she had destroyed something she never
could get back again. And this some
thing, now it was lost, seemed dearer
to her than all else in the world She
did not know him WELL she had not
succeeded in getting an answer to the
question, what it was she liked in him,
but the power that first drew her to him
rose now in redoubled might The di-
vine, incomprehensible mystery she
had tried to explain, but only succeeded
in silencing, awoke to life within her
again. And now it was too late.
What could have the power to efface
her words?
"Ah! you are afraid of hardships!'
His voice sounded heavy and his
eyes looked far away over the broad
meadows visible through the opening
in the trees. Then it would be best
for you to reconsider" he continued.

is not firmly secured; one day there
may be money another debts. And

The messy stone stood empty. She
had slipped down on the heather beside
him. And she took his hand and hid
her eyes in it.
''It makes no difference to me, no
difference at all, il 1 have to bear
hardships with you," she said. softly.
His eyes came back from the far
fields; it was only a cloud that had
passed over the sun.
He understood now that the little
bird he had wished to charm for him
self had been frightened only by too
sudden approach but that it now came
of its own accord, and that all he had
to do was to open his arms.
And she she knew she
must love him whether she could tell
why or not, whether it led to JOY OF
sorrow.
In little while they went back the
way they came, but this time they did
not pass the garden gate: they opened
it, and went into the house, to her
parents.

Not EngIi, n Princes.

1t will doubtless be news to most
people that the infant sons of the Duke
and Duchess of York are not. strictly
speaking, princes of the blood, and ac-
cording to English statutes, etiquette
and precedence the sons of the Duke of
York canno. be considered as royal
children at all. Unless their great
grandmother, the queen, should choose
to confer upon them some peerage in
their own right they will remain, legal
ly speaking, commoners, and as such
within the jurisdiction Of the ordinary
tribunals-that is to say, not even en-
titled to the ordinary immunities and
legal prerogatives of British peer
until her majesty's death places them
one step nearer in the line of success
sion to the throne. For the present
the little Yorks rank officially merely
as the sons of an ordinary English
duke, and If they are accorded the title
of prince" it is merely by courtesy
The reason for this is wise provision,
which is to be found in no other Euro
pean country save Russia, for the pur-
pose of preventing the growth of pau
per royalty. In Austria, for instance,
the son of every archduke, no matter
how remote the descent from the
throne, is entitled to consider himself
a member of the imperial family, to
adopt the prefix of imperial highness,"
and to style himself "archduke," the
result being that there are at the pres
ent time over a hundred archdukes,
several of whom are froced to vegetate
upon an income not exceeding $1,000
or $4,000 a year. There is no danger
of this kind either in Russia or Eng
land, where the male descendants Of
the sovereign lose their royal attributes
in the fourth generation, becoming in
Russia ordinary everyday princes, and
in Great Britain mobiles or mere COM
moners.

when rheumatic patients hasten to lie
in them during the progress of their
eviscerat.on for purposes of commerce.
The extreme rarity Of whales upon the
Thames embankment seems to have
been unknown to the writer. Some
correspondents give most excellent
sanitary adv.ce, but too late for its
practical application. An aged poet,
who had lost the use of his limbs. was

veranda she crept through the shrub
der the maple tree, and hid her face
in her hands.
ELISE, Elise" she whispered to her
self, what have you done?"
She had promised herself for life to
a man whom she had met only few
days before. These days had passed
like a dream, in jest and laughter,
without another thought than the
pleasure of the moment To be sure
she had suspected how it might end,
but not that it should happen so soon.
And not till the promised word was
spoken did she awaken out of her
dream.
Just now, when he drew her arm
more closely to him, and whispered in
her ear that they would be married be-
fore the year was out, she felt the
blood grow cold in her veins, and the
man who walked beside her seemed all
at once like any stranger she might
pass on the street.
And as she sat there asking herself

And when she examined her heart she
found ii as empty and cold as if no

would soon strike 6. But just before
the stroke she cast her embroidery
away from her, sprang up and rushed
out without answering her mothers
astonished questions.
Only few steps beyond the garden
she met him. He was punctual to the
minute, and beamed with joy because
she came out to meet him. But when
she passed the gate and proposed to
him to walk a little further he looked
at her in surprise. She did not appear
very anxious to introduce her lover to
her family
Elise hastily led the way across the
field and up the hill. She threw herself
down on a messy stone under the
Spruces, and he stretched himself on
the heather beside her. The stone was
large enough to hold two, but she did
not make room for him.
Are you very sure" she began,
breaking dry twig into tiny bits, "are
you really, really, sure that you love
me?"
At first he looked serious, but then
burst out laughing in his bright, jolly
way.
Sure of 1t? But there is surely no
one who has forced me to say it,"

Cost of SoIomon's Temple.

Few people, even in these days or
palmy extravaganza and millionaire
display, have any adequate impression
of the gigantic cost of the great temple
of Solomon. According to Villapandus
the talents" of gold, silver and brass
were equal to the enormous sum or
f6,S79, 1922 coo. The worth of the jew
els is generally placed at a figure equal
ly as high. The vessels of gold, accord
ing to Josephus, were valued at 140,0 goo
talents, which reduced to English
money (as has been shown by Chapers
reduction tables) was equal to $685.
296,20 The vessels of silver, accord
ing to the same authorities. were still
more valuable, being set down as worth
f646, 900. Priests vestments and
robes of singers, f2.010,000; trumpets,
100000. To this add the expense OF
building materials, labor, ETC., and we
get some wonderful figures. Ten thou
sand men hewing cedars, 10000 bearers
OF burdens, $4,000 hewers of stone, $500
overseers, all of which were employed
for seven years, and upon whom, be-
sides their wages, Solomon bestowed

worth so cents each, the sum total for
all was f63, ST. ,0SS during the time Of
building. The materials in the rough

derstand that under each question to
him lay question to herself: What
is it l love in him."
But why should she be the only one
to doubt and worry? And so to dis
turb his composure she began to set
forth her faults. She unveiled every
bad trait she had She was quick tenn
pered and scold; she was envious and
coquettish; she was stupid and
ignorant. She sat and reckoned her
self up in a serious voice; she spoke
frankly and she honestly wished to be
believed But the smile did not leave
his lips, nor did he take his eyes from
her face. At each new confession he
simply repeated:
"Yes, knew that before"
Finally the blood rushed to her
head. It annoyed her to find she could
not convince him. He sat there in the
secure belief that she wished only to
humble herself because of her great
happiness. Could he not comprehend
at all that he had done wrong in sur
pTlSlI6 utE do llc ndu, anu luelL n per-
son cannot be sure of love so loosely
rooted?
She knew of way to make him I'M

when she tried to speak. She sat
silent for few minutes, struggling
between fright and the desire to have
it out. Finally the desire triumphed.

"when / answered you as l did this
morning 1t was because well,
not wholly because . but per-
haps partly because because
OF hardships at home"
There was a cracking of twigs. He
had turned on his arm and was gazing
at her without word, but the color
was gone from his face. She need
worry no longer about him not under
standing.
There came over her a feeling Of
unspeakable regret With few words
