“ Does seem a bit of a facer just at

way to look at all these things Is
this: Why not? Before you turn It
down you ought to say to yourself,
Why not? That’s what I ’ve been say
ing to myself ever since Uncle Ned
sprang It on me.”
“ Well,” I said, “ when you put It
that way I can see— I dare say you’d
make a fairly good king of some very
small country. But I still find It very
difficult to believe that your Unde
Ned really proposed It. Did he men
tion the name of the country?"
“ He did ; but It’s slipped out of my
head for the minute. It was the same
place where my greataunt Elizabeth
went with that mucker of hers one
hundred and fifty years ago."
“ Lystrla," I said. “ But— well, of
course your Uncle Edmund knows bet-
ter than I do, but I have an Impres
sion that Lystrla Isn’t an Independent
state any more.”
I was right about that. I looked
the matter up after Norheys left me.
Lystriu, once an Independent king
dom, was Incorporated into the Re
public of Megalla by the Treaty of
Trianon. Megalla Is one of those new
republics which make the map of
Europe very confusing to people like
me who knew It before the war. No
doubt the Lystrians deserved to lose
their Independence. The late king,
Wladlslaws VI, backed the wrong side
in the war and like all who did that,
lost his throne.
“ L.vstria Is the spot Uncle Ned men
tioned.” said Norheys. “ Potty little

“ I haven’t,”
said Norheys. “ At
least I hadn't until yesterday. What
sort of a bird Is he?"
I found It a little difficult to give
a clear account of Procopius Cabla
Nobody knows where he came from.

I have heard It said that he was orig

people to manufacture, anything.

suppose he might be described as a
financier. I said so to Norheys.
"Anything to do with oil?” he
asked.
"'Not that I know of.” I said, "but
he may. It wouldn't surprise me to
hear that Cable had something to do
with anything In the world if there’s
money to be made out of It.”
" I mentioned It,” said Norheys, “be
cause Uncle Ned said something about
oil in Lystrla. I can’t say I much like

talking about the empire: The prop
er thing Is to let the British empire
get what It wants with the least pos
sible fuss, whether It’s oil, or rubber,
or whatever the thing may be. Un
cle Ned seemed to think that In this
ease It was oil.”
"Is there oil in Lystrla? I never
heard of It.”
"That fellow Cable seems to have
said so,” said Norheys, "and I rather
gather—mind you. I ’m not saying this
as a certain, sure thing. My general
Impression Is that If I was king of
Lystrla, Uncle Ned and the Jolly old
empire would collar ths oil? See?”
I began to see.

"But,” I said. "If you really are to
be a king— ”
As his godfather I felt It my duty
to speak seriously to Norheys about
his future. I had thought of quite a
nice thing to say, hut he interrupted
me.
"Unele Ned wants me to.” he said.
“ It Isn’t a thing I’d have thought of
going in for all on my ow n; but when
Uncle Ned bus set Ids heart on It—
well, no fellow with any /ense of de
cency wants to start a family quar
rel by going against his relations, un
less he absolutely has to. I ’ve been
thinking things over since Uncle Ned
spoke to me. My Idea Is that a king's

say Is this: Most fellows are all right

and want the other fellow to do It.
Whereas the other fellow knows real
ly Just as well as they do. And my
idea I»: Let him. So long as It
doesn't annoy anybody else much, let
him.”
Norheys' political principles struck
me as sound. I felt that. If ever he
became king o f Lystrla. I should like
to go and live there. Taxes ought to
be ligh t; for the greater part of our
national Income seems to go in pay
ing officials to compel people to do
things they don't want to. There
would be no expenditure of that sort
In Lystrla under Norheys.
“There's another Allow
In this
stunt,” he said, "besides Uncle Ned.
Ever hear of any one called Cable?”
"I've heard of Procopius Csbls,” I
said. "Everybody baa."
I took the first chance I got of
having a chat with Edmond Troyte.
He was perfectly frank with me and
told me all about the scheme for
making his nephew king of Lystrla.
He began with the political part of
the plan. The Lystrians are, so he
5 §Jd,
an intensely patriotic people,
tmd they very much dislike being
merged In the Republic of Megalla.
In fact, Edmund admitted this to me,
the framers of the Treaty of Trianon
made a mistake, a had mistake, In
depriving Lystrla of its Independence.
"They are a people,” said Troyte,
“ with a strong feeling in favor of
monarchy. They don’t like the re
publican form of government. The
aristocracy doesn’t like It. The Church
doesn’t like it, and In Lystria the
Church counts for a lot. Whatever
the patriarch says the people say aft
er him. The patriarch’s name Is
Menelaus.'’
He went on to tell me that the Lys
trians. would like to have tlielr old
king hack.
“ But that’s Impossible. The En
tente powers wouldn't stand It. Be
sides, that fellow Wladlslaws is a bad
one. He treated his wife badly, she
was an Englishwoman. As a matter
of fact, she was a distant cousin of
my own.”
Any king who treats a relative of
Troyte’s badly deserves to lose his
throne. I saw at once that Wladis-
laws had Irretrievably lost his.
‘Th* Patriarch Menelaus ami the
Lystrign aristocracy.” said Troyte,
•‘know perfectly well that they can’t
have Wladislaws hack. So, some time
ago. they asked for an Englishman.
The only condition they made was
that he should marry the ex-king’s
daughter. Of course we turned the
proposal down at once and no more
was heard of It.”
“ You seem to have turned tt up
again," I said. "Now, why?”
That, It appeared, Is where Proco
pius Cable came In. He had found
out that the l-ystrian mountains were
full of oil. He tried to get a conces
sion for the development of the oil
fields. The Megallan government hes
itated and wrangled and procrastinat
ed until Cable got tired of trying to
deal with them. They had not money
enough to develop the place them
selves. They had not the knowledge
or enterprise or energy to do It even
If they had the money. And they
would not let Cable do It. So hs
started working up patriotic feeling
|
In Lystrla. or rather financing It, for
It did not need working up. He got
Into touch with the patriarch and he
got Into touch with the aristocracy
through a certain Coant Istran Css-
linlr. He gave them all the money
they wanted.
According to Cable's
account everything was ready for g
revolution. All that was wanted wsf’
a king whom the Entente powers
would recognize. The Megallan re
public would be quite helpless if Eng
land or any other great power recog
nized the new king of Lyatrla.
