then they were off, UP an endless, click
ing roadway, where at the top the car
hung for a breathless second over the
gulf below; then, fairly launched, out
on trestle, with the city far beneath
them, and only the red, white, and blue
lights for company; and into tunnel,
filled with roaring noises and swift
moving shadows. Then came the end
of all things-a flying leap down, q
heart-breaking, delirious thrill, an up
ward sweep just as the strain was too
great for endurance.
Above the roaring Of the wind in
their ears, neither child had heard the
flying feet of dozen horses coming
down the alice. They never knew that
hatless young lieutenant, white
Tipped with fear, had checked his
horse to its launches at the ticket
booth, and demanded to know who was

But Hedwig's lieutenant had wheeled
his horse without a word, and, jump
ing him over the hedge Of the alice,
was off in despairing search Of the
outskirts Of the park, followed by his
cavalrymen.
AS the last horse leaped the hedge
and disappeared, the car came to q
stop at the platform. Quivering

casional rumble that told of some pal
pitating soul being at that moment
hurled and twisted and Joyously
thrilled, as per the lieutenant's descriD-
ton.
Now it is a strange thing, but true,
that one does not reach the land of
desire alone; because the half OF
pleasure is the sharing of it with some
one else, and the land of desire, alone,
is not the land Of desire at all. Quite
suddenly, Prince Ferdinand William
Otto discovered that he was lonely. At
that moment there was soft whfrring

and eager, few to that lighted wing

CHAPTER II.
Dlsuraced.

At eight o'clock that evening the
Grown Prince Ferdinand William Otto
approached the palace through the
public square. He approached it
slowly, for two reasons. First, he did
not want to go back. Second, he was
rather frightened. He had an idea
that they would be disagreeable.
There seemed to be a great deal go
ing on at the palace. Carriages were
rolling In under the stone archway
and, having discharged their contents,
mostly gentlemen in uniform, were
moving off with laundering Of hoofs
that reached from the vaulted roof of
the entrance. All the lights were on
In the wing where his grandfather,
the king, lived alone. As his grand
father hated lights, and went to bed
early, Prince Ferdinand William Otto
was slightly puzzled.
He was very dirty. His august face
was streaked with SCOT, and his au-
gust hands likewise. His small derby
hat was carefully placed on the very
back Of his head at the angle Of the
American boys cap. AS his collar had
scratched his neck, he had, at Bob
by's suggestion, taken 1t off and
rolled it up. He decided, as he waited
in the sQlare, to put It on again.
Miss Braithwaite was very peculiar
about collars.
Came a lull in the line of carriages.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto took
a long breath and started forward.
AS he advanced he stuck his hands
in his pockets and staggered trif1e.
It was, as nearly as possible. an ex-
act imitation Of Bobby Thorpe's walk.
And to keep up his courage, he quoted
that young gentleman's farewell
speech to himself: "What d you
care? They won't eat you, will they?"
Prince Ferdinand William Otto stood
in the shadows and glanced across
The sentries stood like wooden men,
but something was wrong in the court
yard inside. The guards were all
standing, and there seemed to be a
great many of them. And just as he
had made up his mind to take the
plunge, so to speak, part of his own
regiment Of cavalry came out from the
court yard with laundering Of hoofs,
wheeled at the street, and clattered
off.
Very unusual, all of it.
The Crown Prince Ferdinand Otto
felt in his pocket for his handkerchief,
and, moistening corner with his
tongue, wiped his face. Then he wiped
his shoes. Then, with his hands in
his trousers pockets, he sauntered in
to the light.
The two sentries made no sign
when they saw Ferdinand William
Otto approaching. But one of them
forgot to bring his musket to salute.
He crossed himself instead. And
something strained around the other
sentry's lower jaw suddenly relaxed
into smile as his royal highness
drew a hand from it's refuge and sa-
luted. He glanced at one, then at the
other, rather sheepishly, hesitated be-
tween them, clapped his hat on more
securely, and marched in.
.aThe young rascal" said the Sec
ond sentry to himself. And by turn
ing his head slightly-for a sentry
learns to see all around like horse,
without twisting his neck-he watched
the runaway into the palace.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto went
up the stone staircase. Here and
there he passed guards who stared and
saluted. Had he not been obsrssed
with the vision Of Miss Brafthwaite,
he would have known that relief fol-

guy ropes of waxed thread, and a
wooden rudder, its motive power
vested In a tightly twisted rubber. One
of the wings was bent. Ferdinand
William Otto Strengthened it, and
looked around for the owner.
A small boy was standing under the
next gas lamp. "Gee" he said In
English. did you see 1t go that
timer"
Prince Ferdinand William Otto eyed
the stranger. He was about his own
age, and was dressed in a short pair
of corduroy trousers, much bloomed at
the knee, pair of yellow Russia
leather shoes that reached well to his
calves, and, over all, shaggy white
sweater, rolling almost to his chin. On
the very back of his head he had the
smallest cap that Prince Ferdinand
William Otto had ever seen.
'This is the best time for flying"
he said, in his perfect English. "All
the exhibition flights are at shutdown. .
The boy walked slowly over and
stood looking down at him. "You ought
to see it fly from the top of Pixies
Peak!'' he remarked. He had caught
sight Of the despised derby, and his
eyes widened, but with instructive
good breeding he ignored 1t. THAT'S
Pixies Peak up there"
He indicated the very top Of the land
Of desire. The prince stared up.

Ladders. My fathers the manager.
He let's me up sometimes
Prince Ferdinand William Otto
stared with new awe at the boy. He
found the fact much more remarkable
than if the stranger had stated that
his father was the king Of England.
Kings were, as you may say, directly
in Prince Ferdinand William Otto's
line, but scenic railroads
II had thought Of taking a journey
on it," he said, after seconds re-
Rection. 'Do you think your father
will sell me ticket?"
'Billy Grimm will. TIL go with
you"
The prince rose with alacrity. Then
he stopped. He must, Of course, ask
the strange boy to be his guest. But
two tickets! Perhaps his allowance
was not sufficient.
81 must see first how much 1t costs"
he said with dignity.
The other boy laughed. ooh, gee |!
You come with me. It won't cost any
thing" he said, and led the way
toward the towering lights.
For Bobby Thorpe to bring a small
boy to ride with him was an everyday
affair Billy Grimm, at the ticket win
dow, hardly glanced at the boy who
stood, trembling with anticipation, in
the shadow of the booth.
The car came, and they climbed in.
Perhaps, as they moved off, Prince
Ferdinand William Otto had Qualm,
occasioned by the remembrance Of the
English child who had met an un-
timely end; but if he did, he pluckily
hid it.
"Put your lid on the floor Of the car"
said Bobby Thorpe, depositing his own
atom there. Father says, If you do
that, you're perfectly safe"
Prince Ferdinand William Otto d.
vined that this referred to his hat,
and drew small breath of relief. And
