left him he repeated once more to him,
not TO be afraid. Philip was led into a
small antechamber, where he remained
alone for long time. At last one of the
royal chamberlains came in and said:-

you d
Philip was frightened almost out of his
senses. His knees became week. He
was introduced into a beautiful ROOM
There the old King sat laughing at small
table. By his side Prince Julian was
standing without his mask. No one else
was in the room.
The King looked at the young man for
some time, apparently with pleasure.
Tell me everything exactly the King
said, 'as they happened 10 night
Philips courage revived at the kind
manner in which the venerable old King
addressed him, and he confessed most mi
nutely what he had done and experienced
from beginning TO end, yet he was prudent
and modest enough TO skip those commu-

having addressed him several questions
about his parents and trade he took some
gold pieces and gave them to him with these
words:

affairs. No harm will be done you, but
do not tell any one what you have done or
heard this night
Philip fell on his knees before the King
and kissed his hand, while he stammered
a few words Of thanks. AS he rose to de-
part, Prince Julian SAID:
Il beg most humbly that your majesty
may allow the young man to await in the
ante-room; | have to settle a little debt
with him for the trouble which have oc-
casioned him tonight
The King nodded with a smile and
Philip left the room.

Up had there to repeat every word he heard
or said at the ball. Julian patted him on
the shoulder and said:
