there, l suppose, for all good Ger

the photographs, one of them i'm

Considerably astonisbed. Dan
descended to the library, found the
book, and turned to page 6s. Yes,
there was a photograph of the en-
rcror, with the empress and Prin-
cess Victoria; another of the
'rown prince, with his wife and
children; another OF the princes

Dan.

Chevrial smiled.

that IS the a S here. Before / left
Paris, heard rumors of indiscre-
tons on the prince part with a
young lady in Berlin, which had
made his father very angry. This
journey, perhaps, is a penance. At
least, it is worth Investigating
1T certainly u.s." agreed Dan
warmly, and fell silent, bordering
how best to prove or disprove this
extraordinary story. 1t was de-
<cidedly of the sort the Record
liked; if he could only verify it,
his return to the office would be
in the nature of a triumph! But
to prove it,! Well, there were
ways!
A low exclamation from his
companion brought him out of his
thoughts.
"Behold!'' said Chevrial; and,
far away to the right, Dan caught
the CLEAN Of a light.

stocky figure suddenly thrust
itself between them, and Dan
found himself gazing into a pair
of irate eyes.
"What is this?" demanded the
newcomer, though his voice, too,
was carefully lowered. who are
you, sir?'
Dan felt his good resolutions
ooze away at the others brutal
manner.
II am a reporter" he said.
"What is your businessY'
"Gathering news"
"Your business here, | mean?"
81 was just interviewing the
prince" explained Dan, blandly.
"The Record would be very glad
to have his opinion of the Moroc-
can situation, of the Italian war,
of the triple entente, or of any
think else he cares to talk about.
Perhaps he could find a theme in
the destruction of La Liberte."
He spoke at random, and was
surprised to see how fixedly the
other nan regarded him, with
eyes in which apprehension seemed
to have taken the place of anger.
Zone moment said Pachmann,
for it a he, and he turned and
spoke a few rapid words of Ger
man to the prince, who REDEEMED
and nodded sullenly. Dan judged
from the sound of the admiral's
subsequent remarks that he was
swearing; but he preserved a
pleasant countenance, the more
easily since, happening to glance
up, he saw Chevrial leaning over
the rail Of the boat deck just
above them and regarding the
scene with an amused smile. At
last, having relieved his feelings,
the admiral fell silent and pulled
absently at the place where his
moustache had been.
When does your paper APP
pearl" Pachmann asked at last.
Tomorrow morning."
"You would not wish to use the
interview before that time?"
"No."
Pachmann breathed a sigh of re-
lief, and his face cleared.
"Then we are prepared to make

you an interview which l am sure

agree?"
Dan reflected rapidly that he
had nothing to lose by such an
agreement; that 8 o'clock would
release him from his promise in
ample time to write his story; and
the interview might really be i'm
portant.

Pachmann, impatiently.
"That the interview be exclu-

Dan explained.
