The prince, a stout, autocratic, but self-

save for a couple of Nubian mutes, one of
whom kept imaginary flies off hint with a
long-stemmed fan of ostrich feathers while

courtiers and attendants, Hatipha among

CHAPTER, III,
Meryon did noe at mice reply, natook
his cigarette case from his pocket, select-
ed a cigarette and said . to the Nubian of
the nurgilele "Boy, a light." After ob-
taining st he drew Jo a whiff or two with
a thoughtful air mid then turned gravely
to his host,
"Prince," he said, in a tone of ley dis-
tinetetess, "it is fortunate for Soli/hat I
did not take your bravado in earnest, 11
thought," he coutatual, with as stern and
keen look. "that yea actually meditated
violence to inc and thereby to Olean-
powerfal nation evhich 1 represent—if I
believed that, within three months your
kiugdoni would have been wiped from the
map, and you ',lid your subjects would be
on your way to New York to become wait-
ers in the public restaurants!"
Them was as sileuce. Both smoked.
Meryon with long, serene ieltalations, his
highness with short, sharp puffs. At last
he said: "Your staternen 5, Meryop Paella,
seems improbelee. I have indeed heard
that your nation is groat, and I know that
the ways ot Allah are unfathomable In-
justice dwells hot in my heart. You will
admit that you have been hospitably en-
tertained—" Meryon stiffly inclined hie
head, at the same time slightly lifting one
eyebrow and shrugging the opposite
shoulder— bat it has come to my oars that
you have ventured to look upon and even
to address communications to the princess,
my daughter, apparently presuming ber
capable of deigning—"
Once more Meryon laterrupted. "Prince,
yon emplay words which I won't take
from you. 'Deigning!' Does the tom -tit
condescend to the eagle? It was my whim
to lay aside the cares of sovereignty (which
I must resume on 103? return bome) and
nuisquerade in this out -of the -way little
corner, for a while, as a mere traveling
artist. But in birth, station and power
you're simply not in sight, beside me, not
to mention your interesting family."
The prince, by a, nervous jerk of the
elbow, upset the nargilele which the Nu
bian deftly caught and replaced.
"I've been studying your little priact-
polity." resumed the other, "with a friend-
ly disposition to do something to improve
it. I heard you hacl a daughter, and it
struck Inc she mighabe the maths of my

and the prince became crinisou, but said
nothing at all. Meryon went on:

American combined; "you are to blame

tremors shook his frame.
