blows. But because Of the divinity
that hedges royalty Prince Vladimir
Halberstadt had reached the age of
thirty-dve without having once been
struck. He was ignorant Of the sensa-
ton. And the smashing impact of
Hawthorne's fist In his face came with
all the novelty of an earthquake--and
with almost as much force.
The prince stood full head taller
than his wiry little opponent and
weighed at least fifty pounds more.
Yet the force of the blow sent him
reeling backward. dazed and dumfound-
ed. Even General HohenlOe was SO
thunderstruck by the spectacle Of a
royal prince being struck by mere
American that for a moment he was
too surprised to move or even to think.
Seeing that the prince did not put
up his hands," Hawthorne did not fol-
low up the attack. He had expected
his blow to be the first move in the
liveliest sort of mixup. And he was
vaguely disappointed that his enemy
had taken it so passively.
But his disappointment lasted for
bare fraction of second. The prince,
recovering from his momentary daze.
went insane with fury. Throwing pru-
dence and dignity to the winds. Vladi-
mir flashed out the great saber that
dangled at his left side and hurled
himself upon the unarmed American.
Hawthorne. like most American ci-
villains. knew nothing of sword play.
And even had he been adept in it he
was weaponless. But he knew rough
and tumble lighting and the strictest
ethics Of a barroom row. So. as the
huge Borrovian charged madly upon
him. saber aloft. he instinctively
snatched up the weapon that lay near
est his hand. And that weapon CHANGED

The prince had come to the hasty
