who had come in contact with hlm dur

fallen an easy victim to Toms unsurpass-

The Eagishmun had taken Tom to Lon

friends us a genuine American lioa. Tom
was plenti uly supplied with funds by
his noble friend and was cutting grand
figure. One day Tom and his friend met
the Prince of Wales at club. The
nobleman asked permission of the Prince
to Introduce his American friend. Leave
having been obtained, Tom was formally
introduced to the heir apparent. he
grasped the royal hand and shook 1t
heartily, and then burst out: wales,
old fellow, I'm devlish glad to know you

noblenan was changed to amazement
when the Prince gave Toms hand d
