But has the crown prince only grand
father, and no father?"
HE died--the boys father. He was
murdered, and the princess his mother
also"
Bobby's eyes opened wide. "who
did itY
"Terrorists," said old Adelbert. And
would not be persuaded to say more.
That night at dinner Bobby Thorpe
delivered himself of quite a speech.
He sat at the table, and now aud then,
when the sour-faced goyerness looked
at her plate, he slipped a bit Of food
to his dog, which waited beside him.
There's very nice old man up
stairs" he said. HE has fine sword,
and ring doves, and wooden leg.
And he used to rent opera glasses to
the crown prince, only he turned them
around. I'm going to try that with
yours, mother. We had sausage to-
gether, aGa ne has lost his position,
and he's never been on the scenic
railway, father. I'd like some tickets
for him. He would like riding, I'm
sure, because walking must be pretty
hard. And what / want TO know IS
this: Why can't you give him job,
father?"
'What sort Of a job, son? A man
with one legl"
"He doesn't need legs TO chop
tickets with"
The goyerness listened. She did not
like Americans. Barbarians they were,
and these were of the middle class,
being in trade. For scenic railway
is trade, naturally. Except that they
paid a fat salary, with an extra month
at Christmas, she would not be there.
"He means the old soldier upstairs"
said Bobbys mother softly. She was
a gentle person. Her eyes were Wide
and childlike, and 1t was sort of re-
ligion of the family to keep them full
of happiness.
This also the governess could not
understand.

unused the head of the family. Head,
thought the governessl When they
wound him about their fingers She
liked men Of sterner stuff. In her
mountain country the men did ss they
wished, and sometimes Jeat their
wives by way OF showing their author

wife. He was a weakling.

"How about it. mother?' he asked.
"Shan the firm of Bobby and L offer
him job?"
Il would ike it very much" said the
weaknng's wife. dropping her eyes to
hide the pride in them.
Suppose" said the weakllng. "that
you run up after dinner, Bob, and
bring him down. Now sit sill, young
man, and finish. There's no sdch hurry
as that"
And in this fashion did old Adelbert
become ticket chopper Of the American
Scenic Railway.
And in this fashion, too, commenced
that odd friendship between him and
the American lad that was to have
so vital an effect on the very life IT.
