lovelight drove its searching rays into
the innermost regions of his dragon
soul and smote the passion of love till.
volcanic lise, it changed his whole
idea of life and career.
Thought Only of Sweetheart.
Prince August tarried not for a
glimpse of the wonders of the great
American mountain Businesses. The
huge piles of architecture in the great
cities through which he sped held no
interest His thoughts were in that
far-away Los Angeles and at every
mile he pictured the brown-eyed little
senorita.
1t isn't OF record that Prince Au-
gust dreamed of complications when
he unceremoniously quit his Vienna
and babe adieu to his regiment. Just
hasty packing of trunk or two,
jumbling Of the necessities of male ex-
istence into couple of handy bags,
taxi to the station and then swift
journey to the port of departure.
1t is intimated that Prince August
counted not the flight of time in his
calculations for storming the Castle
Freese and whisking away this fair
daughter. He hadn't foreseen, or at
least given serious consideration to, a
possible objectional finale to his i'm
perious wooing and plans for mar
rage.
Paid Court With Ardor.
He hadn't considered that Francis
Joseph might cast the eye of disfavor
upon his ventures into the environs OF
hymen. He doesn't know yet that the
aged Francis Joseph does-that's
what's troubling him. A decision one

he has a way of doing things all his
own.

that almost swept Miss Freese from
her feet, she admits. But she con-

shift slowly to tiled mantel In her
/ dainty boudoir On that mantel is a
picture, an oil painting, and it repre-
sents a prince in uniform. It's her
prince. A prince for day. at least

His visits to the Freese home have
been unbroken daily for these many
weeks. And there have been flowers
in abundance and the confectioners OF
Los Angeles have marveled at the
sweets and the size of the bills. Prince
Augustus has been a most devoted
fance all this time If he isn't riding
or driving with his intended princess,
they are strolling about the Freese
home. or enjoying the hospitality OF
the first families of the southern Cali
fornia metropolis. The prince con
fesses he likes Los Angeles, and Los
Angeles has grown rather fond OF the
| prince.
Both Hoping for Consent.
But there is hope in these two young
he~rts that Emperor Francis Joseph
eventually will bestow his consent and
his blessing. The honeymoon plans
are made. Across the continent 10

If their dream comes true. Once al
the sulkowski seat in Austria, there
are social duties to perform and the
management Of vast estate, into con-
troll of which Prince August will come
upon his retirement from the army.
