"And I think." I said, "that yon

Mothers' union two days In a week
and would take charge of a Girls'
Friendly society for an outing In the
country, must be daring enough for
any adventure.
"No curate," said Cable sullenly,
"would venture to marry a princess."
"Do you happen to know our patri
arch T' said the king. "No, 1 thought
not. You wonidn't talk that way
about curates If yon did. 1 assure
you, Mr. Cable, that our patriarch
would do anything. Wouldn't he, Caa

"He 'dares do all that may become
a man.' " said Casimir. " 'Approach
thou like the rugged Russian bear,
the armed rhinoceros or—' "
"Your patriarch," said Cable, 'Isn't
a curate."
"But be was once," mid the king.
"He must have been, though before
my Urns of course. They alt begin
by being curates And I assure you
he wouldn't have hesitated—except
for moral reasons of course—to marry
two or three princesses and their
mothers who would be queens If'he'd
wanted to. When I tall you that our
patriarch has often gone for me with
out a sign of nervousness and used
language you'd scarcely believe over
' some trumpery little affair about n
girl—and that was when I was a king,
an absolute monarch, remember, with
an army and all that sort of thing.
No, there's no use saying that the
clergy daren't do things"
The discussion was degenerating Into
a wrangle of purely academic Inter
est. It wa* Troyts who brought us
all back to the business on hand.
"The real question," he said, "Is not
what a curate or a bishop might do,
but what has actually happened since
the— er —the fugitives reached Lystrla.
I sent a telegram to the patriarch say
ing that the man was an Impostor. He
surety wouldn't go on with the mar
riage after that"
"Curate or no," said Cable, "I hope
the patriarch haa «hot him."
"He lies," aald Casimir, "in durance
vile. This very morning I received
from the patriarch a telegram—"
He produced it from bla pocket The
king translated it for ua. It told os
that Tommy had been pot under ar
rest
"That ia perhaps the best thing
which could have happened," said
Troyte.
But it was even on his showing, a
very bad beat The situation In Lys
trla was extremely critical. A revo
lution, carefully planned and organ
ised, had actually taken place. The
patriarch and the nobles, the only
people who counted In Lystrla, were
perfectly determined to have a king
of their own seated on the historic
throne of Wiadlaiawa the Hunter, the
founder of the Lystrian dynasty,
famous a thousand years ago for bis
skill in killing boars. They wanted
to place on somebody's bead the «Uver
gllt fillet which that monarch bad be
queathed to his successors. But If
they did anything of the sort every
Balkan state would mobilise at once
and nothing could avert a war anti
England recognised the new king
and declared herself ready to support
him. That, and the benevolent neu
trality of France, might save the situ
ation. But how could England recog
nise a revolution which had either pot
no king on the throne or set up some
Impossible person like Emily's curate?
Troyte explained all that to os,
slowly and carefully.
"But I thought," Mid Cable, "that
you'd squared the League of Nations
and aU that lot."
Troyte objected to the word
"squared." 1 dare say the League of
Nations would have objected to it too.
What be bad done, bo be said, was to
create an atmosphere favorable to the
const de ration of the Haims of an Eng
lish king to the Lystrian throne.
"Meaning Lord Norheys?" said
Cabie.
Troyte sodded. He certainly bad
not meant his "aunospbere" to en

"If Janet Church la there," I said,
"she's certain to have telegraphed to

to the prime minister and the leader

"What I want to know," said Cable»

Nobody could give him any Informa

granted by the Megallan government.
Indeed, It bad not been granted by
anybody. Ail Cable really had In

"That" said King Wiadlaiawa, "la
why I say that things had better be

"But they can't" I said. "Emily's

"1 think,'' said the king "that by
this time the young man baa probably
been released, perhaps married, pos
sibly even crowned."
"Good 0—d!" said TroVte. "You
don't mean to say you actually
think—"
The king waved his hand cheerfully.
"The patriarch," he said, "Is a man
of unbounded patriotism, devoted to
the cause of Lystrian Independence.

on the patriarch releasing him. She
may even suggest that the marriage

Then Norheys slid back the door
"which divided the compartment from
the corridor.

I felt quite sorry for Troyts He
really did talk about small nationali
ties and self-determination several
tissas during tha later years of the
war. I dare say he deserved to be
twitted with It. But I felt I must
speak a word for him.

We all felt, I think, that Norheys
had better be left to answer bis own
question. Troyte, I know, distrusts
the American formula—-"By, with, for,
to, at, In, the people." None of the
rest of os bad a formula at alL

The attendant from the restaurant

off to waken Viola. The rest of ui
