After a weeks consideration as to
the practicability Of undoing what he
had done he remembered that he had
been told that the princess hand was
at the disposal Of her father and her
father was in the market financially
for husband for her. Jim concluded
to submit the matter to him, feeling
assured that If he could Control his
daughter the door would still be open
to him.
So he called on the prince and told
him that he had determined to make
lis home in Italy and the reasons
why he had. considered a-marriage with
the princess :inadvisable did not per-
tain to any country save America He
therefore begged leave to renew his
proposition.
The prince, who seemed disposed to
keep on good terms with him, said that
be was greatly disappointed at~being
obliged to refuse him, but an Austrian
nobleman who had met his daughter at
the Quirinal ball had proposed for her
hand and had been accepted.
Jim was thrown almost into a feve,
by this refusal and believed that he
had ruined his peace of mind forever.

much thought and discarding many
plans Jim settled on the following:
He would say that so beautiful, $50
high born a lady, would be considered
in America to have demeaned herself
by marrying miners grandson and
her place In American society Would
be eqhivocal. For that reason a mar
rage between them would be inadvis-
able.
Jim turned this over in his mind.
looking at it from every point Of view.
and considered 1t stroke OF genius
He communicated It to the prince, who
said nothing. but was much disap-
pointed at the failure to provide for
one Of his daughters, especially since
his finances were In an extremely low
state. Jim asked permission to send
token of his own disappointment to
the young lady. 1t was granted. pro-

A Question of
Money
BY WARREN MILLER

Jim Spangler, the grandson Of a Cali
fornia "forty-niner," inherited from
his progenitor not only wealth, but
something Of his brusqueness. Jim
went to Italy soon after completing his
education, where he fell in with one
of the many princes Of that country, a
man Of fifty, with a family Of mar,
riageable daughters. 1t occurred to
Jim that, since he was known to be
very rich, he might aspire to the hand
OF one Of these princesses .notwith-
standing that he was commoner.
Jim asked an Italian friend what he
thought about it, and the friend said
that match might be brought about,
but it must be done in the European
and not the American way.
Jim, after long deliberation,, conclud-
ed to enter the matrimonial machine
and get himself ground out Il Husband.
In way he would he free to. back out
provided he was willing to appear to
turn down girl who would not he per-
mitted to turn him down, whether she
liked him or not, for her father had the
disposition Of her hand and If he gave
his consent to the match that settled
the matter for his daughter.
The Princess Lita was twenty years
old and q beautiful girl, but any girl
brought out for inspection by the man
who has been provided to be her hus-
band is naturally at a disadvantage.
The princess was tongue tied during
the whole visit, and when Jim left the
palazz0 he drew a sigh of relief
"Great heavens!" he said to him
self. :"Just think of having to spend
a lifetime with woman as hard to
talk to as that"
Jim was now as anxious to with
draw from the affair as he had been
to get into It, He had thought much
and with pride upon taking a princess
back home with him as his wife, but
even this honor was not enough to
make up for living with woman who
had not spoken a word to him during
his visit.
The next question was how to With:

Domestic
Mr.. Bounce
By HNOR MARSH

John Bounce, commercial traveller,
was driven up to his home after a
long trip at O'Clock in the afternoon,
kissed his wife and found her waiting
to talk over what happened during his
absence. :

don't doubt that you are getting to love

leg was going to sleep, and Mrs. Bounce
transferred her 100 pounds to another
seat.

ingly, "how much did you weigh when
We were engaged?"
'eNinety pounds"
"Humph! You've nearly doubled"
MI. Bounce drew a long breath of
comfort and went on expatiating on
his delight at getting home. He had
q mind to take position as bookkeep-
err anything that would enable him to
remain at home always with his dear
wife.
BY shalf past Z he had finished his
cigar. and by 8 he was walking the
floor again. Then there was a ring at

Night Iiqht In the Skv.

In studying the amount of light in
the sky on a starlit night Lambertus
Yutema, in Germany, reached the in
teresting conclusion that the luminosi-
ty of the sky is caused partly by d.
rect starlight and partly by some other
source Of light. This latter he calls
earth light and suggests that it may
be due to a permanent aurora attend
ing the earth. The light is variable
not only on different nights, but at
different hours Of the same night. He
found it to be from seven to fifteen
times the amount Of mean starlight,
but it is believed that this ratio is ex-
ceptional and does not prevail every
where. Some observations indicate
that the light has its origin close to
the surface of the earth. 1t has been
suggested that it may have a similar
origin to that of the light emitted by
the coma Of a comet.
