photographs taken, so that he can hand
them out to the reporters when they
call for particulars. Sees in his minds
eye, he says, a huge black lettered
heading in the evening papers. "A Rus
sian Prince Captures One Of Our Fair
est Daughters and then insultingly
limited that perhaps, after all, it was

this letter up on the notice board In the

for days and days at our cottage in
Bar Harbor. am quite certain that
left instructions for letters to be for
warded, but, as nothing came, I tele-
graphed yesterday to the people who
have taken our house, and now whole
heap of belated correspondence has ar
rived, with note from Our tenant say
ing he did not know our address. You
will see at the bottom Of the note that
the prince asks my father to communi-
cate with him by sending reply to
the CONSERVATION at New York, but

But Jack told me that the Con-
sternation paid off as soon as she ar
rived, and probably he will have gone

81 have heard that such is the case"
"But yo,ire not sure, and I want to
be certain"
"Are you really in love with him.
Kate?'
ssOf course am. You know that
very well. and don't want any stupid
misapprehension to arise at the begin

And she gently touched with her toe
the unoffenssing volume which lay on
the ground beneath tie hammock.
"Then why not as:oat your fathers
suggestion and cable? II isn't you who

look as if we were in 1 hurry, wouldn't

..Hand me up that despised book,
Kate. and I'll write my cablegram on
the fly leaf. If you approve Of the

1t at once"
Katherine gave her the book and
lent the little silver pencil which hung
jingling with other trinkets on the

note, tore out the fly leaf and pre-

"Sure it is nothing more than that?"
Dorothy shook her head.
Dorothy, you are brick; that's
