Clerk Neds Prince in Travel Romance

Denver to visit friends before leaving
the country. While visiting in Denver
she became acquainted with friends Of
her hostess who were also bound fol
the east and who had taken passage on
the steamer which was to carry her to
Manila. Miss jeffrey learned that they
were to make several side trips and so
she obtained an extension Of leave
from the Philippines and decided to
join the party of tourists.
Whether the prince was a member
OF this party or whether Miss Jeffrey
met him after the ship passed through
the Golden Gate has not been made
known. At any rate, he was a passen
ger on the steamer, and the acquaipt'
ance which formed then resulted In a
pretty little love affair. The prince con-
tinued with the party through their
travels in China and japan and the
love story progressed in the most sat
isfactory way.
While in Hong Chow the party went
for an outing. The funny little native
rig in which Miss Jeffrey was riding
collided with a carriage. Miss jeffrey
was thrown to the ground and injured
painfully, but not seriously. 1t was
not long after this that the marriage
took place.
