"But, most high, there are no

“1 would not care to be a princess,
perhaps.”
"You love my Sahib Chase?" de-
manded Neenah abruptly, eagerly.
“Neenah!" gasped Genevra, with a
startled look. Neenah looked intently
into the unsteady, blue gray eyes and
then bent over to kiss the hand of the
princess. Tbe latter laughed almost
aloud In her confusion. She caught
herself up quickly ^nd said with some
asperity: "You foolish child, I am to
become a prince’s wife. H»w can I
love your sahib? What nonsensei I
am to marry a prince, and he is not
to pay for me in rubies.”
“Ah. how wonderful!” cried Neenah,
with ravishing cqndor. “A prince for
a husband and the glorious Sahib
Chase for a lover all your life! Ahl”
The exclamation was no less than a
■igh of rapturous indorsement.
The princess stared at her first in
consternation, then in dismay. Before
