 cent rejOinder opened the way to an | acrid discussion of John Tullis. If that gentleman's ears burned in re- sponse to the sarcastic comments or 1 the Duke of Perse and Baron Pultz, , they probably tingled pleasantly as the result of the stout defense put up by Halfont. Dangloss and others. The dukes impassioned plea was of no avail. His confreres saw the wis dom of keeping Russia's greedy hand out of the country's affairs-at least for the present-and reiterated their decision to seek the loans in England and France. The question, therefore, would not be taken to parliament for reconsideration. The duke sat down, pale in defeat; his heart was more bit ter than ever against the shrewd American who had induced all these men to see through his eyes.
 At this juncture the prince, gather ing from the manner of his ministers that the question was settled to his liking. leaned forward and announced to his uncle. the premier:
 I'm tired. Uncle Caspar. How much longer is it?"
 Count Halfont coughed. "Ahem! Just a few minutes, your highness. Pray be patient-er-my little man."
 Prince Bobby flushed. He always knew that he was being patronized when any one addressed him as my little man."
 "I have an engagement" he said, with a stiffening of his back The Duke of Perse smiled grimly. In his most polite manner he arose to ad- dress the now harassed princeling who shifted uneasily on the pile of lawboOks
 May your most humble subject pre- sume to inquire into the nature of your highness' engagementT'
 You may, your grace" said the [ prince.
 The duke waited. A smile crept into the eyes of the others. Well. what is the en.agement?" T had date to ride with Uncle Jack at II and to review the troops" Count Halfont interposed good hu- moredly: There is nothing more to come before us today, your grace. so l fancy we may as well close the meet | ing. To my mind it is rather a silly custom which eompels us to keep the [ prince with us-er-after the opening | of the session. Of course, your high ness, we don't mean to say that you | are not interested in our grave deliber- 1 ations.''
 l Prince Bobby broke in eagerly: "Un- ] nT, Taa srfg Fs. hs,f frRto | ested in 'em whether want to or not. He says it's the only way to catch on to things and become a regular prince. You see, Uncle Caspar, I've got lot to learn"
 ''Yes. your highness, you have,r sol emnly admitted the premier. But l am sure you will learn.''
 Under such an able instructor as Uncle Jack you may soon know more than the wisest man in the realm. '' added the Duke of Perse.
 Thank you. your grace" said the prince so politely that the duke was confounded. "I know Uncle Jack will be glad to hear that. He's-he's afraid people may think he's putting in too much"
 "Butting inr' gasped the premier.
 At this the Duke of Perse came tC his feet again, an angry gleam in hi. eyes. My lords" he began hastily , it must certainly have occurred {, , you before this that our beloved princess English, which seems, aftel all. to be his mother tongue, is mol , what it should be. Butting ini Yes ], terday overheard him advising youl son, Pultz. to go chase himself. Ant when your boy tried to chase himself 'pon my word be did-what did oul prince say? What did you say. Prince RobinT'
 Fl forget" stammered Prince Bob by.
 You said 'Micer Or was tier "No, your grace: rats. remember , That's what I said. That's what all Of us boys used to say in Washington"
 God deliver us! Has it come to this that a prince of GrlustaTk should grow up with such language on his lips? That confounded American has every one hypnotizedr' exploded the duke. His influence over this boy is a menace to our country. He is mak. ing an oaf of nina slangy, impudeni little''-
 Your gracer' interrupted Baron Dangloss sharply.
 Uncle Jacks all right" declared the prince, vaguely realizing that a de ferse should be forthcoming.
 "He is. eh?" raspcd the exasperated duke, mopping his brow.
 "He sure is." pronounced the prince with A fnality that left no room foi doubt.
 "He is a mountebank, rneddler | hats what be isv' exclaimed the over heated duke.
 But the prince had slid down from
