ruling passion asserted itself; and. though
! II was probable that Mrs. Grant was then
at the City Hall. tuning and frettins

| gathered around the automobile and stood
| IN open-eyed wonder gazing at the Prince.
| He did not appear to notice the little

| gamin who attracted his attention. TO
this little lad he addressed some playful
| remark.
The lad. too amazed to make any re-
| ply 10 the Prince, turned 90 his COM
| paniOns and said. Say, fellers. dld yer
hear dat? Ills whiskers can talk Ameri-
The remark was too much for the
! Prince. and he enjoyed hearty laush.
| He was soon in conversation with me
| Youngsters who. taking advantage or MS
! frienduness. piled him with all sorts OF
| questions about the automobile. Nhen
| Miss Grant reappcared she was surprised
! 10 see the Prince crOuCheG down ON the
| ground and pointing 20 some part or the
| mechanism OF the automobile that Is I'M
der the bottom Of the carriage. BoWlhs
| TO the lads most graciOusly, the Prince
| assisted Miss Grant into the automqphe
