lovelight drove it's searching rays into
| the innermost regions of his dragon
soul and smote the passion Of love till.
volcanic like, it changed his whole
idea Of life and career.
Thought Only of Sweetheart.
Prince August tarried not fol a
glimpse Of the wonders of the great
American mountain Businesses. The
huge plies 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 browi-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
a hasty packing of a trunk or two, a
1umbling 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 hie
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
way or the other and this firm-featured
dragoon has plans of his own He
hasn't disclosed them, but he has in
dicated he can think for himself and
he has way of doing things all his
own.
That Prince August paid court with
determination and an impressiveness
that almost swept Miss Freese from
her feet, she admits. But she con-
fesses it with smile, and her eyes
shift slowly to tiled mantel in her
dainty boudoir. On that mantel Is

sents a prince in uniform. It's her
prince. A prince for day. at least"
Maybe, forever; who knows?
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 most devoted |

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

fesses he likes Los Angeles, and Los
Angeles has grown rather fond of the |
prince.
