town. and going behind the scenes intro
duces himself and she remembers him.
He learns that Prince Ponotowsky Is

Dan was rather shocked. Anything

And her bad humor faded at his
tone, and she smiled at him. well.

She changed her position and drew
long sigh as though she we're very
tired, leaned her blond head with It's
soft disorder back on the pillow. put
both her folded hands under her cheek
and turned her face toward Dan. The
most delicate coral-like color began to
mount her cheeks, and her gray eyes
regained their light. 4
"Will two thousand dollars be too
much to ask?" she said gently.
II she had said two million to the
young fellow who had not yet begun
to spend his fortune. which as far as
he was concerned was nothing but a

much to him; not too much to have
given to this small white creature

She was seized upon by violent 1T
OF coughing. and Dan leaned toward
her and put his arm around her as a
brother might have done. holding her
tenderly until the paroxysm was past.
GOSH" he exclaimed fervently, "it's

that and to think Of your working as
you do. Can't you stop and take a

Puzzle Of LIvlno.

Religionists chided about their ina.
bility to agree on points Of faith might
point out that they differ only in Incl.
dentals and not essentials, whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science Of living. A week
ago you would have "died II you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say 1t doesn't do any harm at all. Ono
variety says: Eat meat, lots Of 1t, to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison: that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals, laugh; II

silence is never so golden as at the
