andy and little thslter parties in her

honor
 After a time Miss Bull returned to her home in Cincinnati, The prince summoned his retinue.
 Prepare for my departure at once: T am going to Cincinnati, 7 he said.
 So it happened that not many hours later Korean enissary rang the bell of the Bull residence. Tn a scented case of silk he bore an engraved card, which read:
 Prince Penkeel Euiwah''
 His imperial highness,'' said the am bassador Of love, desires to know if you will do him the goodness of ac- cording him the supreme pleasure of an interview?''
 Miss Bull laughed. "Yes," she said, 'but why didn't he come himself!s' Half an hour later he was there.
 Even princes sometimes grow weari-i some, and after awhile Miss Bull de- cided that she did not care to become the bride of a Korean, even with a throne tossed in as possibility, and so the wooing of the ardent oriental came to naught.
 Hut what is one little rebuff to a priace?
 Itswas not long before he was pour ing tender words into other ears just as fair.
 Moreover. the strings of his purse were always open. Indeed, so great did the attractions of Delaware, O., bo- come that the royal father of Penkeel, busy as he was with troubles of his own at home, decided that he had bet ter leave, and so it came about that the prince moved to a small college town near Roanoke, Va, where for some months he pursued his studies under the watchful eye of private tutor. The Korean minister in Wash ington-quasi of the prince breathed somewhat easier at that. His respite, however, was not long. Other troubles came with the vacation sea. son.
 Mountain Lake Park Is pretty lit tie resort, with bent for eegcation, in the mountains of western Mary land. Surely, it was thought, no harm could come of the prince going there. So go he did. attended only by the faithful Honan. his private secretary.
 Miss Mary Buttles is the daughter of a wealthy merchant of Columbus, O. She is only IT years old, but tall and slender, with dark blue eyes and light brown hair. She and her motKf r were also at Mountain Lake Park, and the second day after his arrival Prince Penkeel saw her in the dining room at the hotel
 Who is she?" the royal heir de- manded of the private secretary. AS certain and report to me-" and Hahon, much against his will, was obliged to obey. He. duly reported.
 Arrange an introduction" the prince instructed.
 The private secretary to the prince, Hahon, is nothing if not a diplomat, and in a short time Penkeel Euiwah was making his bow to the charming Miss Buttles in the office of the hotel. If Miss Buttles is young and viva cious her head was not turned by hav- ing real. live prince, and the proba- bIe heir to a throne, at that, at her beck and call. She didn't even seem to be impressed. Instead, she made him hop around just as she would an i American young man. Tn Korea the members of the aris- 1 tocracy seldom, if ever, walk. They are carried in chairs everywhere they go. Thus it happened that Prince Pen keel was not a pedestrian of great I note. "-7N
 Now, Miss Buttles is not only pc" destrian, but scaler of mountain peaks as well. So when the prince began to dance attendance she told l him that if he expected to pass any I time with her he had better learn to climb.
 But hate walking he explained.
 "All right, then; stay at the hotel, S she replied, and away she went.
 Prince Penkee1, greatly fascinated, 1 plodded after her.
 So. day after day, this scion of roy- 1 atty trudged with the breezy Ohio maiden over the Maryland mountains, footsore, but happy. Throughout their stay at Mountain l Park Lake Prince Penkeel was most de- voted, and just before Miss Buttles re- I turned to Columbus he gave an elab- crate dinner in her honor. Now he is to visit Columbus and be entertained l by the Buttles family.
 At that time, it is expected, formal announcement of an engagement will be made.
