Not far from him, also alone, dined

At Maxim's, as everywhere. there are

till the stranger dropped him at his
club.
Later when he met the dark and mel
ancholy stranger, always alone In the
Bots, at the races, expositions and first
nights, he nodded kindly. Then one
night at Maxlm's they got to chatting
and 1t came out that the dark and
melancholy stranger was an Indian
prince.
Indian prince means nothing to
Parisans. Little by little he was ac-
cepted on his merits by a dozen aristo-
cratic men. They observed and liked
him. one day at Longchamps II be-
came awkward not to present him to the
mother Of one of them, and the grand
dame asked him to dinner. The first
large reception he was asked to was at
the then Princess de Sagans. That
same summer Kapurthala was invi, ID
to his first house party-at historic
Chaumont-by the Princess Amedee de
Broglie.
He was the Maharajah of Kapur-
thala, but 1t did not help or hurt him.
Parisians are ignorant of foreign geog-
raphy. Wherever he went once he was
asked often for his high breeding,
pleasing personality and simple kind
ness. Within three years he was one Of
the most popular figures in fashionable
Paris society. They did not even joke
about his Kingdom"
At that moment high society became
excited over a very different Oriental
figure, laun led with fracas by enthusi-
astic buds just out of convent schools.
She was Princess Br!nda, for FIVE years

ancient caste of India!

harnessed magnifcently, and finally an
immense gilded cage in which sang a
hundred nightingales of India, the
boul-bouls of legend.
Thus the daughter of the fellah girl
and the Italian emigrant became
sovereign of the land of Kapurthaa.
Enamored of European ideas, the
young Maharajah would have in his
zenana only one wife, served by dainty
slaves and amused by lovely nautch
girls.
A few years later her Italian father
died; and the stepmother remarried--to
a young Lavantine who dissipated her
fortune so that she was even forced to
sell the Alexandria palace with the
Italian loggia.
The Maharajah and his queen lived
in unclouded happiness for years. A
son, European in his fairness. was born
to them; and the mother cultivated in
her little Tika all the graces of heart
and mind that seemed to spring so
naturally in her and hers.
Then the mother died.
The Maharaja was inconsolable. For
a time they feared for his life. The
British Resident could do nothing with
him. The Maharajah hated govern
ment, his kingdom and the light of the
day.

the men of state.

ness and they were still listening.
one evening. as the beautiful girl told
for the twentieth time the story of
Prince Charming, the children sprawl
ing about In poses that would have de-
lighted a painter, they were seen by a
group Of foreign visitors. who stopped,
struck by admiration.
1t was a strange group. A young
man, tall and slender, magnificently
dressed. preceded other richly dressed
personages. In spite Of their age-sev-
eral had long white beards-they
showed the youth profound respect.
One of the venerable men, bowling,
translated the story which the beauti-
full girl was telling. The splendid youth
listened.
When the girl had finished he tried
to speak to her He began in French
and she understood and replied without
anectation. She told him her simple
history.
Tomorrow" said the young man,
Il will go and see your father"
The next day the Italian was in
formed that the son of the Indian rajah
Of Kapurthala, passing through Alex
andrla, would visit him. The news
surprised him. but his wife, descendant
Of the Negroponti, found it natural;
doubtless the kings son had heard of
her beauty and high race.
The Prince appeared in a magnificent
costume. He wore a robe of cream
satin, slashed with colored stripes. His
red turban. surmounted by diamond
aigrette, bore three rows of great pearls.
Around his neck hung six rows Of
pearls, the largest the size of a hazel
nut. His black slippers were covered
with diamonds. 1t was generally known
that the young prince had arrived from
England. where he had visited Queen
Victoria, and was returning to his
paternal estates.
After the salutations and when the
Italian Greek family had been pre-
scented. he said to the Italian: "Where
is your other child?"
The Italian blushed; his wife and

her daughters bit their lips. The Prince
was told that the young girl mentioned,
being Of Independent character, did not
live in the palace, and was not sufii-
GENTLY well dressed to appear before a
kings son.
Il want to see her." he said briefly.
SO they went to find "the other
child"
Arriving she recognized the young
man. The Prince sat and talked a long
time with her. He questioned her on
her life, he told her of his own, while
all the others stood and listened re-
specially. Then the Prince put on the
girls finger a massive gold ring bear
ing a diamond OF pale green lustre with
pink fires.
Little friend" he said, you have
charmed me by your look and by your
words. BE sure that ! will not forget
you. Do not forget me-"
Months passed and they had ceased
to speak of the adventure, except to
mock the young girl, when one day "A

his guests the quiet gentleman who sat
alone at Maxim's opened the magic of
the Orient.

Maharajah did not sail with them AS

Nor was it unnatural, therefore, that
a dark, melancholy gentleman, bound
for Bombay on the Arabia should have
stopped OFF one boat at Alexandria. In
a hotel landau he drove to the Avenue
Of Sycamores by the Mahomudleh
Canal.
The gardener Of the villa with the
Italian loggia received affably his timd
request to visit the flowers. The Greek
family was absent and quiet tourists
are often liberal. They strolled from
roses to lilies, from palms to mmosas,
and the dark melancholy gentleman was
so impressed that he seemed struck TO
silence. Evidently he had never seen a
garden like it. lie walked slowly, ST.

ceeded in working the toss three times
for short gains, but NJ. A. c.. Syra,
cuse, Pennsylvania, and Cornell had
very small success with It.
On the other hand the Wolverines
showed that it could be worked Ex-
cept in the Harvard game. in which
few passes were tried ard none was
successful, the play proved big ground
gamer. The touchdown against SYRIA
cuse. both of those against Cornell, sew
eral against Pennsylvania, and the field
goal kicked against the AggieS were
made possible by timely and accurate
tossing of the ball.
One point in the rules which should
be cleared up relates to the safety.
There was a big argument in the Har-
vard-Yale game over what many critics
believe was score made by Yale
fumbied ball behind his own goal line.
Section 16 of rule goes extensively into
the definition OF q safety, but would be
improved by the addition Of a sentence
expressly stipulating the ruling in
case like that of Saturday.
There was considerable argument
this season over the question OF
whether the ball is dead when touched
by a player who is off-side. In the
Harvard Michigan game, the the GRIM
son players several times touched a
rolling ball when they We're off-slde
and the leather was awarded 10 the
Wolverines on the spot. Many players
and coaches believe and many officials
will rule that in a case like this the
ball is not dead, but may be carried
by the team to which it automatically
belongs after being touched by an on
side player of the other eleven. Rule
nineteen only partly covers this point
and should be made more explicit. IN
the case of such an offense happening
inside the 10-yard line of the offended
team. the ball goes as a touchback TO
the defenders. but there Is nothing I"
show that it is not in play in other por-
tons Of the lot.
One rule that is badly needed but
which probably will not be included In
the code for a year or so is that num-
bering of the players be made com
pulsory. The numbering system has
had thorough trial this season and
everywhere has made hit with the
spectators. There are very few. teams
which stin decline to have their men
identified, Yale, Harvard, and Mich
igan being among the number. owing
to the tremendous influence Of tnesr
three institutions. it will be a diffl,
cult matter to pass a rule that VIII

CALDWELL MAY JOIN
hACKMEN IN TRADE
Jack Lapp and Rube 0Idring
Said To Be Slated to Go to
Yankees for Him.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The recent
Eastern visit of President Ban John
son will probably result in a trade be-
tween the Yankees and the Athletics If
the plan suggested by the American
leader materializes. AS it is almost
certain that Ray Caldwell will return
to the ranks of the Yanks, an effort
will be made to trade him to Connie
Mack for "Rube' Oldring, the veteran
outffelder, and Catcher Jack Lapp.
Although Caldwell f1irted with the
Feds last season after he left the
Yankees. and accepted advance money,
it is known that he did not sign a
contract. although he promised to play
with the Buffalo club of the new league
next season. Caldwell has never SUBJ
mitted to the rules OF discipline of the
local club, but as he is a valuable
pitcher, the American League is anx-
ious to keep him and put him under
Connie Mack's care.
Oldring is one of the players Mack
wants to get rid of in the renovation
of the former worlds champions, along
with BENDER, Plank, and Coombs. 1t
is stated that there was a lack Of
harmony among the Athletics last sea-
son between the young and old players
and Mack has confided to his friends
that he would bring about harmony
on his club even If he had to get a
team of high school players
President Farrell of the Yankees has
seen so much of Caldwell's violation Of
rules that he would be glad to figure
hlm IN trade which would be of bene-
mt TO the Yankees. 1t is stated that in
building up the Yankees an effort will
be made to engage more veterans, as
the 1nexperience of many of the young
players last year was a serious handi-
cap to the team
