THE European nobleman is looming ,

THE European nobleman is looming up
again. When too late he is discovered to
be swindler. He owns great estates in
Sllesia, or Lancashire, or the Pays-Bas;
has several castles in Spain, and SO forth.
He has been unfortunate, quarrelled with
his family, fought duel; is suspected by
the government. But the happy moment
has at last arrived. Everything will be
arranged if only he can procure 800 or
so to pay his passage back to Europe.
The stern American republican, million

book He treats him like the Prince in

American and a republican can rise above
the inherited prejudice. In due time the
nobleman disappears anu the simple,
open hearted republican discovers that he
has been swindled. The trick has been
played so often that it is surprising how
successful it still is. Americans are not
easily fooled in business, but a sniff OF
nobility goes very long way with some
worthy people among US. With such
nothing counts like count, unless a lord
duke, or stray prince.
