This happened when his serene 1
highness, Prince Carl of Barataria,
was visiting his Britannic majesty's
possessions in New Guinea.
He came Prince Carl in the Bara-
tarian cruiser Konigin Hildebrande,
and with him was a gorgeous staff
plump and beautifully gilded over its
plumposity. The Konigin Hildebrande
anchored off Port Moresby and waited
or the British governor to arrive.
Meanwhile the prince and his staff
went ashore to have some shooting.
They got it after the continental
fashion, which , consists of blazing
away at everything, sitting shots pre
ferred. Not a bird could be seen
around Port Moresby for some time
afterward, but they brought many
back with them, big and little. And
they called It sport.
When the governor came in a little
excursion was planned to show tne
prince something of the interior. So
the horses were saddled and early one
morning they started.
The white servants of the prince
were sent on ahead with natives car
rying delicate viands and the camp
ing gear, with instructions to await
jthe main party at a certain place at
midday.
! For a short way the others could
ride two abreast and after he had
(somewhat thawed Count Bierundon
ner found in Mr. O'Brien a fairly con
genial companion. O'Brien was the
secretary for lands In British New
Guinea, and, when a young man, had
been to Barataria; so he and the count
found a common subject of interest.
Moreover, in the matter of women
and wine their tastes were similar.
At noon, tired and thirsty after his
exertions, the prince heard with lan
guid joy that they were near lunch.
They soon struck the rendezvous and
the Englishmen perspired freely when
they beheld only one native sitting
there, his swag beside him. Him they
rapidly questioned.
As Mr. O'Brien afterward told his
chum, "Those damned Dutchmen had
got lost, and after waiting some time
the 'boys' concluded that they must
be In the wrong place, so cleared off
ahead."
The Englishmen raved and the gild
ed staff used Baratarian oaths that
were 18 inches long and would sink
in mercury. His serene highness
sulked and looked anything but his
title. x
"Open his swag and see what he
has got," said his excellency the Brit
ish governor. "It is no good," and he
gave vent to a lurid burst of blas
phemy "it is no good using bad lan
guage." The swag contained but a few tins
of meat and biscuits intended for the
baser sort. The fowls and leg of goat
and other delicacies, alas! were miles
ahead. Months afterward in the whirl
of a Baratarian ballroom the Count
von Blerundonner confided to the
beautiful Baroness von Homburg that
he would never forget the sight of his
royal master sitting in his shirt sleeves
on a log, with a sheep's trotter In one
hand and a ship's biscuit in the other,
while he occasionally sipped muddy
water out of a jam tin.
VI hope," said his excellency polite
ly, "that your serene highness' ser
vants have come to no harm."
"Pray God they have broken their
necks," said his serene highness with
much earnestness, and pulled vicious
ly at a small, red mustache. Mr.
O'Brien and the native were sent rap
idly forward to collect the carriers and
see that they camped at the right
place for the evening; also, inciden
tally, to find the "Dutchmen."
Chastened and resigned, the prince
and his attendants rode slowly on.
They crossed a stream and ascended
a hill, but refrained from expressing
any delight at the view, as was mani
festly their duty. Capt. Freiherr von
Kladerdatch rode under a lawyer vine.
and was unable to keep his horse
quiet. His remarks, which embraced
the animal and vegetable kingdom
were comprehensive, and . brought
tired smile to the careworn face of the
prince. They passed the nlpa palm
hut of a south sea islander, and here,
by common consent, they left their
Christmas tree decorations.
The scrub was more open now, and
riding over a plain, the party scattered
somewhat. His serene highness evinced
no desire to be spoken to and rode
alone, while his excellency discussed
the anti-Semitic question with ' the
chamberlain. Shortly after five they
met Mr. O'Brien riding back. He had
found most of the carriers and the
three "Dutchmen" the latter in
speechless and semi-paralytic condi
tion. Joyfully they rode into camp
to find their flies pitched and fires
burning.
"I afti very sorry to say," said Mr,
O'Brien to Count Blerundonner, "that
the carrier with your tent and ham
mock cannot be tound, but as I am ac
customed to roughing it, 1 1 will be very
glad if you will make use of mine
have had your things put in," he added
"Impossible, my dear friend," ' said
the other, and went on to explain how,
being a soldier and the son of a sol
dier, he was inherently adapted to
sleeping under a tree with his spurs
for a pillow. But Mr. O'Brien was firm
and overruled the count's objections
They entered the small fly. ' -
"You see," said O'Brien, pointing to
the tightly stretched hammock swung

Established I got
about three feet from the ground, "I
will sleep just beneath you."
There was a sudden commotion in
the camp and the two men ran out.
The governor's valet rushed up. "The
prince!" he gasped. "Have you seen
him? He is lost the prince!" and he
vanished into the dusk like one pos
sessed. It was strange that the principal fig
ure should get lost without anyone
noticing It, but being in a bad temper
no one had felt particularly anxious
to go near him and each concluded
that he was with the other.
' His excellency hurried , along the
path. It was a trying moment for
him and his prophetic eye saw inter
nationoal trouble in the near future.
"Follow me," he said. He had al
ready sent the natives out in different
directions and the camp was resound
ing with the crack of rifle and gun to
the Unspeakable delight of small na
tive boys. They, wandered through
the bush for nearly an hour. Then
suddenly they found him.
There was a glimmer ahead from a
hut in a small clearing. "Alec's place,"
said the governor. "He might know
something."
They pushed open the door and en
tered. There was a flaring lamp in
the dirty room. In one corner, gazing
blankly at a figure at the rickety
table, stood Alec a negro from the
Muritius. Over his shoulder peered
his Papuan wife and Jimmy Japan,
while Mac, a half-caste, stood on one
bare foot and thoughtfully scratched
his woolly poll. Seated on the table,
dismally sucking two feet of sugar
cane and glaring at his hosts, was the
prince. His shirt was in rags and
his fe was scratched and dirty, while
two little pigs 1 rubbed themselves
grunting against his spurs.
We thought your serene high
ness
Would like something to eat,"
snapped the other.
Twenty minutes later a very dishev
eled and exhausted heir-apparent was
helped into camp. He had gone
through enough to tire a man not to
mention a prince.
Dinner was over and the prince
seemed recovering,- On the bank of
the river O'Brien was in earnest con
versation with the native corporal.
This place," said O'Brien to the
Count Bierundonner. who strolled up.
this place is the very devil for alli
gators."
"Du lieber Gottl" ejaculated the lat
ter piously.
Yes; but you are all right In your
hammock, you know. It's worse for
me on the ground. It's only a few
yards from the river, you see, and
they might sneak up and nip me." .
What do you propose doing?'
asked the count, much moved.
1 snail put a barricade round ray
bed; then they can only fool round,
outside and smell at me, but won't be
able to get in."
Dear God," thought the count.
'The monsters might climb this barri
ade and nip me. He seemed de
pressed, but, recollecting thai he was
soldier, comported himself bravely.
Tired out, every one turned In early,
The count watched with fascinated
interest Mr. O'Brien's preparations for
the night: This gentleman had col
lected everything he could lay his
hands on and built them like a wall
round where he lay, under the count's
hammock boxes, swags, biscuit tins
and buckets. The count examined it
critically and with a knowledge of
strategy and the art of war.
Look," he said; I will move a
little this box so."
Thanks very much, old man, re
plied Mr. O'Brien from inside. "Is it
better now?"
Yes," said the count, "yes much
better for me," he muttered, as he
crawlai into his hammock. "The
brutes might have come upstairs as it
was," and he sank into a sweet sleep.
"Downstairs, O Brien moved rest
lessly on his rugs. He was stiff after
the unaccustomed ride, and the bed
was hard. He dreamed that the
prince was lost, and that he was be
ing led off to instant decapitation. He
dozed off again and dreamed that the
alligators were crawling up and sit
ting on his chest (tinned lobster). , He
awoke with a start and a yell. There
was a crash then something got him
firmly by the arm. With a convulsive
shriek he brought both legs together
and put all his soul into one last kick.
There was an answering shriek from
above as the Count von Bierundonner,
receiving the full force of the kick in
the small of his back, was hurled
bodily out of his hammock and landed
groaning some yards outside the tent.
The whole camp turned out in con
fusion.
"What's the matter?" queried Dal
las, the private secretary, hurrying up
with a lantern.
"An alligator," gasped O'Brien, who-
was pinned down with two boxes on
his chest. "Save me, old chap. It
has got me by the arm." a
"An alligator," said Dallas. "You
essence of an idiot! Why, you drivel
ing ass, you have knocked over a
bucket and the handle has closed over
your arm. Get up, you juggins, and I
will take your arm out."
Then an irate ana scorntul camp,
after having told Mr. O'Brien exatly
what it thought of him and .'provided
for" nis future in a few powerful and
well-chosen expressions, returned to
its interrupt! slumbers
