ed was bound to be drawn into the
cataclysm not as a belligerent or an
ally, but In the matter of loan that
inconveniently expired within the year
and which would hardly be renewed

resources. two years of famine having
fallen upon the people at a time when
prosperity was most to be desired.
1t was the private opinion of Mr..
Blithers that the young prince and the
trusted agents who accompanied him
OH his journey were in the United
States solely for the purpose Of arrang-
ing loan through sources that could
only be reached by personal appeal.
But all this is beside the question.
The young Prince of Graustark was
enjoying American hospitality. and no
matter what he owed to Russia. Amer
lea owed to him its most punctillious
consideration.
The main point is that the prince was
now rusticating within what you might
call a stones throw of the capacious
and lordly country residence Of Mr.
Blithers; moreover, he was an uncom-
monty attractive chap, with laugh
that was SO charged with heartiness
that it didn't seem possible that be
could have a drop Of royal blood In his
vigorous young body. And the perfect.
ly ridiculous part Of the whole situa-
ton was that Mr.. and Mrs. King lived
in a modest, vine covered little house
that could have been lost in the ser
wants quarters at Blitherwood. Espe-
cially aggravating, too, was the Kings
attitude. They were really nobodies.
so to speak. and yet they blithely
called their royal guest Bobby and
allowed him to fetch and carry for
their women folk quite as II he were
an ordinary whippersnapper up from
the city to spend the week end. IT.
The remark with which Mr.. Blithers
introduces this chapter was in response
to an oft repeated declaration made by
his wife, Mrs. Blithers merely had
stated-but over and over again-that
money couldn't buy everything In the
world. referring directly to social emf,
hence and indirectly to their secret

royal blood for their daughter Maud.
She had prefaced this opinion. how
ever, with the exceedingly irritating
insinuation that Mr.. Blithers was not
In his right mind when he proposed in
viting the prince to spend few weeks
at Blitherwood. provided the young
man could cut short his visit in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. King. who. he
had asseverated, were In no position to
entertain royalty as royalty was in the
habit of being entertained.
Long experience had taught Mr..
Blithers to read the lip and eye Ian
guage with some degree Of certainty,
so by watching his wife's indignant
face closely he was able to tell when
she was succumbiBg TO reason. He
was burly domineering person who
reasolfed for every one within range OF
his voice. and ii was only when his
wife became zcoldly sarcastic that he
closed his ears and doomed his opin-
ions into her very teeth. so to say, JOY

which ii were futile for her to attempt
to deny. He WIS aware quite as much
