Blocks distant. In magnificent apartments, where the waves lull out a tingling love chord against the stretch of Hand and beach. Prince August Stanislaus Sulkowskl. lieutenant of the Second Austrian dragoons, frets his hours away and asks the same question. I Betrothed are the dashing Prince August and the olive-tinted, petite (Marie. Ho it is whose father battled | with tho legions of Italy and Hungary in 1819; she tho pelted and pam1 pored child of a rich Spanish household known for Its lineage from the j "Nation's Garden Spot" to the sunsinged palms of Tampico. j They wait the word of the grand old Francis Joseph that they may wed ?or an Imperious forbidding order and the all too familiar summons that I snould whisk the adoring dragoon officer off about his business to the Vienna barracks. But Will the Prince Obey? But will Prince August go, should | ais ruling lord decree? No answer | comes from ills lips; only a sharp shrug of the shoulders, a flash of the light blue eyes and a heightening of i his facial pallor. He may?and he may not. The reader may conclude a? 1 he pleases. The luster of love gleams from beneath the drooping eyelashes when you ask Miss Marie to unfold the secret of an international betrothal that may or may not culmtnato in the happiness of lifo*that Is nnture to young I hearts. They are big, wistful brown eyes she turns upon you. Reproach is half a mind to burst forth, but the languorous disposition of the warmblooded Latin creeps over her and she murmurs: "Wo can only hope. Why shouldn't he? What are title and station in life when love?the sort of af1 foction I am willing to bestow upon j my prince--is nt stuke? I "Wo hoped to bo wedded tills Juno," she continued as she settled into a cushion hanked porch seat and toyed with the brilliant Jade necklace that heightened the color of her graceful neck. Hut June cnine and went and never a word ha? August had from his pa ternal ancestor. May Defy the Emperor. It's the stoical mien of the soldier I that greets the visitor who penetrates the privacy of l*rinco August's quarj ters. His hope is none the less strong, but lighter-born that he is, a reverse j only would kindle his anger and perhaps cause him to cast off the shackles | of position and comparative wealth. J lie doesn't say so in as innny words, ! but he gives, none the less, the imI pression that a forbidding word from the emperor would signal an uprising 1 in his soul. True, ho admits his severance of i relations with the house of Francle j Joseph, because of his insistence upon t claiming this handsome girl as his bride, would leave him penniless. But there are ways to get along, he intimutes. Came Wooing Two Months Ago. Prince August came a-courting two nontha ago. Ho arrived to press his suit after obtaining a leave of absence from his regiment. It is confessed he didn't take the troublo to Inform his august relative of the object of his mission over tho Atlantic and then on across the entire American continent. One is led to surmise this handsome dragoon lieutenant deep down in his heart cherished the thought it was nobody's business, i Once he set foot on American soil, the swlfteet train was nono too fast to carry this dashing Borneo westward to tho family bower of the girl whose PRINCIPALS IN INTEF 3 PRINCE 3ULKOWSI lovelight drove Its searching rnys into I the innermost regions of hiH dragoon soul and smote the passion of love till. < volcanic like, it changed his whole 1 Idea of life and career. Thought Only of Sweetheart. Prince August tarried not for a 1 glimpse of the wonders of the great ' American mountain fastnesses. The j huge piles of architecture iu the great ' cities through which he sped held no I interest. His thoughts were in that 1 far-away L*>s Angeles and at every >. mile he pictured the brown-eyed little senorita.

' | It in intimated that Prince August ' , counted not the flight of time in hie 1 ] calculations for storming the Castle , Freeso and whisking away this fair , daughter. He hadn't foreseen, or at least given serious consideration to. a ! J possible objectional finale to his im ( , perious wooing and plans for mar- | rlage. Paid Court With Ardor. , t Ho hadn't considered that Francis j Joseph might cast the eye of disfavor j upon his ventures into the environs of ' , hymen. He doesn't know yet that the ' aged Francis Joseph does -that's ( what's troubling him. A decision ono 1 j way or the other and this firm-featured dragoon has plans of his own. He ; lmsn't disclotwd them, but he has indicated he can think for himself and lie has a way of doing things all his \ own. That Prince August paid court with ' determination and an impressiveness j ' that almost swept Miss Froese from 1 her feet, she admits. Hut she con- I ' fosses it with a smile, and her eyes ' shift slowly to a tiled mantel in her j 1 dainty boudoir. On that mantel is a picture, an oil painting, and it represents a prince in uniform. It's her prince. A prince "for a day, at least." Maybe, forever; who knows? His visits to the Freese home have been unbroken daily for those many weeks. And there have been flowers In abundance and the confectioners of Ix>8 Angeles have marveled at the sweets and the Bizo of the hills. Prince Augustus has been* a most devoted (lance all this time. If he isn't riding or driving with his intended princess. ! they are strolling about the Freese i home, or enjoying the hospitality of the first families of the southern California metropolis. The prince confesses he likes I>os Angeles, and lx)s Angeles has grown rather fond of the prince. Both Hoping for Consent. Llut there is hopo in these two young hearts that Kmperor Francis Joseph j eventually will bestow his consent and his blessing. The .honeymoon plans are made. Across the continent to New York will speed this happy pair ?if their dream comes true. Once at tho Sulkowski seat in Austria, there are social duties to perform and the management of a vast estate, into con- i trol of which Prince August will come I upon his retirement from the army. This international love match was born on Austrian soil?while Miss Freese and her parents were sojourning in Europe more than a year ago. Young ofllcer* of the prince's regiment saw much of him In the company of the dashing senorita in the few weeks she remained in the Austrian capital. Hut none there wero who I would credit their areociation to more than a passing fancy on the part of their favorite lieutenant. Hadn't he courted before?courted for the fun of it? they said.

Ing for arrest, a little relaxation, they were told. Next they learned he was an the ocean, and then the object of his mission dawned. None in Los Angeles knew the handsome, fair-haired, lithe German who made his appearance at the Frecee home. Few learned of his title for weeks, and only then when their engagement was unofllcially announced. The official notice of the betrothal and the date of the wedding are withheld Tor the obvious reason?Francis Joseph. Hut, his consent obtained, Ix>s Angeles expects to witness wedding festivities the splendor of which will rival that of a court of an Aztec king. i'or ino rreeses liave the money and the inclination to spend it. Beauty of the Spanish Type. Marie Freese in in reality a descendnit ol Spanish and German ancestors* She clings to the Spanish type o* lithesome physical beauty that bestows upon the Latin race the striking visage and well-molded form. Duly the gold-brown hair is the telllale imprint of German ancestry. It piles high on her head, and there, lield by an embroidered bandeaux, is i tilting crown to the glowing brown ?yes that shed tender sympathy and i mouth that breaks into a wonderful unile. There Is the joyousness of youth n those sparkling orbs and the droopng. slender shoulders sheltered by a Spanish shawl drawn close around her plump throat. There uikju the hand is die tell-tale pledge of "I'll cherish and ove forever"?the diamond ring.

The Freeses are socially prominent n their circle of Los Angeles society Mr. and Mrs. August Freese are the parents of this international bride-tope?if Lmperor Francis only hurries ilong with his long-looked-for "God pless you." _ ^ Looks Were Deceiving.

A suggestion as to the historicity of the Exodus story la indicated in verse 1 1 of tho lesson. "In the third month," these are not the words of an impostor but of the careful historian. Tho place. Mount Sinai, was a familiar one to Moses. It was at tho base of this ! range of mountains, "at the back of tho desert." that ho had met nnd | 1 received his commission from God. i (Ex. 3:1-12; Acta 7:30, 38.) Let us consider the entire chapter. Tho Highest Source. I. "A peculiar treasure," w. 1-C. Thus far there has boen no law to guide the Israelites except the word of God by the mouth of the prophet. Aa a nation thoy must have laws and i the proper time has now arrived to promulgate those laws. But it is neoessary to impress the nation with the source, the sacreduees and the strength of law. Its source is the j highest?God; its sacrcdness is in the nature of its source?God; its strength is in the matter of their obedience. t i . "Moses went up" and "the Lord called." When we seek the place of separation from man and tho place of seclusion with God we may expect to hear him calling us. (Jns. 4:8.) Once before God had called to Moses | in this place (3:4) and Moses was taken by surprise. Now it is the man of experience who joyfully seeks the Lord that he may receive a message for his waiting people. God begins by reminding him of his acts in Egypt ; and at the Hed Sea (v. 4) and by his ? (Til ?*n '*. !_ _ ? ?

They are to be a kingdom of priests, persons with a right access to God, spiritual sovereigns ' and a holy nation set apart to pre1 serve the knowledge and worship of God if they obey his voice. "A peculiar treasure," on the condition of obedience Israel was his peculiar people, how sad thai they ever departed from that lofty privlI lego. In this present age it is the . ( church which is called out to be a ' j chosen generation, a royal priesthood, i an holy nation and the people for 1 God's own possession. (I Peter 2:9, ' 10 R. V.; Tit. 2:14; Kph. 1:11 It.

The ' burning mountain suggests the consuming fire to the transgressors of the law about to bo revealed. Tho I booming thunder and flashing lightning amid the stillness of tho wllderi ness would arouse universal attention, and has not the law thus attracted the I attention of ages? The enveloping ? ; cloud reminds us of another niounI tain experience, see Matt. 17:5. The ' trumpet emphasizes the supernatural, i i that It was other than a material > trumpet blown by human breath. Read ' in connection with this lesson Isa. 6. I i Our God Is not alone a God of love I but he Is a being of infinite majesty ' i and holiness, "a consuming tire," Heb. | 12:29. Too often we havo presented f ! an emasculated God; we need to em phastze, in this day, both sides of his ) character. At least two locations nre f pointed out, each of sufficient area 1 to accommodate those gathered un I der Moses' le.adernhip (v. 17).
