CHAPTER  IX. The Prince Chats With Miss Guile. HE plderly lady wa.s tupping the deck   with   a   most   impatient foot.   "Really, my dear, we were quite  within  our  rights  in  ap¬ proaching the head waiter.   He"—
"He said it was engaged," interrupt¬ ed Uta young lady. "R. Schmidt was the name hi' gave, and I informed him It meant nothing for me. I am very sorry, Mr. Schmidt. I suppose it was all because I am so accustomed to having my own way."
"In that case it is all very easy to understand," said he, "for I have al¬ ways longed to be in a position where I could have my own way. I am sure that If I could have it I would be a most overbearing, selfish person."
"We must Inquire at the offlce for the letter, dear, before"—
'It may have dropped behind the chair," said the girl.
"Right!" cried R. Schmidt, dragging the chair away and pointing in tri¬ umph at the missing letter. He stoop¬ ed to recover the missive, but she was quick to forestall him. With a little gasp she pounced upon it and, like a child, proceeded to hold it behind her back. He stiffened. "I remember that you said it was from your father."
She hesitated an instant and then held it forth for his inspection, rather adroitly concc^aling the postmark with her thumb. It was addressed to "Miss B. Guile, S. S. Jupiter, New York City, N. Y.," and typewritten.
"It is only fair that we should be quits in every luirticuiar," she said, with a frank smile.
He bowed. "A letter of introduc¬ tion," he said, "in the strictest sense of Ihe word. You have already had my card thrust upon you, so every¬ thing is quite regular. And now it is only right and proper that I should see what has become of your chairs. Permit me"—
"Really, Miss Guile," interposed her companion, "this is quite irregular. I may say it is unusual. Pray allow me to sugge.st"—
"I think it is onlv rieht that Mr. Schmidt shoulil return good for evil," inierrupled the girl gayly. "Please in¬ quire, Mr. Schmidt. No doubt the deck stewanl will know."
Again the prince bowed, but thi.- timo there was amusement instead of uncertainty in his eyes. It was the first time that any one had ever urged him, even by inference, to "fetch and rarry." Moreover, she was extremely cool about it, as one who exacts riuieh of young men In seige suits and outing caps. lie found him¬ self wondering what sho would say if he were to suddenly announce that he was the Prince of Graustark. The thought tickled his fancy, accotint- ing, no doubt, for the even deeper bow that hi< gave her.
"They can't be very far away," he observed (luite meekly. "Oh. I say. steward! One moment, here." A deck steward approached with alacrity. "What has beconte of Miss Guile's chair?"
The young man touched his cap and beamed joyously upon the fair young lady.
"Ach! See how I have forgot! It is here! The best place on the deck- on any deck. See! Two—side by side above the door, away from the draft —see, in the corner, ha, ha! Ye;-! Two by side. The very best. !Mi.<.i Guile complains of the draft from tht door. I exchanged tho chairs. See! But I forgot to speak.   Yes!   Bee!"
And, sure enough, there w«ie tlie chairs of Miss Guile and her compan ion snugly stowed away in the cuv- ncr, standing at right angles to tlv I long row that lined the deck, tho foot rests pointed directly at the chair R. Schmidt had just vacatml, not more than a yard and a half away.
"How stupid!" exclaimed Miss Guile. This is much better. So sorry, Mr. Schmidt, to have disturbed you. I abhor drafts, don't you?"
"Not to ih(> t xient that I shall move out of this one." he replied gallantly, "now that I've got an undisputed claim to It. Ato, you not going to .'^ii down, now that we've captured tin- disappearing chair?"
"No," she said, and ho fancied lie saw regret in her eyes. "I am goiu,; to my room if I can find it. No doal)t It alho is lost. This seems to bo a day for niisplaciiig things."
"At any rate, permit me to thank you for discovering me, Mi.ss Guile." "Oh, I daresiiy 1 shall minplaco you, too, Mr. Schmidt." She said it so In¬ solently that ho flushed as he drew himself up and stepped aside to allow her to pa.ss. Kor an Instant their eyes met, and the sign uf the humble was not to be found In the expression of either.
"Even   that  will   bo something for me to look forward to, -Miss Guile," said  he.   Far from being vexed, she favored  him  with a faint smile of was it wonder or admiration?
Then she moved away, followed by the uneasy lady-who was old enough to be her mother and wasn't.
Robin remained standing for a mo¬ ment, looking after her. and some¬ how he felt that his dream was not yet ended. She turned the corner of the deck building and was lost to sight. He sat down, only to arise al¬ most instantly, moved by a livelier curiosity than he ever had felt be¬ fore. Conscious of a certain feeling of stealth, he scrutinized the cards in the backs of the two chairs. The steward was collecting the discarded steamer rugs farther down the deck, and the few passengers who occupied chairs appeared to be snoozing all of which he took in with his first ap¬ praising glance. "Mi.ss Guile" and "Mrs. Gaston" were the names he read.
"Americans," he mused. "Young lady and chaperon, that's it. A real American beauty! And Blithers loud¬ ly  boasts  that  his  daughter  la  the
prettiest girl In America! Shades of Venus! Can there be such a thing on earth as a prettier girl than this one?   Can nature have performed the
"She's supposed to be very good looking.    I've never seen her."
"How .'lueer to be asking me if I know her, then.   Why do you ask?"
"I've heard so much about her lately. She is the daughter of William Blith¬ ers, the greai capitalist."
"Oh, I know who he is," she exclaim¬ ed. "Perfect roodles of money, hasn't he?"
"Roodles?"
"Loads, if it mean.-' more to you. 1 forgot that you are a foreigner. He gave that wonderful ball last week for tlK- Prince of of-oli, some Insig- nincant place over in Europe. There are such a lot of queer duchies and principalities, don't you know; it is quite impossible to tell one from thi other. They don't even appear on the maps."
He took it with a perfectly straight face, though secretly annoyed. "If was the talk of the town, that ball. It mu>it have cost roodles of money. Is that right?"
"Yes, but it doesn't sound right-when you say it. Naturally one doesn't say roodles in Vienna."
"We say noodles," said he. "I am very fond of them.   But to resume.   I
Buppcwed every one in New York knew Miss  Blithers.     She's  quite  the  rage, I'm told." "Indeed?    I should think she might

second place t(j a daughter of Blith¬ ers? I wonder if sho knows the im¬ perial Maud. I'll make it a point to inquire."
Moved by a sudden restlessness, he decided that he was in need of exer¬ cise. After completely circling the deck once he decided that he did not need the exerci.se after all. His walk had not benefited him In the lea.-^t. He returned to his chair. As he turn¬ ed Into the dry, snug corner he came to an abrupt stop and stared. Miss Guile was sitting in her chair, neatly Incased In a mummy-Ilke sheath of gray that covered her slim body to the waist.
She was quite alone in her nook, and re«ding. An astonishing intr»p- Idlty Induced him to speak to her aft¬ er a lapse of five or six minutes, and so surprising was the Impulse that he blurted out his question without pre¬ amble.
"How did you manage to get back so quickly?" he Inquired.
She looked up, and for an Instant
there   wa»;  something  like  alarm   In i smile for him.
Ho smiled introsjiectively. "Yes,-and I am told that in spite of them she Is tho prettiest girl in New York."
She appeared lo lose interest in the topic.   "Oh, indeed? "
"But," he supplemented gracefully, "It isn't true."
"What isn't true?"
"The statement that she is the pret¬ tiest gir! in New York."
"How can you say that when you ad¬ mit you've never seen her?"
"I can say It with a perfectly clear conscience, Miss Guile," aaid he and was filled with delight when she bit her lip a.n a sign of acknowledgment.
"Oh, here comes the tea!" she cried, with a strange eagerness in her voice. "I am BO glad." She scrambled grace¬ fully out of her rug and arose to ber feet.
"Aren't you going to have some?" he cried.
"Yes," she said qutte pointedly. "In my room, Mr. Schmidt." And before he could get to his feet she was mov¬ ing away without so much as a nod or
her lovely eyes, as of one caught In the perpetration of a guilty act.
"I    beg   your    pardon."    she    said, rather indistinctly.
"I  was away  less  than eight  min¬ utes," he declared, and she was con¬ fronted by a wcmderfully frank smtle that never failed to work its charm. To his Burprt.se, a shy smile grew In : her   eyes,   and   her   warm   red   lips j twitched uncertainly.   He had expect- ] ed   a  cold   rebuff.    "You   must   have : dropped through the awning?" j

The following day was as unlike its predecessor as black is like white. During the night the smooth gray pond had been transformed into a turbulent, storm thrashed ocean. Only the hardiest of the passengers ventured on deck.
R. Schmidt, being a good sailor and a hardy young chap, albeit a prince of royal blood, was abroad early. He took two turns about the deck, and each time as ho passed the spot he sent a covert glance into the corner whore Miss Guile's chair was stand¬ ing.   Of course he did not expect tt
wiiaiy ai a post actually some ten feet away, but which appeared to be coming toward her with obliging swiftness, so nicely was the deck ro¬ tating for her. "Mon dieu! Mon dieul"
"You may go back to bed, Marie," cried her mi.stress In som'   haste.
"But ze rug, I feex it," groaned the
unhappy maid,   and   then   once   more,
I "Merci,  m'sieur!"    She   clung  to  the
arm he extended and tried bravely to
smile her thanks.
"Here!    Go  In  through  this  door," he said, bracing the door open  with his elbow.    "You'll be all right in a little  while.    Keep  your nerve."    He closed the door after her and turned to the amused Miss Guile.    "Well, it's an 111 wind that blows no good," he j said enigm.itically, and she flushed un der the steady smile In his eyes.   "A! low me to arrange your rug for vou Miss Guile."
"Thank you, no. I think I wouh! better go inside. It Is really to . windy"—
"The wind can't get at you back her>' in this cubbyhole," he protested. "D i sit down. I'll have you as snug as a bug In a rug before you can say Jack
Roblnnon. Se«! Now stick 'em out and I'H wrap it around them. There! You're as neatly done up as a mummy and a good deal better off, because you are a long way short of being 2,000 years old."
"How is your head, Mr. Schmidt?" she inquired, with grave concern.' "You seem to be quite crazy. I hojie"— "Every one Is a little bit miid, don't you think, especially in moments of great excitement. I daresray my head has been turned quite appreciably, and I'm glad that you've been kind enough to notice It. Where is Mrs. Gaston?" He was vastly e-xhilarated.
She regarded him with eyes that sparkled and belied the unamlable na¬ ture of her reply.
"The poor l;uly is where she is not at all likely to be annoyed, Mr Schmidt."
Then she took up a magazine and coofly began to run through the pages. He waited for a moment, considerably dashed, and then said, "Oh," in a very unfrtvndly manner. She fotind her place in the magazine, assumed a more comfortable position and with noteworthy resolution set about read¬ ing as it her life depended upon It. (To be Continued)

How  It  Looked to  Him.
"Ah. do tell me sdiuefljliig about the play last night. They say tliat climax at the close of the third act was sim¬ ply grand." she said.
"Yes. I am inclined to think it was very goftd." he rei)lied without any marked degree of enthusiasm.
'Can't you describe it to me?" she continued, beaming radiantly.
"Why." exiilaiiied he. "the heroine came stealthily on the stage and knelt, dagger in huiul. behind a clumi) "f blue ribbons.

"You would not be interested. It is by an American."
"I have road a great many Ameri¬ can novels." said he stiffly. ".\Iy father was an Ai.uorican. Awfully jolly books, most of them."
"I looked you up in the passenger list a moment ago," she said rooUy. "Your home is in Vienna. I like Vienna."
He was looking rather Intently at the book, now partly lowered. "Isn't that tho passenger list you have con¬ cealed in that book?" he demanded.
"It is," she replied i>romptly. "Y'ou will pardon a natural curiosity? I wanted to see whether you were from New York."
"May I look at it. please?"
She closed the book. "It isn't neces¬ sary.   I am from New Y'ork."
"By tho way, do you happen to know a Miss Blithers—Maud Blith¬ ers?"
Miss Guile frowned reflectively. "Blithers?    Tho  name  is a familiar
j but—well, he looked, and that is the : end to tho argument.

At last the young man battled his j way down the deck and .soon found : him.self In the well protected corner. I A half dozen unoccupied chairs were j cluttered about, having been aban- j doned by persons who overestimated i their hardiness. One of the stewards ! was engaged in stacking them up and ; making them fast. |
Miss Guile's chair and that of Mrs. | Gaston were stanchly fastened down i and   their   rugs   wore   In   place.    R. Schmidt    experienced    an    exqtiisite sense of pleasure.   Here was a perfect exemplification of that much abu.sed ! thing  known   as circumstantial  evi-- : dence.   She contemplat>-d coming on \ deck.    So  ho   had  his  chair  put   In ' place, called for his rug. shrugged his ; chin down into the collar of his thick ulster and sat down to wait.
She literally was blown into his presence. Ho sprang to his feet to check her swift approach before she could be dashed against the uall or upon the heap of chairs In the corner. She uttered an excited little shriek as she came bang up against him and found his ready arms closing about her shoulijers.
