In obedience to this instruction the party were heard moving off with uncertain steps and Buster turned away from the window with a 'sigh of relief. • Hi fawncies you're sife, your Ma- jesty," said he. Agreeable intelligence, I must ad- mit," sighed the Prince, assuming an easier position. "My subjects pos- sess the virtue of peristence." "Yessir, they dearly loves to club a swell cove hif they think 'ee his arfter their lydies." Steps sounded in the hallway and the Prince rose quietly to his fee,, prepared to renew the struggle. "Don't be halarmed, your 'Igh- ness," said Buster, reassuringly, "Hit's only Mr. Moore returning." "Do not acquaint him with my presence," said Wales. "1 will make myself known when I think best." "Yes, your 'Ighness." The Prince stepped behind the cur- tain separatin' the poet's bedcham- ber from the sitting -room and there awaited developments in silence. Moore opened the door and ushered in Mr. Dyke. 1'1 thought Bessie was h he said in surprise as be noted ab- sence, Mistress Dyke went down hin- terview Mrs. Malone, sir," explained Buster, in a quandary as to he should act.

No doubt a spark, since I/ abal make light of my adventure, but in reality not so very gay." Bessie came hurrying along thtt hall and flinging open the door en- tered .breathlessly. "Oh, Tom, Tom," she cried. "The hall below Is full of men. They are searching for the strange gallant who won Jane Sweeny from the grocer's son," The Prince, took a pinch of snuff. "Egad!" said he. "A remarkable achievement, it seems. I'm begin- ning to be proud of it" "The Prince!" exclaimed the girl in amazement, "An uninvited guest, Mistress Dyke," said his highness, jovially. "And therefore doubly welcome, sir," returned Moore, at the door list- ening to the murmur that came from below. "Your Highness, they are coming up I ani afraid. They have traced you here," "Devilish awkward," mutters the Prince, looking around for a weapons "1 shall have to fight, I fancy," "No, no," said Moore, "That is no way to get out of this mess. We would be beaten down in a moment." "We?„ "Aye, Sire, Mr. Dyke, you and I. 1 have a better scheme, if you will trust yourself to me." "I prefer you to our friends." "Then hide in the next room," said the poet, drawing back the curtain. "I'll get them off your track or my name is not Tom 9loore. Whatever you hear, don't stir out, your High- ness." Buster entered in a rush. "Ho, sir," he panted, "the 'ole par- cel hof 'eni his a -coming hup!" "Hush!" said Moore, "This way, Sire." Wales obeyed his host's instruc- tions and vanished in the adjoining, room, his manner still enol and un- ruffled. 'IBuster can you lose those rascals in a chase over the roofs?" "Hi can, sir," replied the boy valiantly, "Hi'll give 'em a run has they reads habout hin their primers."

"Out with you and when I` whistle shown your- self somewhere and then run like the devil.' When you are tired, drop your hat and coat and you'll be safe." "Drop nothing," said Buster. "Hi knows too much to be guilty hof any such shocking waste as that." He hurried out of the window. landing on the roof below as lightly as any cat, as the sound of the ap- proaching mob grew louder. There was but little time to spare, and Moore wasted none of it. "Bessie," he commanded, "lock the door behind us when we go out in the hall. When I sing, you scream for help at the top of your voice. Then, whatever I say swear to like a darlin', Come, Mr. Dyke." Moore grabbed the old gentleman by the arm and hurried him out in the hall as the first of Wales' pursuers set foot on the flight of stairs leading to the attic.

The rest of us will guard every door in the neighborhood." The chosen four dropped' from the window, and the crowd, Sweeny still in the lead, .ruched out and down- stairs -as frantically as they bad come up, leaving the attic to Moore and Iiia guests. The poet eat down- on an upset chair and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a comedian I am," said he, "Bessie, how does Drury Lane do without me?" 'I don't know," said the girl, "I am sure 1 couldn't" "My, oh, my!" panted Moore, "but you ars learning the right thine to say' at the right time very quickly, Bessie." The Prince emerged from his hid- ing place, "Bravely done, Mr. Moore," said he laughing a little. "Egad, I'd not trade this evening for any other in my experience." "No?" asked Moore. "Not I, sir. You rid us of them "The Harp that once thro' Tara's halls The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls, As if that sou!'—" A wp man's scream rang through the %ouhe. "Help! Help! Tom!

Out of the way, darlin'," he whispered ko Bessie, "I've got to give myself an awful flaking." Immediately the poet began a struggle all over the room with an imaginary adversary, "You would, would you?" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "Then take that, you raparee! And that, you raparee! And that, and that. Help! Mr. Dyke! My, but he is strong," He seized the table and upset it, then danced around the room like one possessed, dealing terrific blows to the air. He clutched the contents of the cupboard and sent the china crashing in fragments on the floor, The chairs he beat up and down and back and forth against the walls. For all the world it sounded as though a mad bull were rushing around the room dealing destruction on every side. Then he put his. fist through two panes of glass and paused in his 'Performance, standing by the window with heaving chest as the niob led by Sweeny rushed into the attic.

"i kicked in the door and grabbed the villain, Mr. Dyke and i both grappled with him, but he was too much for us and beat us down and leaped out on the roof," The crowd surged up to the win- dow with a howl of rage, and Buster bobbed into view on a distant gable.

Wales accepted the chair which Moore placed for him., "Sir," said be, "you have a talent for intrigue." "Ah, Sire," acid Moore, ingenuous- ly, "if it were not diarespeetful, 1 would return the compliment, Your Highness must have passed an excit- ing evening." "Quite true Mr. Moore, but I fancy can do without such excitement in he -future." I rejoice to hear you say that, our Highness,' said Moore, sincere- Ir. "Indeed, Mr. Moore? And why so if 1 may ask?" "Because," said the poet so win- ningly that it was quite impossible for even a prince of the blood to take offence, "'The First Gentleman `i f Europe' is too proud a title to be lightly naked."
