CHAPTER XV!—Continued —43—Either Janet had translated faithfully, or the patriarch understood this Latin. He smiled benignantly. ” k ' “But,” said Tomtny, “or rather sed nolo— Oh, look here. Mis® Church, tell him that I won’t have Calypso driven Into marrying me x if she doesn’t want to. Site said In Berlin that she wouldn't marry me, and if she feels the same way Mill, she mustn’t be bullied Into It" The patriarch explained at some length that the princess’ feelings did not matter in the least. He had brought her up himself and taught her the dudes of a princess. She would marry the man she was told to marry. This did not satisfy Tommy. "Tell the patriarch." he said to Janet, “that unless the princess agrees es her own free will. I won’t stir a foot in the matter." /" But Janet thought the conference had lasted long enough and she was getting chilly about the legs. A stonefloored hall is apt to be draughty at 3 sight and she had no stockings on. Rhe said gpod night to the patriarch •and walked off to bed. Tommy was left to his own resources.

The patriarch understood jif, smiled and, waved his puhgy fiend. Then he patted Tommy on the. Shoulder iff a most friendly and confidential manner. Count Albert attempted ad explanation in English. “That is good." he said. "Sehr gut, right - Not true? Please?" The. patriarch ordered more wine. There was much drinking of healths. Tommy’s health, the Count Albert’s, the health of each Attendant priest, Calypso’s (all standing), and Anally Janet’s. The patriarch held up Tommy’s sketch of her while he drank. The party broke up, all sober,, but as 'Tommy said afterward. “Another bottlw won I<T tatre finished'-na.." - ”-- *■' The Patriarch Menelaus would not bo happy tn America. Hie strict views about marriage might get him , into trouble with the people who appreciate the advantages of divorce. CHAPTER XVII Tommy sleft soundly. * * At six o’clock tn the morning he was half wakened by the sound of s motorcycle passing close under the window of his room. He felt slightly surprised that there should be(£uch things as motor-bicycles In Lystria. But the subject was not interesting enough to rouse him thoroughly. He slept again. At half past eight he was wakened again, this time thoroughly, and saw Count Albert stalling at his bedside. Tommy looked up and bads him a cheerful good morning. The count bowed atiffly. He held two large, leather covered books, one under each arm. It would have been difficult for him to bow otherwise than stiffly. Behind the count, standing rigidly at attention at the door of the room, were two soldiers with long rifles on which the bayonets were Axed. Thia surprised Tommy a little, but he bade the soldiers a friendly good morning. He supposed that it*must be the custom In Ixvstria to send part of the army to waken an honored guest in the morning. CounCAlbert laid one of his books on Tommy’s bed and began tunning over the pages of the other. It was a Lystrian-Engllsh dictionary. It’s compilation had been the life work of the tutor who had taught Count Istvan to read Shakespeare. It had been printed at the expense of King Wladislaws, and was that monarch’s solitary contribution to the cause of literature. Ten copies in ail had been published. Six of them were lost. One lay on a shelf In the pAlace of Count Istvan. One was in the cathedral library under the charge of the patriarch. One was kept by the head deck of the Lystrian house of lords. The remaining one. which Count Albert was using, was In the royal schiosa. Osunt Albert found the word he wanted, marked It by digging bis . thumbnail Into the paper, and then banded the book to Tommy. Like most Lystrian words, it was thickly covered with accents, and the letter X was tn It several times. The English translation was given aa: “Impostor—pretender (historical). One who assumes an Identity other than Ns own. Deceiver." Count Albert frowned severely to '* meant everything the

dictionary said. The two soldiers held their rifles at the present to show that they meant it all too. Count Albert took up the second volume of the dictionary and looked up another word. This time the English translation was: “Arrested." To prevent any possibility of mistake, he pointed first to Tommy, then the two soldiers, and then once more, to the word. Tommy had no excuse for not understanding what his position was. Count Albert looked out a, third word, and once more handed the book to Tommy. This was a short word, consisting of three letters, one of which was an X. and three accents. It meant: “Place of execution.’’ and, according to Count Istvan’s Shakespearean tutor, might also be translated: "Gallows, scaffold or guillotine.” Count Albert nodded grimly and pointed, to the soldiers.. Then he said. "Please.” ”But‘ not at this hour," said Tommy firmly. “It’s simply never done as late as tjhls. The regular time for shooting a man is dawn and that's passed for today. There won’t be another till tomorrow. Resides, you’re 1 bound to give me some sort of a trial." He took-the dictionary with the intention of looking out “shoot," "down,” ."tomorrow” and “trial,” believing in that way to make hfs meaning dear. Unfortunately, there was no EngHsh-Lystrian part of the dictionary. so Ute book was useless to . him.

Tommy Jumped out of bed and stopped him. He could not speak Lystrian and he could not use the dictionary. But he was not quite at the end of his resources. He tore our a blank sheet from the end of the dictionary and wrote a letter. “Ad Reverendlssimum beatlsslmum. excellent isslmum Patriarchum. Lystriae. Archleplscopum. cum Janetta Eccleaia (Miss Church) conversarl volo." Then he remembered that both Count Istvan and Count Albert used the word “Please" with extraordinary frequency in the most untlkely connections. It was evidently a word to which the Lystrian# attached great Importance. The ancient Romans apparently did not, for he could not’ remember a Latin eoulvalent for It. He added "SI vis” to We end of. hi® letter. and then, in order to make It quite plain that he wanted to be polite. wrote. “Bitte. STI vous plait, please." He handed the note to Count Albert. “Patriarch," he said. “Beatitude. Archbishop.' please." Count Albert scowled, but he took the note. He walked over to the door, opened It. turned, said a farewell. “Please." to Tommy, and then went out, leaving the two soldiers on guard. Tommy got up and dressed. That took him nearly half an hour. Then he smoked a pipe- Then he looked out of the window for a while. The view was entirely uninteresting, for his room looked out on a small courtyard. but It cheered him "so observe that there were no signs of the erection of a scaffold. In all the romances ■he had ever read the scaffolds for the execution -of the heroes are put up under the windows of their cells, and they are obliged to listen to the sounds of hammering and sawing even if they ..have enough strength of mind not to look out At ten otisck the door of his room was opened and a soldier rame In brine * ’•*£ breaks « "•* Lys- .

At half put ten, before he had finished eating. Janet Church waa shown in. Tommy greeted her with an eager flood of questiona. “What’s happened?" he asked. "Why am I shut up? Why did that ass. Albert Casimir, wake me up this morning by scowling at me. Why did he shove the great dictionary with the word "Impostor” In It —an enormous dictionary in two volumes? Why did be threaten to hang me or shoot me or guillotine me? I don't know which he meant; hut he certainly intends to execute me tn some way. And what’s the Lystrian <for marmalade? I’d like some Just to finish off a really good breakfast" ? "Who are you?" said Janet “I’m the 0 Reverend Thomas A. Norreys. M. A., said Tommy. “You saw my passport in Berlin, so you ought to know." “Not Lord Norheys?" "Fve told you. I’ve told the other Casimir. I’ve told the king. I would have told the princes# if she’d have listened to me— rve told every one I’ve met that I am not Lord Norbeys. It would be Just as sensible. In fact more sensible, to Insist that Tm Colonel Heard. But no matter what I said, nobody ever believed me, except that pompous as®. Von Steinveldt. I think he did. If necessary I’ll swear I’m not Lord Norheys. I’ll swear It on Casimir’s dictionary If you like, and that's ft»e most impressive lookink book I ever saw." “What convinced them? Fd like to know; for I fiever could manage to* do It myself.” “Two telegrams arrived this morning early." said Janet, “one from Count Istvan Casimir, sent from Ber- * lln, and one from Lord Edmund TroyI te, from London. A motorcycle brought j them. / They said that you’re an im- * postor, and that the real Lord Norheys Is in London. Lord Edmund Troyte Is Lord Norheys’ uncle, so he’s certain to know." "I expect he’ll be Miss Temple’s aunt soon. I mean to say, she’ll be his niece. If half Fee heard about her is true. I never was so plagued about anything In my life as I have been about that woman. How did the princess take the news?” “The patriarch wakened her about seven o’clock to tell her. She came Into my room about two minutes later and I never saw a girl so pleased." "I call tha,t heartless of her." said Tommy. “Worse than heartless, malicious. I never did her any harm. Why on earth should she be pleased at my being hanged?” “She’s not pleased at that She doesn’t thfnk you will be hanged. Nor do I. What delighted her was the thought that you really had nothing to do with Miss Temple." “If she would have listened to me," said Tommy, “she’d havt) known that long ago. However, I’m glad she doesn’t want to hang me. Perhaps she’ll let me out of prison. Why have •they shut me up?" “I’ve Just told you that." said Janet ’They believed you were Lord Norhey’s and when It turned out you weren't, they Imprisoned you, of course." *‘l don’t see any ’of course’ about if. They can’t mean to imprison everyone who turned out not to be Lord Norheys. If they <lld that »he prisons would be horribly overcrow Jed. Don’t you think that you could explain that to the patriarch?” Janet looked doubtful. “It’s a complex idea.” aald Tommy, “and probably quite new to him. Still, » with your knowledge of German—" Janet had no doubt at all about her ability to explain anything In German. •Tm aTrald,” she sa.J “that the patriarch isn’t as good at Germah as he thinks he is.
