bloody sequel. Had Queen
Drags not toyed with the succession to
the throne she might still be Queen.
Among those to perish wore Nico-
dem and his, brother. the conspirators

bidding them sink-ace each other be-
