mmmmt m concrete worn sidewalks foundation arstelasb workmanship sam walker aoboktowir canny regal had always lived 1 with her aunt and uncle in a me dium priced apartment she had studied music and art and elocution called expression which was too strong a word entirely for the in struction she had and had been prepared hopefully by her aunt for a legacy that had been long looked for and now the legacy had cornel uncle regal quickly bought in fan ny s name a beautiful country es tate some thirty miles out of the city according to the genial realtor who closed the deal and now fanny said aunt renal your estate is much much larger than we hoped nt might bef ind there is no use m letting your self 6e married off to some com moner vou will marry a title you can well afford it dear and ill ret you the title see and sure enough they hadn t been in the new house two weeks before a prince was invited to visit them for the week end so lucky you ve been trained to sins a little and play a little and peik nice pieces said her aunt to funny it will stand you m nnd stead now that you are to marr into roalty my dear oh but aunty expostulated r anny with pretty blush noth ing is bet tied yet ou know why f h iven t even seen this prince of yours and he hisn t seen me well i must say admitted her aunt he certainly isn t much for looks skinny old thing to tell the truth but when he sees jou my dear you re remarkably pretty you know and then with the pen nies you have it a a pity that the head garden er isn t a prince mused fanny she looked at the gardener wist ully she found occasion to ask him how hollyhocks were planted and taken care of you like hollyhocks asked hie gardener gravely oh yes said fanny when i was a little girl sims we had a book at home showing english gar dens and they always seemed jo have tall hollyhocks nodding m such a gracious manner of course that sounds silly but they did look like that reallyl it doesnt seem a bit silly to me he replied as he bent over some very fine bulbs he was plant ing himself weston wheel the borrow over fifty yards west there to that bed ive been having smoothed dont talk to these gardeners child scolded her aunt they charge us an incredible sum for the work anyhow why that head gardener has a college degree if youll believe it and so fanny found that sims would talk a bttle about college and hollyhocks and the bugs that bother rose bushes the night that the prince arrived found fanny weeping stormily in the garden pergola skinny old thing she wailed between sobs who demanded a voice at her elbow and then she was telling sims all about it and some way or other his arms went around her to comfort her and pretty soon well well these things will happen he kissed her i and fanny having been brought up very strictly by her watchful aunt considered them selves engaged immediately and sims willingly agreed to hustjenght off after a wedding license in fact he was more than willing and when they came back next morning to the estate fanny expect ed her aunt to marvel at the ro mance of it all instead her uncle told winneld sims that he was a rascally fortune jiunter as far as that doggoned prince was concerned said uncle regal to fanny quite as if her hus band were not there at all you didn t miss a thing it seems he gave his real name all right but i had some detectives look him up and say he didn t have a title any more n i have the faker why hed served time in a peniten tiary and he oh oh oh laughed fanny i believe i m going to be a character reader or whatever they re called i didn t like his looks at all and win didn t like him either did you win winneld sims did not hear his new wife he was staring with hor ror stricken eyes at a telegram that a servant had just put into his hands my my brother has been killed hunting they cabled the new york lawyer and he telegraphed that i i must go home at once did you think so much of this brother asked aunt regal uneas uy as she looked at his suddenly deeptined face i haven t seen him for eight years confessed winneld but you see it will take fanny away from you 1111 inherit the title now and ill just about have to live at home to take charge of things you see i wanted to make my own way and i decided on expert gar dening i never thbught of inherit ing the title because there la only eighteen months difference in age- between steven
