into the flushed, writing face Of his
little master. For a moment he was
stunned by the vigorous outburst.
Then the hard lines in his face re-
Taxed, softer expression came into his
eyes, and he smiled kindly on the boy.
But Prince Bobby was still unap-

he said stubbornly. Couldn't l, Uncle

The Duke of Perse suddenly bent
forward and placed his bony hand
upon the unshrinking shoulder of the
prince, his eyes cleaning kindly, his
voice strangely free from it's usual

The thought abruptly banished all else
from his eager little brain.
Some day soon,'' said Tullis. you
