Go Domsky. who had preceded the pair on the high road b. a few hours. Au- gust and his wife immediately seek to indulge in the good things of life, and order a swell dinner at the next mount ain hotel they come to. but presenting the thousand-mark note in payment for same they arouse the suspicious of the landlord, who cannot imagine people of such rough exterior coming honestly
 by note of such large dimensions. He
 therefore has them arrested. They are placed in the detention room at police headquarters. shortly after this the prince arrives with young woman by the name of Mimi, who is Q ballet dan cer ct one of the principal theatres and of whom he is much enaroured. Lump, the eX-tradesman and erstwhile stroll Ter, encounters him and forces the prince and his companion to change clothes with himself and Bertha his wife. The two strOllers escape, leav- ing the prince and Mimi in the .deten-
 tiOn room in their place. Costumed as prince and ballet dancer puts a differ ent phase on the affair. and our two worthy strollers find things more easy
 to accomplish. Arriving at a fashion able summer resort where the prince was expected, they represent them selves as the expected nobleman and
 his companion and are received with
 the highest hOnors by the populGce and | the town dignitaries. Bertha and Au- gust start on their new career with high-fiOwn style, and Bertha makes a great reputation as a belle with several German army officers at the hotel.
 They ere interrupted in the midst of it by the arrival of the real prince and his companion, who, however, do not recognize \ August in his borrowed clothes (being somewhat sighted) and mistake the wandering showpan for 9 jewcler for whom the ballet dan Cer had sent to make 2 copy of the lest necklace. The prince had recently o-- dered this duplicate necklace of irlita- tion stones. so in the conversation with
 the prince August gets the idea that the necklace he has found is the paste i one and cheerfully gives it up to the l burgomaster for the five thousand marks reward offered. But about this time things were getting somewhat heated for these two innocent impOs-
 tcTs. and they conclude it is about time to make an exit from the scene of their ! late triumphs, and the opportunity soon presents itself. Two dudish lieu tenants come to the inn and. while talk ! ing a bath, Bertha and August escape : i1 their clothes, riding off in the i princes automobile, and with the money that they have received for their reward they enter on protracted spree and create great stir in the villages which they pass through, being taken 1 for Lord and Grande Dame. The effect | is most ludricrOus and their k1OWledge Of hish-fCwn terms is to say the fleast contracted. Later on they meet ] the prince again and combine with him 1 to try to get back the real diamonds
 from Mimi and give her the paste ones l instead. For this purpose Bertha, who has become an adept in impersonatirg other people, represents herself to be 1 a German lieutenant and, to further 1 her ends, tries to make an impression 1 on the susceptible heart of Mimi. The prince and August are dressed up as ! Oriental fakrs, Bertha rejoins them
 and by 9 clever feat of necromancy the
 paste necklace is given to Mimi, who 1 UnsUspecting is herself made the in
 Strument by which the real stones are
 restored to their rightful owner. This l scene takes place during the "Fete of Fans in act three. Bertha is offered
 Q responsible position as court singer at the princes palace, but she prefers to remain as the wife and comrade of her husband, August. and the two are permitted to depart and continue their | career as itinerant "Strollers.''
