had acted in 3 confidential capacity
for the prince in number OF other
transactions. He trusted, he said, that

In her next letter Miss Burns re-

The name of the gentleman associated
with him in representing the prince
on this side Of the ocean. THIS proved
TO be James ]. Walker, lawyer ana
Assemblyman from the Firth District
Mr.. Walkers connection with the case
vss merely as counsel for NJ. Guilisni,
and the matrimonial proposition was
far from being to his liking,
Matters having progressed this FAR,
aid Miss Burns, she would introduce
the gentleman TO Richard Searles, IT,,
son "a the copper king, and brother or
Victoria. An appointment was made,
and Richard, jr., met M. Guilianl and
MIS- lawyer at the Knickerbocker HOTEL
Tuesday morning.
In the first place, the brother wanted
to know, what was the name OF the
prince? Philippe-Louis Marie de
Bourbon- Braganza, Count d'Aquila,
Cuiliani informed him. Could one ask
more? The name Bourbon alone, in
one connection or another, is known
from one end of the United States to
the other. By the way, had Mr.,
Searles rung for the waiter?
And was ne Irregular prince? In
good standing, you know, and all that
Paid his dues regularly in the Prince
Club, or whatever it was?
ALI There you have said something,
NJ. Guiliani wanted you to knowI A
nephew to the late King Ferdinand, was
Phil Bourbon-like brothers, he and
Uncle Ferd! A fist cousin to the
Crown Princess Of Austria; what is
her name, anyhow? And there is
Uncle Franz Josef, and Cousin Fer
dinand of Bulgaria, and Cousin George
you remember George, King of Eng
land? The very samel
And there was his nephew, Alfonso
Of Spain! He used to drop in and take
not luck with AL most every day. To
say nothing Of the Gar Of Russia, who
was his cousin! All, what good times
they used TO have together!
His patent of nobility goes back fif-
teen hundred years, said NJ. Guiliani,
and the patent has not expired even
vet. And 50 generous! Entertaining
All the time, always giving things
away--in fact, that was one Of the reR-
sons that he thought he would like to
get married.
Mr.. Searles was sure that the fam
liz was wealthy, was he, snd-er-eX-
elusive? The prince was not a stick
Ter for details, in 8 pinch he might
waive a little Of the eXclusiveneSs.
And here is his photograph said NJ.
Guiliani, and could he have an answer
the same day? Then Phil could come
right over for the wedding, just as
soon as he--sh--got the steamship
ticket.
Followinc,a telegram to Searles, ST.,
and yesterday came one back to Rich
ard, jr. The copper king, it appeared,
had cabled abroad, and the result was
embodied in the telegram to his son.
This was IL:
Nothing doing. Find prince sixty
seven years old. Pop"
An, that was the trouble! Sixty
seven years old! But his address is
Rome, and the name given here 10 his
right one, and he Is the real thing, so
why should American girls hesitate.
