laughing.
The advent of the German waa time
ly for Peggy. She had Just fallen out
with Donald Macomber, had tent him
back the ring, and, being In the after
throes of a broken engagement, ahe
was sadly In need of diversion. The
German seemed to give good promise
of this. He was well bred, possessed
of that urbane finish that much travel j
can give, and, moreover, after that first
dance-with Peggy it was plain to be
seen he was very much in love with
her. - f v, f .f ,t. . , . ,if $

Donald. And when the comparison,
point by point, was ended Peggy was
a very unhappy girl, to whom the cas
tle in Coburg waa a nightmare.
e e e . e
And because of all those things the
throne of Coburg-Ootha barely escaped
losing Its heir.
It happened one August evening. Ills
royal nlghucsa was paddling Peirgy
slowly about the lake, singing as he
paddled little sentimental German
songs and looking very contented,
IeRST gave the song no heed. She
waa watching a solitary figure in an
approacbing canoe. The figure bent
to the paddle In an easy, familiar man
ner. There could be no mlstaklnc
those broad shoulders and that curly
brown hair. The two canoes drew
nearer. The man in the other canoe
looked up. Teggy smiled and bowed
The man nodded coldly and began to

something seemed to clutch her
throat The prince was Quite forgot

Macomber waa paddling out of her
sight and out of ber life.
"Donald r she cried.
He paddled on, with never a glance
in her direction.
"Donald. she cried again, and as he
still gave no heed ahe tremblingly stood
Ills royal highness rhnikhI.
"Sit downnit down!" he urged.
Pesrgy deliberately put one little foot
on the spremler, niul In a moment they
were in the wuter. '
When she on me to thtv surface she
was seized by a strong arm, and a big,
tender voice said evenly:
j-ioq i Birujifiie, uearest. you are
safe with me."
And Peggy closed her eyes and was
very happy.
Not so his royal highness of Coburg-
Uotha. He was flounderlne about mis
erably and shouting spasmodically be
tween choking gnrgles:
"Help in God s name, help! I do
not swim!"
The rescuers fished them out Prince
Ludwlg Wilhelm of Coburg Gotha first,
for he was far spent And while at
the inn they were rolling him in hot
blankets and pouring brandy down his
throat Peggy was laughing and crying
hysterically on the shoulder of the oth
er prince although he was not known
to the world st large by bis title, it Is
true and making a most absurd con
fession. When she had finished Don
ald's face was very grave.
"Cut If he had drowned, what then.
Peggy?" he questioned.
"Coburg-Gotha could have got along
without n prince better than I could
without yon," she said.

Derate flirtation. In a week's time
Munsterberg was her slave. Where
Peggy went there went Be, . He drove
with ber; he sailed with her on the
lake; he climbed the mountain with
her. As Peggy's satellite he seemed to
have found bis true vocation.
No one blamed Munsterberg for fall
ing in love with her. Indeed, at one
time or another almost every unmar
ried man at the lake had offered his
heart and his worldly goods to Peggy,
She was adorable from the toe of ber
trim little shoe to ber quaint little turn
up nose that always gave one an idea
of Peggy's superiority.
it is douotrui ir Peggy entertained a
really serious thought of the German
until the day Jack Motley discovered
by means of a crest on a sliver
brandy flask that worthy's true iden
tJty. Be it said of Jack Motley that
he fairly flew to Pegy with the news.
He found her in the boathouse comb
ing briers from the poodle's mane.
"Peggy, he exclaimed breathlessly,
who on earth do you suppose you
have worshiping at your shrine?"
She smiled wearily.
"Oh, you again, I suppose," she said
"His royal highness Ludwig Wil
helm, prince of Coburg-Gotha," said
Motley, with the air of profaning so
sacred a title by letting It silo from
his plebeian tongue.
Peggy stared.
"Munsterberg he's the prince-doing
America Incog.," Motley went on.
Peggy turned pale. She rose and
tripped over the poodle. Motley rat
tled out the whole story and capped it
triumphantly with a confession to the
title on the part of bis royal highness,
By the time he had finished she was
the old self possessed Peggy.
"Do you think you've told me any
news?" she asked easily. And then.
lest she should betray herself, she gath
ered up the poodle and fled to the
house.
Peggy may be forgiven If she
dreamed of many things after that
of an old gray castle In the bills of Co
burg, of three letters and a royal title
preceding her own name, of stationery
bearing the crest of the triple headed
eagle. In fact "he did dream much of
these advantages at first and the in
terestlng German of that first Wednes
day night hop was suddenly vested in
her mind 'With much romance and
much eligibility.
Then oh, heart of woman! if ter the
first romance of the thing had, worn
off and his royal highness had begun
to repeat his rather slender store of
bright remarks she found herself
dreaming of Donald Macomber and
wondering why he had not come back
to her as all the others had. She re
membered that Macomber had always
been masterful and high handed even
as a suitor and that It was because he
had been nnwilllDg to yield some triv
ial point that she had broken witl
