W, bjr CorC 8rr McCaieHeen GiwriilKt. IWti by Ootid. Ht4 ft T Company CHAPTER tl. ' ' i A KTETDTa 07 TUX CABCfXT, jT this time the principality of M Graustark was in a most JraL prosperous condition. Its af fairs were under the control of an able ministry, headed by tho venerable Count Halfont. The Duko of Perse, for years a resident of SL Pe tersburg and a financier of high stand ing, had returned to Edelweiss soon after the distressing death of the late Princess Tctlrc and her American hus 3and. and to him was Intrusted the treasury portfolio. The financing of the great railroad project by which Edelweiss was to bo connected with the Siberian line In the crth fell to his lot at a time when no ene -else could hare saved the little government from heavy losses or even bankruptcy. The opening of this narrative finds the ministry preparing to float a new 5.000.000 gawo Issue of bonds for con struction and equipment purposes. iWMs of the government were rcaay to tit-part for London and Paris to take up tbr matter with the great banking feouscs. St. Petersburg and Berlin were ot to be given the opportunity to gob ble up these extremely Que securities. Thl3 seemingly extraordinary exclu sion of Russian and German bidders "was the result of vigorous objections Talsed by an utter outsider, the Amerl Iron Count. Tullls had not seen the count, hut he had heard such talcs of him that ho could not but pity this glorious young creature who called him husband, At present wo aro permitted to at tend a meeting of the cabinet, which sits occasionally In solemn collective ncss just off tho throne room within the tapestried walls of a dark little antechamber known to the outside world as tho "room of wrangles," The question under dlscusslou rclntes to tho loan of 5.000.000 gavvos. before mentioned. At the head of the long table, perched upon an augmcntary pllo of lawbooks, surmounted by a lit tlo red cushion, sits the prince, almost lost in tho hugo old walnut chair of his forefathers. Tho prince was a sturdy, curly haired lad, with big brown eyes and a lam entably noticeable scratch on his nose, acquired in less stately but more prof itable pursuits. (It seems that ho had peeled his noso whilo sliding to second base In a certain American game that ho was teaching the juve nile aristocracy how to play.) About the table tat tho three regents and tho other men high in the adminis tration of affairs, among them Gen eral Braze of the army. Baron Putts of the mines, Itoslon of agriculture. The Duke of Perse was discussing tho great loan question. The prince was watching his gaunt, saturnlno face 'with more than usual Interest. "Of course it is not too late to rescind tho ordcj promulgated at our fast sit ting. There nre Dvo bankers lu St Petersburg who will finance tho loan without delay. We need not delay tho Interminable length of time necessary to secure the attention and co-opera tion of bankers in France and Eng- l land. It is all nonsense to say that I Russia has sinister motives in the mat ter. We need the money before tho i whom Tullla lit oneoXnew"Tobo "an American. Ho was seated on a bhj bowlder at the romlsldo enjoying tho shade. At his Ride was the fussy, well known figure or Cook's Inter preter eagerly pointing out certain Im portant personages to hint as they passed, Of course the approach of tho prince was the excuse for consider nblo agitation and fervor on the part of the man from Cook's. Ho mounted the bowlder and took off his cap to wave It frantically "It's tho prince!" he called out to Truxtou King. "Stand up! nurrayl Lour live the prince!" The man from Cook's came to grief. Ho slipped from his perch on the rock and came floundering to tho ground. The spirited pony that tho prlnco was riding shted and reared In quick afTrlght. Tho boy dropped his crop and clung valiantly to tho reins. A guardsman was at the pony's head in an Instant. Truxton King picked up the riding crop, strode out Into tho roadway and handed it up to tho boy In tho saddle. "Thank you," said Prince Bobby, "Don't mention It," said Truxton I King, with his most engaging smile, j "No trouble at all." (To Be Continued.)

"Couldn't I. Uncle Caspar?" The Duke of Perse suddenly bent forward and placed his bouy hand upon the unshrinking shoulder of the prince, his eyes gleaming klndjy, his voice strangely free from Its usual harshness. "You are a spleudid little man. Prince Robin." he said. "I glory in you. I shall not forget the lesson in loyalty that you have taught mo." Bobby's eyes filled with tears. Tho genuine humility of the bard old man touched his tempestuous little heart. "It's it's all right, du your grace. I'm soxry I spoke that way too." As the prince strode soberly from tho "room of wrangles" every eye was of age, but even at that rather imma ture time of life he mid come to be recognized as a shrewd, successful financial power in his home city. New York At the very zenith of his pow er he suddenly-and with quixotic dis Wgard for consequences gave up his own business and came to Granstark for residence, following a promise "satie to Grenfall Lorry when the lat ter lay dying In a little Inn near Brus sels. They had .been lifelong friends. Tul lls Jestingly called himself the little lirlnce's "morganatic godfather." For two years he had been a constant resi dent of Granstark. His wide awake, resourceful brain, attuned by nature to the difficulties of administration, lent Itself capably to tbe solving of many knotty financial puzzles; tho ministry was, never loath to call on him for advice and seldom disposed to disregard it An outsider, ie never offered a suggestion or plan BnaRked. To this single qualification e owed much of tbe popularity and -esteem in whicb be was held by the classes and the masses. Socially bo 'was a great favorite. He enjoyed tbe freedom of tho most exclusive homes In Edelweiss. There was but one man connected -with tbe government to whom the pop ularity and Influence of John Tullls proved distasteful. That man was the Duke of Perse. On more than one occasion the cabinet bad chosen to bo gaided by the sagacity of John Tullis to preference to following the lines 3M down by tbe astute minister of finance. - Tbe decision to offer the new feoed issue In London and Paris was dae to tho earn est. forceful argument of John Tullls outside tbe cabinet -chamber, to be sure. This was bur one Instance in which the plan of the treasurer was overridden. He resent ed the plain though delicate Influence of the former Wall street man. Tullls h&d made it plain to tbe ministry that Graustark could not afford to place it self tn debt to the Russians, Into whose .
