Judge Elmer dismissed the petition
of Jchn j. Skinner for divorce from

superior court yesterday morning and
filed with the decision memorandum
in which is laid down the necessary
requirements of proof in case where
desertion is alleged. The memoranda Is
as follows:
I'm this case the court is of the opin-
ion that the plaintiff has failed to show
by fair preponderance of the evidence
submitted, wilful desertion on the part
of the defendant. Marital rights and
others are imposed on both husband and
wife. The superior court determines
the test for wilful desertion as follows:
'Desertion in the marriage relation con-
sists in the breaking off of cohab1ta-
ton with a determination not to renew
it; and when the responsibility for the
rests upon the plaintiff as
we'll as upon the defendant, such sep

wilful desertion on the part of the lat

He called to mind how Sir Jasper had
sent him, the next heir. to California in
search Of the prodigal son, and how the
old baronei had paid without a murmur
the tremendous bill of costs Of his two
years Of riotous extravaganza in the
states.
He had located Harry Denzil. togeth-
er with his wife, the penniless daughter
Of the Methodist parson of Mount Royal,
and the innocent cause Of the rupture
between father and son.
Worse still, he had found that Harry
Denzil had q baby son, who, though the

DeuziIs Illness had suggested the

derpd TO temptation. He DESTROYED the
letter Of forgiveness that Sir Jasper had
iutrus;ed 20 him, and sought nc inter
view with his son, so that Harry Denzil
starved on, ignorant Of the fact that
the young Euglishman who for a night
or TWO had cut such a dash al the Piazza
hotel was his own kith and kin.
About this time one Of his boon com
pauions-a man without name or ma
tiouality-died in a small mining camp.
The dead man was unknown in the
place, and Rufus, with an eye to the fu-
ture, had registered his death under the
name Of Harry De~zil

copy Of Sacramento journal. in which
he had Inserts notice Of the death,

He gulped down a glass of raw spir-

Sir Jasper was working his way into
his overcoat, Notwithstanding the en-
treaties of John Tregony,
Let thin have bis own way ,Tregony,"
said Rufus, who had a lingering hope
that Sir Jasper might at last catch his

voice Of a woman. "Now doant thee

The lifeboat men hesitated. They

the Hanger only too well, for it had
claimed toll on the lives Of the brave
lads of Mount Royal Of every genera
tion within the memory Of man.
Besides, it was hard to contemplate
death. wet and cold, with three women
hanging around them.

Then IL fishermen whose names be- |

Presently the boy sat up.
He expressed no surprise at the old
gentleman who was crying and kissing
his hands. He said that his name was
Jasper Denzil, and that his papa and
mamma were in the lifeboat. He
guessed that they had had a mighty
near squeak. The name Of the shin
was the Empire State, and he guessed
that his bicycle was a total loss. since
the ship was piled up on the rocks.
Who is your papa?' asked Jasper, in
a shaky voice, as he fondly stroked the
boys fair curls.
