The old man looked sharply at
him for an instant, and a quick
smile writhed in and out among
the mass of wrinkles. Instead of
passing directly out of the shop,
SpantZ stopped moment to give
the girl some suddenly recalled in
struction. Truxton King, you
may be sure, did not precede the
old man into the street. He de-
Iliberately removed his hat and
waited most politely for age to
go before youth, in the meantime
blandly gazing upon the face of
this amazing niece.
Across the square, at one of
the tables, he awaited his chance
and plausible excuse for ques-
tioning the old man without CIV
ing offense. Somewhere back in
his impressionable brain there was
growing a distinct hope that this
beautiful young creature with the

for his little attention by giving

past, present and future, from the
time of the Tartar rule to the
time of the so-ealled american
invasion" His glowing descrip-
ton of the little prince might
have interested Truxton in his
Lord Fauntleroy days, but just at
present he was more happily en-
gagged in specializing on the true
identity of the girl in the gun
shop. He re called the fact that
former royal princess of Grau-
stark had gone sightseeing over
the world, incognito, as Miss
Guggenslocker, and had been ro-
mantically snatched up by a
lucky American named Lorry.
What if this girl in the gun-shop
should turn out to be a-well, he
could hardly hope for a princess;
but she might be countess.
