Getting Out
ofjt
By EUNICE BLAKE
Davkl Edgerton, n young American. I
was spending some time in an Italian ]
city.
One day I'lVrerton was sitting on a
bench in the park sucking the ivory
head of his cane when a girl passed
him with tin- older woman. The young |
lady was a beauty. Nearly all Italian* |
are brunettes, iiut this young lady was
one of the few Monds otic sees in that
country. It seemed to Kdgertou that
she had walked out of a painting of
Titian's that he had seen at the j
Borghese palace in Kome. Her hair |
was light, tinged with gold; tier eyes
were the only feature in her face that
were of the prevailing Italian kind,
being a liquid brown
It was evident from her appearance,
from her dress and being attended by
an older woman that the girl was of I
the higher class. There would be no
surb thing as scraping an acquaint- !
mice. Edgerton followed her with his
eyes till siie passed out of sight; then
a man who had been silting on an op
posite side ef the walk arose and. ad
vancing t-.waul hiiu. raised his hat po
litely and said.
"Wou'd signor like to make the ac
quaintance of the young lady who has
just passed';"
"Most assuredly!"
"With a view to marriage?"
"Can I not make her acquaintance |
without marriageV"
"With what object? The young lady '
is of a marriageable age; her parents ]
do not desire yoiir.g men" to be atten
tive to tier except with a view to mar
riage. But we have a custom here !>y ,
which you can be introduced to a lady i
with a view to marriage. If you do
not care to complete the transaction
you simply forfeit uty fee—1 am a 1
marriage broker—and any other ex
penses that may nccrue."
Edgerton was so desirous of seeing
more of the beautiful Italiau that he
gave the broker an order to arrange a
marriage between him and her at
once. The man did not seem to hes
itate at making the proposition, espe
cially when Edgertou told bim that he
had an income of $li>.t*)0 a year The
man was somewhat disappointed that
bis client had no family crest, but
thought the income would make up for
tins deficiency.
The Introduction took place. Edger
ton spoke very little Italian, and Sl
gnorina Conti s[ioke no English. But
the.v managed to make themselves un
derstood. iind Edgerton enjoyed a very
pleasant visit. I.iiter the American was
informed that his proposition was ac
cepted.
Jl'he question arose ns to what should
he Edgerton's next step. He hud made
the proposition for the purpose of meet
ing In a friendly way one whose beau
ty he so ardently admired, relying on
the fact that he could forfeit the com
missi in and no harm he done. Butnow
that his offer had lieen accepted it oc
curred to him lhat to hack out would
lie a slight ii> the young lady. He did
uo| consider such n marriage best for
either her .»i IiImi. Signorina Conti's
(collections were all Italian, while ills
were American He would have to
take her away from her native land,
fur which she would always pine, aud,
as to making Italy his home. It was
not to be considered. But how with
draw from the arrangement without
appearing to put a slight upon the
young lady?
Edgerton was nearsighted and wore
glasses Itathcr he wore a monocle,
for lie had lived in England, aud at
that time monocles were more common
than they are now He called on his
marriage broker and said to him:
"Before completing this arrangement
I have a confession to make to Signo
rina Conli"
"The slgnorlna. signor. has nothing
to do witli the matter. It Is all In the
hands of her parents."
This made Edgerton feel easier in
his conscience. He had no especial
objection to the part lie was playing,
provided no one was concerned except
the old folks.
"Well, then." he continued, "1 desire
that you Inform Signor Conti that I
am nut a perfect man 1 wear a glass
eye."
"1 do not think." said the broker
meditatively, "that this will prevent
the marriage so far as "he parents are
concerned. Signorina Conti may ob
ject to you on that account, but. after
all. she must obey her parents."
"That will not suit me at all," re
filled Edgerton. "1 wish a written
statement from the slgnorlna that she
marries tue because she loves me and
with the knowledge that I wear a glass
eye. Unless you will bring me a state
ment tn that effect signed by ber I
will consider the matter off."
Edgerlon convinced the broker that
unless lie followed Ills direction he
would i.'ise his fee Me therefore de
livereu i::e message iu me ,\uui!s iuuj
without her pit rents' knowledge.
Tlie signorina hurt an mint who had
lost one of her eyes and wore 11 glass
eye in its place. Seeing the article
removed at times and replaced in its
socket had been so repugnant to the
girl that she could not stand the pros
pect of living with a man who was in
a similar condition. She took the re
sponsibility on herself of releasing the
applicant for her band.
Edgerton not only paid the broker
age. but sent a handsome present to
the young lady, lie didn't reveal the
fact, however, that his glass rye was
worn outside a natural one.
The Spy and the King.
The following story is told of Louis
XVIII.. king of France, and I'onche.
who had beeu at oue time Napoleon's
minister of police: After the Bourbon
restoration the king asked Fouche
whether he had set spies over him dur
ing the empire. Fouche admitted lhat
he had. "Who was the spyV" the k'uig
asked, and he was informed that it
bad been the Comte de Blacas. "How
much did lie get?" continued the king.
"Two hundred thousand francs a year,
your majesty." "Ah, well," said Lou
Is, "he was honest, then, after all. I
had naif."
The Sickroom Door.
In severe cases of illness where the
patient is disturbed by the noise made
in closing the door tie one corner of a
handkerchief around the knob on one
side of the door and the opposite cor
ner arotind the knob on the other side.
The door will now close noiselessly on
the folds of the handkerchief.
An Important Point.
A city girl was taking a course In
an agricultural college. After a lecture
on "How to Increase the Milk Flow"
she rose for a question.
"How long." she blushingly inquired,
"must one beat a cow before she will
give whipped cream?"—Judge.
Professional Habit.
"That policeman is too conscientious
to be a gardener."
"What do you mean?"
"ne arrested the growth of a vine
on the front of his house when he
found It was a porch climber "—Haiti
more American.
Reasonable Enough.
"What's your objection to the farm
mister?"
"The land appears to he sunken."
"Rut that's owing to the heavy
crops Washington Herald.
