...much was readily discovered, but the real secret remained unanswered. Was the whole scheme the plot of a lunatic inventor, or was it merely the result of a process of natural selection? No one can ever know, for Mucilage, realizing the danger to humanity and education that would exist if the mechanism were left in existence, burned it part by part in his furnace the same night. As it dissolved into ashes and smoke, there perished with it the first and only Ghost of Memorial Hall...

It is a disagreeable spectacle to see a nation abandon parliamentarianism and rush into autocracy." In Paris, where King Alexander is regarded as the chief Balkan ally of France, virtually the whole press praised the new Dictatorship. The German Monarchist Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung approved "this fresh proof of the futility of parliamentarianism"; but the Socialist Vorwaerts sneered savagely at "the Surgeon-King who seeks to cure his sick state by plunging in the bayonet." Perhaps the most restrained and weighty comment came...
