Neither the Prince of l Graustark nor the Crown Princess of wsbergen-whose mother was a Miss Beverly Calhoun of Virainia-was disposed to listen to the voice of ex-

Two men were they who would have given a thousand lives in the service of their prince. No less loyal was the body servant who looked after the personal wants of the eager young traveller, an Englishman Of the name of Hobbs. A very poor valet was he, but an excep- tionally capable person when it came to the checking of luggage and the di- vining of railway timetables. He had been a guide for a tourist agency. It
