The disappointed Princess informed
 the Twins of his election: and they
 cheered her by reporting most favor | ably on the qualifications of theil
 friend. though Erebus said somewhat sadly:
 Of course he'll insist on being au
 Indian chief and scslping you; he al.
 ways does. But you mustn't mind | that"
 They found it more difficult to cheer their fsir-haired freckled. but discon-
 solate friend Wiggins: for his reluct-
 ance to be dressed in immaculate at- tire for the delectation Of princesses
 was no less than the Terror's own. However they held out the hope of spacious teas: and he left them, some what comforted. spurning the earth. as was his habit, as he went He went in ignorance of their acquaintance
 with the princess: and by their in-
 structioRs she left him ignorant of it.
 The next morning he admitted that disporting himself with Princess was not 50 had that the tea had surpassed his expectation that the long plait. in which the Princess wore her hair. was uR. But he complained that she was very slow on her feet: and in the interest of her muscular development, they ad-
 jured him to make her run about all he could.
 In the matter of play the Princess now led double life. She spent the early part of the afternoon with the Twins and with peaches in the woods. and from tea to supper she played with Wiggins. Between them she was beginning to acquire muscle; and her cheeks were growing less pale. But she was not losing her delicacy at a speed which satisfied the somewhat exigent Terror. and he was the more put about by it because he and Erebus were about to go for their annual change Of air and she would no longer be under his invigoraiing care.
 The Twins took their change of air at hut short distance from home. since visit to the sea was beyond the slender means of Mrs. Dangerfield. To make up to them for this deprivation, they were allowed 10 encamp for ten days. if the weather were fine. in the warm sandstone caves of Deeping Knoll. which rises in the middle Of Little Deeping wood, the property of their friend Mir. Anstruther. the Squire of Little Decping. kiud-hearted as the Twins were. they felt that to descend every afternoon to the home wood would be too heavy tax on their holiday. On the eve of their de- parture they had just promised the Princess that they would come to see her every third afternoon. when the Terror was greatly inspired.
 Look here: Why shouldn't you come with us into camp:" he said eagerly.
 They'd never let me-never." cried the Princess
 But you'd never ask them" said the Terror You'd just slip away and come with LIS. We're kept our know ing you so dark that they'd never dream you were with us in the Knoll caves
 The Princess was charmed. even dag zled. by the glorious prospect. AL ready she had come to feel that she only really lived when she was with the Twins: whole days with them would he beyond the delight of dreams. But tO her unadyentured soul the diff faculties seemed beyond all surmo,mt- ing. The Twins however were used to surmounting difficulties: and at once they began surm0unting these.
 The difficult thing is not to get you there. but to keep you there" said the Terror thoughtfully. You see. I've got to go down there every day for milk and things and they're sure to ask mo if I've seen anything of you. Of course I can't lie about it; and they'll not only take you away. but they'll probably turn us out of the caves.
 That's the drawback said Erebus.
 A deep frown furrowed the Terror's brow and he said. If only you weren't princess. they wouldn't make half such a fuss hunting for you; and I might never be asked anything about you.'
 "I shall come to the camp incognito of course" said the Princess. The Terror looked puzzled for mo- ment: then his face cleared into a glo- rious smile: and he cried: By love, Of course you would, 1 never thought of that, Why you'd be somebody else and not the Princess at all, We shouldn't know where the Princess was if we were asked.
 "I generally travel as the Baroness yon Zwettel," said the Princess.
 Yes: suppose you would have to have a title-but not that one. think an English one would he best: Lady now-no one will ask us if we know Lady Rowington, because they won't know there is any Lady 
 "If we could only think of some way of making them think that she'd been stoicD by gypsies, it would he safer st:il." said Erebus.
 "Gypsics dou't steal children now-a- days" said the Terror; and he paused Then he added. II tell you what though: Nihilists would-at least they'd steal princess. Are there any Nihilists in Cassel-Nassau?'
 'I never heard of any" said the Princess. ''There are thousands of 
 Socialists will do." said the Terror 
 They were quick deciding that the Princess should not join them till the second night of their stay in camp. to
