The young man took q government job
where his English education proved valuable
and al pvas well until the wretchcd war
came along All that was asked Of little
Trengganu was to step up its tin mining
but that did not satisfy Mahmud.
The blood of his fighting ancestors boileu
in his veins The royal house Of Treneeanu
must be represented in this war against his
country's ally and protector So the Prince
informed his brother that ne planned TO Join
the Royal Air Force
They could get some Englshman from
Singapore TO hold down his job But the sui
tan refused 10 lel-hln
"Mahmud' he said you know perfectly
we'll that according TO ancient custom and
tradition no prince Of our house IS permitted
the honor of battle unless he had left behind
a man-child to take his place, if he falls"
The Prince tried 10 argue that his death
would be unimportant far as the dynasty
was concerned but the Sultan steniy re-
minded him that when they forgave that
other irregularity Of marrying a commoner
he had given his word Of honor not to break
any more customs by doing outlandish things
Yes he remembered that and there seemed
no alternative but TO go back TO his drcary
desk job and just then. the Princess Bright
eyes made interesting announcement
When he repeated the news to his brother
the Sultans stern face relaxed.
"All right go" he said You pct of

To save time You may start now so the baby
will be born in England. II it's a man-chld
az I have little doubt IT viii be, for I feel
that there Is Fate in this, you may that very
day join the Royal Air Force
SO off they went on the long and danger
Gus journey to arrive without encountering a
hostile submarine plane.
All those who had fancied Joyce wouldn't
be a princess now stared with profoundest
admiration as she opened trunk after trunk
of treasures.
The Prince, meanwhile, explained the sit
uation TO the proper officials and asked 10
begin training at once because he was posi-.
tive that his child would be boy.
But the recruiting officers were not so
sure. Planes and instructors were scarce
therefore except for physical examination
the RAE refused to bother with him until
the other day when he appeared triumphant

a Malay girl who knows nothing of the world
outside he would be unhappy"
Finally the BRITISH Government though
throwing no confetti nor comforting any
blessing on the union said there would bc no
opposition. provided the ceremony be post
poned for a few months until the Prince came
of age
So everybody was ready for a happy end
ing The Prince threw party to celebrate
loves victory and that same magic produced
some more jewelry and handsome blue grey
squirrel coat.
The bridesmaids daughter and royal
prince were married at st Giles Registry
Office oxford, just after Mahmuds twenty
first birthday The bride was truly lovely
in a white silk frock and silver fox cape.
The cape was from the bridegroom whose
genie was getting better and better.
After a fine send-off by the townspeople
of Oxford they sailed for Trengganu and a
royal welcome by everyone from the Sultan
down.
The Trengganu and British Governments
solemnly eoncurred in comforting upon the
bride the title of Princess Brighteyes. The
natives thought Brighthair would have been
much better for that was what they marvelled
at most of alb

The Sultan was furious commoner,

his family whose members always had mar

idea was unthinkable Prince Mohamed. his
stepfather and all the lesser relatives were

lords at Singapore what he thought of the
madness" and they relayed it to London.
where the Colonial office promptly shut off
the Princes allowance.
Well that's that" said Joyees friends
sadly we fancy you won't be a princess
after all"
But they did not know Mahmud. who comes
of fighting stock. He ISSUED an interview
which promptly won the sympathy of the
English public.

provided my wife is accepted by my people
and that we are given chance to enjoy our
happiness together" -
Having issued this statement Mahmud
started the long journey home to face the
music. raising the price of his passage in the
same mysterious way as his jewelry. But at
Marseilles he received message from
trusted friend stating that upon arrival in
Trengganu he would be thrown into Jail and
kept there until his love had cooled.
Before putting his h ad in the lions
mouth Prince Mahmud thought he would tele-
phone to his fiancee That wise young lady
advised him to come right back to London and
try by cable to get his mother to intercede
for him
He did so and long and ominous silence
followed Then came a favorable omen The
unromantic agent for the Crown Colonies let
go of two months back allowance and then
came official notice that Joyce's future
mother-in-law had softened up the opposition.
The Sultan relented. the lesser members
of the family followed suit and the stepfather
came around most handsomely of all, with the
following:

Yet tiny Trengganu is no mean friend in

war time.
Sun under forty when he first visited Lon
don. the Sultan was thunderstruck by the
SIGHT of,a modern, industrial civilization. He
knew that>bis little backward country must
soon feel the shock of this sort of thing and
realized that his own education was not fit to
cope with it.

younger brother, Prince Mahmud TO absorb IT.
The young prince did not mind being col
lege boy and went away promising to become
as much a typical Enghshman as he could
manage in four years Mahmud kept that
promise faithfully in fact overdid it, accord
ing 10 the notions of all the royal house of
Trengganu except his mother.
Quickly he adapted himself to the ways
and dress of oxford. that ancient scat of learn

hues betrayed itself IN bathrobes and dressing
gowns with all the colors of the spectrum
The keen but quiet youth was popular
and invited everywhere Everywhere he went

After seeing Joyce there was no other

The parents Of the belle Of Oxford pros
porous taiiors and shopkeepers were not very
enthusiastic when their daughter told them

They had scarcely heard Of Trengganu
