ROMANCE OF A nusKY PRINCE

Ranjit belongs TO of the oldest fighting races
OF India-the Rajputs who form the Findoo aris-
tocracy. His father was the nephew of the then
reigning sovereign Of Nawanagar, who having
legitimate sons. selected Ranj-that to say. the
son of his nephew and most intimate friend-as his
adopted heir and rightfu successor TO his throne.
Some time afterward Ranjit. then sixteen years Of
age, was by the advice of the British government,
sent to England, and. after spending year with a
private tutor, entered the University of Cambridge
as an undergraduate. eventually taking his degree.
He had just completed his course the univer-
sity when his father incurred the dspleasure Of
the old ruler of Nawanagar, the two quarrelling
bitterly that the Jam proceeded to disinherit
Ranjit and to deprive him Of his status as heir
apparent, proclatming his successor one Of his
own ilegitimate sons, Jaswant sinhIi.

obtain the ear of the rather foolish English poti-

India interested themselves in the case of Ranjit.

government, after due consideration. and in view
Of the fact that Jaswant was in actual possession
OF the throne, and had been lawfully proclaimed
as successor by the late Jam, decided to abstain
