stantly two menials in red TUNES
appeared. Bring three glasses OF
champagne commanded the prince
and some ices he added majes-
tikally. The goods appeared as
if by majic and the prince drew
out a cigar case and passed IL
round.

All yes agreed the earl.

crown being royal has many pain
full drawbacks.
True unused the Earl.
Silence fell and the strains of
the band could be heard from the
next room. Suddenly the prince
gazed at Mr. Salteena. Who did
YOU say you were he asked in a
puzzled tone.
Lord Hyssops responded our
hero growing purple at the lie.
Well you are not a bit like the
Lord Hyssops / know replied the
Prince could you explain matters.
Mr. Salteena gazed helplessly at
the earl who had grown very
pale and seemed lost for the mo-
ment. However he quickly re-.
covered.
He is quite alright really Prince
he said His mother was called Miss
Hyssops of the Glen.
Indeed said his royal Highness
that sounds correct but who was

Then Mr. Salteena thourght he
would not tell lie so in trembly
tones he muttercd My poor father

a very honest one ! may add and
passing rich he was called Dom

The Prince stroked his yellow
beard and rarther admired Mr.
Salteena for his truthful utter

to the big room where the nobility
was whirling gaily roand the more
searious peaple such as the prime
minister and the admirals etc
were eating ices and talking pas
sionately about the laws in a low
undertcne.
The earl was soon mingling
gaily in set of lancers but Mr.
Salteent dare not because Of his
trousers. However he sat on q
velvit chair and quite enjoyed
over hearing the intelligent con-
versation Of the prime minister.
And now we will leave our hero
enjoying his glimpse of high life

CHAPTER 6
High Life

RR SALTEENA awoke next
M morning in his small but
~> pleasant room. 1t was done
in green and white with Monagrams
on the toilit set. He had a tiny
white bed with a green quilt and a
picture Of the Nativaty and one Of
Windsor Castle on the walls. The
sun was shining over all these
things as Mr. Salteena opened his
sleepy eyes. Just then there was
rat tat on the door. Come In call
ed Mr. Salteena and in came Ed
ward Procurio balancing tray
very cleverly. He looked most
elegant with his shiny black hair
and pale yellow face and half shut
eyes. He smiled in a very mys-
tearious and superior way as he
placed the tray on Mr.. Salteenas
pointed knees.
Your early beverage he an
nounced and began TO pull up the
blinds still smiling to himself.
Oh thank you cried Mr. Salteena
feeling very towzld compared to
this grand fellow. Then to his
great surprise Procurio began to
open the wardrobe and look at
Mr.. Salteenas suits making italian
ordinations under his breath. Mr.
Salteena dare not say word so
he swallowed his tea and eat a
Marie biscuit hastily Presently
Procurio advanced to the bed with
a bright blue serge suit. Will
YOU wear this today sir he asked
quietly.
Oh certainly said Mr. Salteena.
And a clean shirt would not
come amiss said Procurio what
about this pale blue and white
stripe.
With pleasure replied Mr. Sal
teena. SO Procurio laid them ont
in neat array also a razer and
brush for shaving. Then he open
ed a door saying This is the bath
room shall | turn on hot or cold.
| don't mind said Mr. Salteena
feolinr very hot and irnorant.
It is best for you to decide sir
said Procurio firmly.
Well / will try cold said Mr..
Salteena feeling it was more
manly to say that. Procurio bow
ed and beat a retreat to the bath
room. Then he returned and told
Mr. Salteena that when he was
washed he would find his breakfast
in the sitting room. When Mr.
Salteena was dressed in his best
blue suit and clean shirt he stroled
into the sitting room where a gay
canary was singing fit to burst in
the window and a copple of doves
cooling in a wicker cage. A CHEEKY
smell greeted him as Procurio

Minnit closed his eyes with a
tired smile. Not kind sir he NUT
tered quite usual. -
Oh really said Mr. Salteena feel
ing rather fiabergasted we'll good
by my good fellow and he slipped
2l6 into the buffers open palm.
Mr.. Salteena had to travel first
class as active Horace ran on to
buy the ticket which he presented
with low bow the Times and It'd
Bits. Oh many thanks my man
said Mr.. Salteena IN a most airy
voice now will you find me cor
ner seat In the train eh.
II there is one sir replied Horace.
In got Mr. Salteena to his first
class Garage surrounded by his
luggage carefully piled UP by kind
ly Horace. The other passengers
looked full OF envy at the curly
white wig and green plush uni
form OF Horace. Mr. Salteena
crossed his legs in a lordly way
and flung a fur rug over his knees
though he, was hot enough in all
.consciunce. He began to feel this
was the thin end OF the partition
and he smiled as he gently tapped
the letter in his coat tail pocket.
When Mr. Salteena arrived In Lon
don he began to strolle up the
principle streets thinking how gay

CHAPTER 5
The Crystal Palace

A BOUT 9 o'clock next morning
"A Mr. Salteena stood bag in
q hand in the ancestle hall
waiting for the viacle to conway
him to the station. Bernard Clark
and Ethel were seated side by side
on a costly sofa gazing abstractly
at the parting guest. Horace had
dashed off to put cn his cooked hat
as he was going in the baroushe
hut Francis Minnit was roaming
about the hall we'll prepared for
any deed. 49,
Well said Bernard putting at his
meershum pipe ] hope you will ret
on All am sure YOU have that
little letter to old Clincham eh.
In deed | have said Mr.. Salteena
many thanks for the same and
do hope Ethel will behave prop
erly.
Oh yes expect she will said
bernard with a sigh.
Il always do said Ethel in a
snappy tone.
Inst then there was a great clat-
tor outside and the sound OF hoofs
and a loud neigh. The barouche

slowly. =, ,
Quite correct sir said Minnit
finging wide the portles.
Well goodbye All old man said
pernard Clark good luck and God
bless you he added in a Plus tone.
Not at all said Mr.. Salteena !

been short and sweet well goodbye
Ethel my child he said as bag in
hand he proceeded to the door.
Francis Minnit bowed low and
handed a small parcel to Mr.
aalteena few SANDWICHES for the
jorney sir he remarked
Oh this is most kind said Mr.
Salteena ,

all was. Presently he beheld a
resterant with a big Menu outside
and he went boldly in.
1T was . sumpshous spot all done
up in gold with plenty of looking
glasses. Many hansome ladies
and gentlemen were already par
taking of. choice food and rich
wines and whiskey and the scene
was most lively. Mr. Salteena
had a little whiskey to make him
feel more at home. Then he eat
some curry to the tune of a merry
valse on the band. He beat time
to the music and smiled kindly at
the walters and he felt very ex-
cited inside. l am seeing life with
vengeance he muttered to himself
as he paid his bill at the desk.
Outside Mr. Salteena found a tall
policeman. Could you direct me to
the Crystale Palace if you please
said Mr.. Salteena nervously.
Well said the geniul policeman
my advice would be to take cab
sir.
Oh would it said Mr. Salteena
then / will do so.
He hailed a Hansome and got
speedily in to the Crystal Palace
he cried gaily and holding his
bag on his knees he prepared to
enjoy the sights of the Metropolis.
1t was a merry drive and all too
soon the Palace heaved in view.
Mr. Salteena sprang out and paid
the man and then he entered the
wondrous edifice. His heart beat
very fast as two huge men in gold
braid flung open the doors. Inside
was a lovely fountain in the middle
and all round were little stalls
where you could buy sweets and
lemonade also scent handkerchiefs
and many dainty articles. There
were a let of peaple but nobody
very noticeable.
At last after buying two bottles
of scent and some FARTHER nice
sweets which stuck to his teeth Mr.
Salteena beheld a wooden door
on which was nailed notice say
ing To the Privite Compartments.
All ha said Mr.. Salteena to HIM
self this is evidently my next
move, and he gently pushed open
the door straitening his top hat as
he did so. Inside he found himself
in dimly lit passage with thick
and handsom carpet. Mr. Salteena
gazed round and beheld in the
gloom very superior gentleman
in full evening dress who was
reading a newspaper and warming
his hands on the hot water pipes.
Mr. Salteena advanced on tiptoe
and ccughcd gently as so far the
gentleman had paid no attention.
However at the second cough he
raised his eyes in q weary fashion.
do you want anything he asked in
a most noble voice.
Well | am seeking the Earl of
Clincham he began in a trembly
voice are you by any chance him
he added most respectfully.
No not exactly replied the other
my namo happens to be Edward
Procurio. | am half italian and l

What chambers asked Mr. Sal
teena blinking his eyes.
These said Edward Procurio
waving a thin arm.
Mr. Salteena then noticed sew
eral red doors with names of peo-
pie on each one. Oh / see he said
then perhaps you can tell me

However, he sat on a velvit chair
and quite enjoyed over hearing

with men of noble nature dressed
like the earl in satin knicker-
boccers etc and with ladies OF
every hue with long trains and
Jewels by the dozen. You could
hardly moove in the gay throng.
Dukes were as nought as there
were a good lot of princes and
Arch Dukes as it was very
Superior levie indeed. The earl
and Mr. Salteena struggled through
the crowd till they came to plat
form draped with white velvlt.
Here on golden chair was seated
the prince of Wales in lovely
ermine cloak and a small but costly
crown. He was chatting quite
genially with some of the crowd.
Up clambered the earl followed
at top speed by Mr. Salteena.
Hullo Clincham cried the Prince
quite homely and not at all grand
so glad you turned up quite
squash ell.
A bit over p0Werlng your nlHh-
ness said the earl who was quite
used to all this may I introduce
my friend Lord Hyssops he is
staying with me so thought l
would bring him along if you
don't mind Prince.
Not at all cried the genial prince
looking rather surprised. Mr.
Salteena bowed so low he nearly
fell off the platform and as the
prince put out hand Mr. Salteena
thought he had better kiss it. The
Prince smiled kindly am pleased
to see you Lord Hyssops he said
in a regal voice.
Then the Earl Clipped in and
how is the dear Queen he said
rcveruntly.
Not up to much said his High
ness she feels the heat poor soul
and he waved to q placard which
said in large letters The Queen is
indisposed.

nobility clatter DIP. Lord Clineh-
am began TO bow right and left
raising his cooked hat to his
friends. There was lot OF laugh

finally drew up at the front door.
Two tall life guards whisked open
the doors and one OF them kindly

rather hard and gave hitch to his
