X \f I (Continued.» CHAPTER X. A Prince's Heart at Stake. HE prince .sat Oown, i)ullf'd the rug up to his chin and .stared out at tlie great, Ii<!aving bil¬ lows. Suddenly reiHMnberinK another injury, lie felt nnee more of the hack of his head. "By jove!" ho exclaimed. "There i;-- a lump there." "I can't hear you," sh; said, allow¬ ing tho munazine to drop into lier lap, but kcei)inff her place carefully marked with one of her lingers. "I can hear you perfectly," he .said. "It'.s tlie way the wind blows," she explained. "Easily remedied," said he. "I'll move into Mr::. Gaston's chair if you think it will help any." "Dol" she said promptly. "You will not disturb me in tlie loa.st- unless you talk." She resumed her reading, half a page above the finger tip. He moved over and arranged him¬ self comfortably, snugly in JMrs. Gas¬ ton's chair. Their elbows almost met. He was prepared to be very patient. For a long time she continued to read, her warm, rosy cheek half averted, her eyes applied to their task with irritating constancy. Pie did not despair. Some wl.^o person once had told him that It was only nec- e.ssary to give a woman sufllcient time and she would bo the one to de¬ spair. A few passonger.s possessed of proud sea legs staggered nast the snug cou¬ ple on their ridiculous rounds of the ship. If they thought of Miss Guile j and R. .Schmidt at all it was with the scorn that i.j usually devoted to youth j at its very best. There could be no doubt in the pa.ssing mind that these two were sweethearts who managed to thrive on the smallest ot coin- forts. At last his patience was rewarded. She lowered the magazine and stifled a yawn—but not a real one. "Have you read it?" she inquired composedly. "A part of it," he said. "Over your shoulder." "Is that considered polite in Vienna?" "If you only knew wliat a bump I've got on the back of my head you wouldn't be so ungracious," he .said. "I couldn't possibly know, could I?" He leaned forward and indicated tho spot on the back of his head, first re¬ moving Ids cap. She laughed nerv¬ ously, and then gently rubbed her fin¬ gers over tho thick hair. "There is a dreadful lump!" she ex- clnimecT. "Oh, how sorry I .im. Do— do you feel faint or—or—I mean, is it The "Keep Cool" underwear is always the ;;;; most popular underwear for the summer months li made in union suits or separate garments—in- -{f eluding the genuine B V U label. $1 each suit. 3'' Underwear for boys all styles union suits or >| separate garments at 2.^c and 50c, ^t very painful?" "Not now," he replied, replacing his cap and favoring her with his most I engaging smile. j She smiled in respon.se, betraying not the slightest sign of embarrass- I raent. j "Am I to regard you .ns a hero?" "If you will bo so kind, please." She laughed outright at this. "I i think I rather like you, Mr. Schmidt," she said, with unexpecled candor. "Oh, I fancy I'm not at all bad," said he, after u momentary stare of aston¬ ishment. "I am especially good in rough Weather," ho went on, trying to forget that he was a prince of tho royal blood, a rather difficult matter when one stops to consider he was nut in tho habit of hearing people say that they rather liked liini. "Do your friends come from Vlen na?" she inquired abruptly. "Yes." ho sirid. and Uien laved his TAILOR, OLOmiSIRi HATB AN'D FURNIBHDrGB.

It w:is not in liim to lie outrlglit; lience tho handy way ot appeasing his con¬ science. "They are very interesting looking men, especially tho younger. I can¬ not remember when I have seen a more attractive man." "He is a splendid chap," exclaimed Robin, with gonuin(.- enthusiasm. "I ;im very fond of Dar.k." She was silent for a moment. Some¬ thing had failed, nnd she was rather Klad of it. "Do you lik(> New York?" she asked. "Immensely, 1 met a groat many delightful people there. Miss Guile. You say you do not know tho Blithers family? Mr. Blithers is a r.are old bird." "Isn't there some talk of his daugh¬ ter being engaged to the Prince of Graustark?" He felt that his ears were rod, "Tho newspapers hinted at something of the sort, I believe," Ho was suddenly posso;„"( d by the curious notion that ho was being "pumped" by his fair companion. Indeed, a certain insis- j tent note -had crept into her voice, and I her oj'es were searching his with an ; Intentaess that had not aiipearod In them until now, "Have you si>on him?" "The prince?" "Yes. What is he like?" "I've seen pictures of him," he equivocated, "Rather nice looking, I should .say," "Of course he is like all foreign r > blemen and will leap at the Blither.s millions if he gets the chance. I sometimes feel sorry for the poor wretches," There was more scorn than pity in tho way she said it, hov.-- ever, and her velvety eyes were sud¬ denly hard and uncompromising. He longed to defend himself, in tho third person, but could not do so for very strong and obvious reasons. Ho allowed himself the privilege, how¬ ever, of declaring that foreign noble¬ men are not always as black as they are painted. And then, for a very ex¬ cellent reason, he contrived to change the subject by a.sking where she was going on the continent, "I may go to Vienna," sho said, with a smile that served to puzzle rather than to delight him. He was more than ever convinced that she was playing with him. "But pray do not look so glootny, Mr. Schmidt, I shall not make any deipands upon your time while I am there. You may"— "I am quite sure of that," he inter¬ rupted, with his ready smile. "You see, I am a person of no consequence in Vienna, while yon— Ah, well, as an American girl you will bo hobnob¬ bing with the nobility while the hum¬ ble Schmidt sits afar off and marvels at the kindness of a fate that befell him in tho middle of the Atlantic ocean, and yet curses tho fate that makes him unworthy of the slightest notice from the aforesaid Am<'rican girl. For, I daresay, Miss Guile, you, like all American girls, are ready to | leap at ti'ies," "That really isn't fair, Mr. Sciimidt," she protested, flushing. "Why should i you and I quarrel over a condition I that cannot apply to either of us? : You are not a nobleman, .and I am not a title seeking American girl. So, why all this beautiful irony?" "It only remains for me to humbh- beg your pardon .and to add that if you come to Vienna my every waking hour shall bo devoted to the pleasure of"— "I am sorry I mentioned it, Mr, Schmidt," she Interrupted coldly, "You may rest easy, for I shall not keep you awake for a single hour. Be¬ sides, I may not go to Vienna at all," "I am sure you would like Vienna," he said, somewhat chilled by her manner. "I have been there with my par¬ ents, but it was a long time ago. I once saw tho emperor, and often have I seen the wonderful Prince Licititen- stein." "Have you traveled extensively in Europe?" She wa.s smiling once more, "I don't know what you would consider extensively," she said. "I was edu¬ cated in I'aris, I have spent innumer¬ able winters in Rome and quite as many summers in Scotland, England, Switzerland, Germ"— ' "I know who you are!" he cried i out enthusiastically. To his amaze- 1 ment a startled expression leai>ed | i into her eyes. "You are traveling un- i i der an a.ssumed name," She ri-inain- ed perfectly still, watching hlui with an anxious .smile on her lips, "You are no other than Miss Baedeker, the well known authoress." 'It seemed to him that she breathed deeply. "In that ease my pseudonym should be Guide, not Guile," she cried mer¬ rily. The dimples played in her check.s. and her eyes were dancing. "B, stands for Baedeker, I'm sure, Baedeker Guide, If the B, isn't for Baedeker, what is it for?" "Art> you asking what the B really stands for. Mr. Schmidt?" "In a roundabout way. Miss Guile," he admitted. "My name is Bedelia," she said, with absolute Bincerity, "Me mither is Irish, d'ye see?" "By jove. it's worth a lot of trouble to get you to smile like that," he cried admiringly, "It is the llrst real¬ ly hiuu'st smile you've displayed. If you knew how it improves you you'd bo doing it nil of the time," At this juncture the miserable Hobli.: hove into sight, not tigrurative- ly, but literally. Ho came surging acros.i the deck in a mad dash from I unahlo to hold up 'is head," I Jiobln read it through, and at the end u'histled softly, "Take it to Mr. Totten, Hobbs, and see If it will not serve to make him hoM up his Iiead a little." "Very good, .sir. I hope it will. Wouldn't it be wise for me to han- nounce who it is from, sir, to sort of prepare him for"— "Ho knows wh') it in from, Hobbs, so you needn't worry. It is from hoi.ie, if it will interest you, Hobbs." "Tliank you, sir: it does interest me. I thought it might be frotn Mr. niithor:\" Robin's rcowl sent him scuttling invay a great deal more rigidly than when he came, "Idiot!" r.iuttered the young man, ^till scowling. There was :;i]ence between tho two for a few seconds. Then she spoke :!isinteroKtedly: "Is it from the Mr, Blithers who lias the millions and the daughter iVho wants to marry a prince?" "Merely a business transaction, ' Miss Guile," he said absently. He was thinlting of Romano's message, "So it would appear." Wire truth t. H'jurou villi n: , *\ nat fioes u aii ini;;iii, ie.

In the adjoining suit Miss Ouiie wa.: shaking Mrs. Gaston out of i' long courted and much needed .•^lei ; The poor lady sat up and blinii- : feebly at the excited, starry eyed girl. "Wal;e up!" cried Bedelia impa¬ tiently. "What do you think? I have a perfectly v onderful suspicion—per¬ fectly wonderful." "How can you be so unfeeling?" inoaned tlie limp lady. "This R. Schmidt is Prince Rol*n of Grau.stark!" cried the girl excit¬ edly. "I am sure of it- just as sure as can be," Mrs. Gastop's eyes were popping, not (vith amazement, but alarm, "Do lie down, child," sho whim¬ pered, ".Marie! The sleeping pow¬ ders at once!

After a moment sho looked away, lior first surrender to the mysterious something that lay de*>p in his. Suddenly, and witliout reason, she appeared to bo bored. As a matter of fact, she hid an incipient yawn be¬ hind her small gloved hand, "I think I shall go to my room. Will you kindly unwrap me, Mr. Schmidt?'^ He promptly obeyed, and then as¬ sisted her to her feet, steadyirg her against the roll of the vessel.

"Not now," he replied, replacing his cap and favoring her with his most I engaging smile.
j She smiled in respon.se, betraying not the slightest sign of embarrass- I raent.
j "Am I to regard you .ns a hero?" "If you will bo so kind, please." She laughed outright at this. "I i think I rather like you, Mr. Schmidt," she said, with unexpecled candor.
"Oh, I fancy I'm not at all bad," said he, after u momentary stare of aston¬ ishment. "I am especially good in rough Weather," ho went on, trying to forget that he was a prince of tho royal blood, a rather difficult matter when one stops to consider he was nut in tho habit of hearing people say that they rather liked liini.
"Do your friends come from Vlen na?" she inquired abruptly. "Yes." ho sirid. and Uien laved his

taco as usual by adding under hl.>i breath, "but they don't live there." It w:is not in liim to lie outrlglit; lience tho handy way ot appeasing his con¬ science.
"They are very interesting looking men, especially tho younger. I can¬ not remember when I have seen a more attractive man."
"He is a splendid chap," exclaimed Robin, with gonuin(.- enthusiasm. "I ;im very fond of Dar.k."
She was silent for a moment. Some¬ thing had failed, nnd she was rather Klad of it.
"Do you lik(> New York?" she asked.
"Immensely, 1 met a groat many delightful people there. Miss Guile. You say you do not know tho Blithers family? Mr. Blithers is a r.are old bird."
"Isn't there some talk of his daugh¬ ter being engaged to the Prince of Graustark?"
He felt that his ears were rod, "Tho newspapers hinted at something of the sort, I believe," Ho was suddenly posso;„"( d by the curious notion that ho was being "pumped" by his fair companion. Indeed, a certain insis- j tent note -had crept into her voice, and I
her oj'es were searching his with an ; Intentaess that had not aiipearod In them until now, "Have you si>on him?" "The prince?" "Yes. What is he like?" "I've seen pictures of him," he equivocated, "Rather nice looking, I should .say,"
"Of course he is like all foreign r > blemen and will leap at the Blither.s millions if he gets the chance. I sometimes feel sorry for the poor wretches," There was more scorn than pity in tho way she said it, hov.-- ever, and her velvety eyes were sud¬ denly hard and uncompromising.
He longed to defend himself, in tho third person, but could not do so for very strong and obvious reasons. Ho allowed himself the privilege, how¬ ever, of declaring that foreign noble¬ men are not always as black as they are painted. And then, for a very ex¬ cellent reason, he contrived to change the subject by a.sking where she was going on the continent,
"I may go to Vienna," sho said, with a smile that served to puzzle rather than to delight him. He was more than ever convinced that she was playing with him. "But pray do not look so glootny, Mr. Schmidt, I shall not make any deipands upon your time while I am there. You may"—
"I am quite sure of that," he inter¬ rupted, with his ready smile. "You see, I am a person of no consequence in Vienna, while yon— Ah, well, as an American girl you will bo hobnob¬ bing with the nobility while the hum¬ ble Schmidt sits afar off and marvels at the kindness of a fate that befell him in tho middle of the Atlantic ocean, and yet curses tho fate that makes him unworthy of the slightest notice from the aforesaid Am<'rican girl. For, I daresay, Miss Guile, you, like all American girls, are ready to | leap at ti'ies,"
"That really isn't fair, Mr. Sciimidt," she protested, flushing. "Why should i you and I quarrel over a condition I that cannot apply to either of us? : You are not a nobleman, .and I am not a title seeking American girl. So, why all this beautiful irony?"
"It only remains for me to humbh- beg your pardon .and to add that if you come to Vienna my every waking hour shall bo devoted to the pleasure of"—
"I am sorry I mentioned it, Mr, Schmidt," she Interrupted coldly, "You may rest easy, for I shall not keep you awake for a single hour. Be¬ sides, I may not go to Vienna at all," "I am sure you would like Vienna," he said, somewhat chilled by her manner.
"I have been there with my par¬ ents, but it was a long time ago. I once saw tho emperor, and often have I seen the wonderful Prince Licititen- stein."
"Have you traveled extensively in Europe?"
She wa.s smiling once more, "I don't know what you would consider extensively," she said. "I was edu¬ cated in I'aris, I have spent innumer¬ able winters in Rome and quite as many summers in Scotland, England, Switzerland, Germ"— '
"I know who you are!" he cried i out enthusiastically. To his amaze- 1 ment a startled expression leai>ed | i into her eyes. "You are traveling un- i i der an a.ssumed name," She ri-inain- ed perfectly still, watching hlui with an anxious .smile on her lips, "You are no other than Miss Baedeker, the well known authoress."
'It seemed to him that she breathed deeply.
"In that ease my pseudonym should be Guide, not Guile," she cried mer¬ rily. The dimples played in her check.s. and her eyes were dancing.
"B, stands for Baedeker, I'm sure, Baedeker Guide, If the B, isn't for Baedeker, what is it for?"
"Art> you asking what the B really stands for. Mr. Schmidt?"
"In a roundabout way. Miss Guile," he admitted.
"My name is Bedelia," she said, with absolute Bincerity, "Me mither is Irish, d'ye see?"
"By jove. it's worth a lot of trouble to get you to smile like that," he cried admiringly, "It is the llrst real¬ ly hiuu'st smile you've displayed. If you knew how it improves you you'd bo doing it nil of the time,"
At this juncture the miserable Hobli.: hove into sight, not tigrurative- ly, but literally. Ho came surging acros.i the deck in a mad dash from
I unahlo to hold up 'is head," I Jiobln read it through, and at the end u'histled softly,
"Take it to Mr. Totten, Hobbs, and see If it will not serve to make him hoM up his Iiead a little."
"Very good, .sir. I hope it will. Wouldn't it be wise for me to han- nounce who it is from, sir, to sort of prepare him for"—
"Ho knows wh') it in from, Hobbs, so you needn't worry. It is from hoi.ie, if it will interest you, Hobbs."
"Tliank you, sir: it does interest me. I thought it might be frotn Mr. niithor:\"
Robin's rcowl sent him scuttling invay a great deal more rigidly than when he came,
"Idiot!" r.iuttered the young man, ^till scowling.
There was :;i]ence between tho two for a few seconds. Then she spoke :!isinteroKtedly:
"Is it from the Mr, Blithers who lias the millions and the daughter iVho wants to marry a prince?"
"Merely a business transaction, ' Miss Guile," he said absently. He was thinlting of Romano's message,
"So it would appear."

"It was of no ee;-.. .;quence, BchmiTlt," she said i.ii:ily.

"Wal;e up!" cried Bedelia impa¬ tiently. "What do you think? I have a perfectly v onderful suspicion—per¬ fectly wonderful."
"How can you be so unfeeling?" inoaned tlie limp lady.
"This R. Schmidt is Prince Rol*n of Grau.stark!" cried the girl excit¬ edly. "I am sure of it- just as sure as can be,"
Mrs. Gastop's eyes were popping, not (vith amazement, but alarm,
