nise q revolution which had either put
no king on the throne or set mp some
impossible person like Emily's curatef
Troyte explained all that to us
slowly and carefully.
"But I thought" said Cable. shat
you'd squared the League Of Nations
and all that lot"
Troyte objected TO the word
squared" dare say the League Of
Nations would have objected to II too.
What he had done, so he said. was to
create an atmosphere favorable to the
consideration Of the claims OF an Eng
fish king TO the Lystrian throne.
Meaning Lord Norheysf" said
Gable.
Troyte nodded. He certainly had
not meant his "atmosphere" to en-
velop Emily's curate.
"In my opinion" said the king. "the
best thing for Us TO do is to leave
things rs they are"
Surely" said. mot exactly as
they are. That curate belongs more
or less TO my sister Emily and she's
bent on finding him. Therell be a
frightful row II she discovers him lying
In dungeon In Lystria."
Nobody need ever know" said
Cable.
THE English lady who accompanied

Of the facts, and II I judge her char

lis what's going to happen about my
oil concessionf"
Nobody could give him any informa.
ton about that. II had not been
granted by the Megalian government.
Indeed. II had not been granted by
anybody. All Cable really had In
writing was q promise that Il would
be granted by the king OF Lystria
when he was safe on the throne.
That" said King wiadislaws lis

left a. they are"
But they can't. I said. "Emily's
curate can't be left In prison. You
don't know my sister Emily or you
wouldn't suggest IL. Besides there's
Janet Church to be reckoned with"
~. think" said the king. that by
this time the young man has probably
been released. perhaps married. pos
sibly even crowned"

The king waved hls hand cheerfully.
The patriarch he said, us a man
Of unbounded patriotism. devoted to
the cause Of Lystrian independence.
