CHAPTER   XI. Th# Lieutenant Receives Orders
T^fE nt-.\l day brought not. only ar agreeable change in t.he weath¬ er, but a most .surprising altera¬ tion iu the manner of Mrs. Gas¬ ton, whose attitude toward II. Schmidt and his friends had been anything but amicable up to the hour of Miss Gullo's discovery. The excellent lady, recovering very quickly from her in¬ disposition, became positively polite to the hitherto repugnant Mr. Schmidt. She molted so abruptly and so com¬ pletely that the young man was vaguely troubled. He began to won¬ der If his incognito had been pierced, BO to sp'ak.
He forbore asking when Miss Guile might be expected lo appear on deck for her constitutional, but sho volun¬
teered   the   Information,   which   was , ,.,.,,,,.      „   .,
neither   vague   nor   yet   definite.     In I ^':?!.'";' '^'L^:'^:/^^!..^^ fact,  she said that Miss Guile would be up soon.
Now it Is necessary to relate that Miss Guile had been particularly flrm In hor commands to Mrs. Gaston. In the flrst place, Mrs. Gaston was given to understlind that she was not to breathe it to a soul that R. Schmidt was not R. Hchmidt, and she was not tc betray to him by word or sign that he was suspected of being the Princo of <7raustark. Moreover, the exacting Miss Guile laid great stress upon an¬ other command — U. Schmidt was never to knov.- that she was not Miss j her sioooth brew. Kobin, considering Guile, but some one el.so altogether.      j himsolf dismissed, whirled and went
"You're rl.ght, my dear," exclaimed i his way, a dark flush spreading over Mrs. Gaston in an excited whisper as I his face. Never in all hla life had he she burst In upon her fair companion, | been quite so out ot patience with the
!     "No,  but tatner tries to  bully me, i and you know It."
I Whf'U she appeared on deck long ! afterward sho found every chair oc- j cupiod. .\ w.irm sun, a far from tur- buli'iit sea and a refreshing breeze had brought about a marvelous Irans- i formation.
I     She  made  several   brisk  rounds  of [ the   deck,   then,   feeling   that   people were following her with their eyes— ; admiringly,  to  be  sure,  but  what of I that?—she abandoned tho pleasant ex- I erclse and sought Ihe seclusion of the j sunless  corner where  her  chair  was stationed.   The ship's dally newspaper ! was just off the press, and many of the  loungers   were   reading  Ihe  bri-^'f telegraphic news from tho capitals of the  world.    She  procured  a  copy  of the   paper  from   a   steward   and   wa- glancing at the headlines as she made her   way   into   her   corner.     Doubii' leaded type apiieared over the rumor¬ ed  engagement of Miss  .Maud Ap|)Ii- gate   niithers,   the   beautiful   and   ac¬ complished daughter of the great capi¬ talist,   and   Robin,   prince   of   Grau¬ stark.     A   queer   little   smile   played about her lips as she foldi^d the parier for future perusal.    Turning the cor¬ ners of the deck building, she almost collided  with R.  Schmidt,  who stood k-aning against the wall, scanning the little newspaper with eyes tbnt wern blind to everything else. "Oh!" sho gasjied.
"I'm sorry," ho exclaimed, crurapUng the paper in his hand as he backed away, flushing. "Stupid of me. Good morning."
"Good morning, Mr. Schmidt. !• wasn't your fault. I should have look ed where I was going. I see you have a [laper. It appears that Miss Blith¬ ers and the prince are to be married after all."
"Yes, it is quite apparent th;it the Rlitliers family wants a title at any cost." he said.

Hefore deciding she shot an Investi¬ gating glance into the corner. Mr.--. Gaston was not only there, but was engaged in conversation with the gray mustached gentleman in a nearby chair. It required but half a glance to show that Mr. Totten was unmis¬ takably interested in something the voluble lady had just said to him.
"No, thank you. Mr. Schmidt," said Miss Guile hasHly, and then liurried over to her chair, a distinct cloud hn

The prince had stopped puffing at his pipe.
"Really, you know, Dank, I ought to dlsmi.rs Ho'.ibs," s.'iid Robin irritably. "He is getting to be a dreadful nui¬ sance. Always nosing around trving to"—
"Cut, after ;:!1, sir, you'll have to ad- mil  that he has made a puzzling dis-

who was having coffee and toast in her parlor. .Marie, the maid, was waiting to do up her mistress' hair, and tho young lady herself was allur¬ ingly churm4ng in spite of the fact that it was not already "done up." "He is the—er—he is just what you think."
"Good heavens, you haven't gone and done it, have you?" cried the girl, a slim hand halting with a piece of toast halfway to her Ups.
"Gone and done It?"
"You haven't been blabbing, have you?"
"How can you say that to me? Am I not to be trusted? Am I so weak and"—
"Don't cry, you old dear! Forgive me. But now tell me—absolutely— just what you've been up to," and Mrs. Gaston repeated every word of the conversation she had had with R. Schmidt, proving absolutely nothing, but stoutly maintaining that her in¬ tuition was completely to be depended upon.
"And, oh," she whispered In conclu¬ sion, "wouldn't it bo perfectly wonder¬ ful if you two should fall in love with each other"—
"Don't be silly!"
"But you ha\'e said that if he should fall in love with you for yourself and not because"—
"I have also said that I will not marry any man-—prince, duke, king, count or anything else—unless I am in lovo with him. Don't overlook that, please."
"But he is really very nice. I should think you could fall in love with him. Just think how it would please your father and mother.    Just think"—

"Here comes Mr. Schmidt," whis¬ pered Mrs. Gaston excitedly a few moments later and at once made a movement indicative ot hasty de¬ parture.
"Sit still." said Miss Guile peremp¬ torily.
R. Schmidt again pa.-^si'd them by without so much a-s a glance in their direction. There was a very sweet smile on Miss Guile's lips as she closed her eyes and lay back in her chair. Once, twice, thrice, even as many as six times R. Schmidt strode rapidly by their corner, his head high and his face aglow.
At last a queer little pucker appear¬ ed on the serene brow of the far from drowsy young lady whoso eyes peeped through half closed lids. Suddenly she threw off her rug with a brief re¬ mark to her companion, arose and went to her cabin. Mrs. Gaston fol¬ lowed, not from choice, but because the brief remark formed a eomuiand.
Soon afterward R. Schmidt, who had been joined by Dank, throw himself into his chair with a great sigh of fatigue and said:
" 'Gad, I've w.alked a hundred miles since breakfast.   Have you a match?"
"Hobbs has made a very curious discovery," said the young lieutenant, producing his matchbox. There was a perturbed look in his eyes.
"If Ilobbs isn't careful he'll discover a new continent one of these days. Ho is always discovering something," said Robin, pulling away at his pipe.
"But this is really interesting. It seems that ho was in the hold when Miss Guile's maid came down to get into   one   of   her   mistress's   trunks.
covery.    Why should her luggage be marked with a B?"
"I should say because her name be¬ gins with a B," said Robin shortly.
"In that case it isn't Guile." ¦   "Obviously."    The  young  man  was thinking very hard.
"And if it isn't Guilo there must be an excellent reason for her sailing un¬ der a false n.amc." "Have you a theory?" "There are many that wo couh Vance, but, of course, only one of ' could be the right one, even if we \> ¦ . acute enough to include it In our list of guesses.   Sho may h.T.ve an imperative reason for not disclosing her identity. For   instance,   she   may   be   nmnini; away to get married." "That's possible," agreed Robin. "But net probable.    She may be a popular music hall favorite or one of those     peculiarly     clever     creatures known   as   the   American   newspaper woman, against whom we have been warned.   Don't you regard It as rather Bigniflcant that of all the people on this ship sho should be tho one to attach herself to the unrecognized Prince of Graustark?   Put two and two together, sir, anil"—
. "I flnd It singularly difficult to put one and one together. Dank," said the princo ruefully. "No, you are wrong in bcitli nf your guesses."
"So be It," said Dank, but with doubt in his eyes. "You ought to know. I've never spoken to her, so"—
"She thinks you are a dreadfully at¬ tractive chap, Dank," said Robin mis¬ chievously.    "She said BO only yester¬ day." Dank  gave  his  princo  a  disgusted
ness,"  lamented  Danic sunny.    "Put- I ting myself up as a contender against a fellow like Robin and dreaming that I could win out, even for a minute! Good Lord, what nn ass I am!    Why, we've   only   made   il   worse,   count. We've touched him with the spur of rivalry, and  w^hat  could  be  more ca¬ lamitous   than   that?    From   being   a rather matter of fact, indifferent ob¬ server, he becomes a bewUderiug cav¬ alier bent on conquest at any cost.   I am swept iLslde as if I were a parcel of rags.   For two d.iys I stood between him and the inoomiiarable Jliss Guile. Then   he   suddenly   arouses   himself. My cake is dough.    I am nobody.  Tho beautiful   .Miss   Guile   has   bewitched our prince, and my labor is not only lost, but I myself am lost.   Mon dieu!"
The count stared at him in perplex ity for a moment. Then a look of sur¬ prise came into his eyes—surprise not unmlngled with scorn.
"You don't mean to say,. Dank, that you've fallen in love with her? Oh, you absurd fledgelings.   Will you"—
"Why not?" broke in Dank fiercely. "Why should it ai)pear incredible to you? Is shi- not the most entranci.n-;- creature in all the world? I.i ahe not tho mo:-;l ;i'^i,ealing, the most adorabi'-. iuost fee-: ¦ :.'il her sexV   'I'!:''
