Perhaps in no other gathering in the history of the world would the Vagabond have been so at home as at the National Parliament which met at Frankfort to create a united Germany, and which dispersed in the face of armed fact.

Among his perquisites will be $1,550 a year for three years, $500 travel money, an airy comfortable studio on the Janiculum in Rome, entree into Roman diplomatic society, a 10% cash discount at either of Rome's student-favored liquor stores.
