way up.
The whole crime. both the mur.

the personality OF Miss Lucy Wild
Ing. Miss Lucy during the war was
employed by the War Department
as q special secretary. She was
their star girl. being able TO take
shorthand In four European Ian
guAges. When Prince Mpsk was In
Europe st the time Of the armistice
she was lent TO him for some spec
ial work. The Prince seems to
have developed q violent infatua-
tiou for her, which, one gathers, was
reciprocsted. Miss Lucy was
wholly ignorant OF the state of AZ
fairs In Auratia. and of the kind OF
man this blackguardly Prince real
ly was. The lamentable result was
that Miss Lucy consented to return
to Aurstia with him under promise
of marriage, which was to be kept
secret until the political crisis
caused by the srmistice had
passed.
ITO fulnll the promise of secrecy
Miss Lucy had no choice but TO de-
ceive her people. with the result
that she announced that she was
going to Saloniki as q Red Cross
nurse. On their arrival In Auratia
there seems to have been some sort
of faxed marriage. the true nature
OF which She was allowed to dis
cover some three or four months
later. when the Prince tired Of her.
