 Tony had told his story spicily in way 10 make his readers laugh. But Loveland did not laugh He read on sand on, dazed at first, then with burst of enlightenment which made clear many mysteries
 's'The difficult young man to ap- proaeh'' had come to New York to see heiresses and conquer papas, said Tony. He had begun the conquering process on board ship, being youth of thrifty turn of mind, who believ- ed in taking time by the foreloek. He had made friends. He had even per haps made love.

This alleged nobleman had gone to the Waldorf-Astoria, where, through servant of the hotel, it was soon dis covered that his pretentious trunks were practically empty.
