JOHN CRAMNER asked Amelia Washburn to be his wife and she said t6 him nay. "Oh, what do I care?" thought Johnny to himself as he left the house of the rejectful young lady, "there are just as good fish In the sea as ever were caught. I'll look around--go for a trip abroad, maybe. 1*11 find some girl who can appreciate a first-class offer of marriage when she gets one." And Amelia thought: "Johnny Cramner always was a conceited creature. Why, he acted as if he thought I would drop Into his mouth like a ripe plum. This will teach him a lesson. There are plenty of young men fuHy as desirable as Johnny and not half so self-sufficient who will be willing to see that I am not left to braid St. Catherine's tresses." The fact was that, in addition to being naturally endowed with the gift of self-appreciation, Amelia and Johnny had been brought up to think extremely well of themselves. On the night of his rejection by Amelia, John sought out a disreputable friend of his with whom he played cards and caroused-- until all hours in the morning. To this friend he confided the fact that Amelia Washburn had rejected him. "Heart broken?" inquired the friend. "Not a crack," replied Johnny. *Then It's your vanity that has been wounded." ^ "Nonsense," cried Johnny, "I haven't any vanity and nothing is worrying me. Deal the cards." " Amelia's sleep was broken that night She was afraid she had not been gentle enough In her dismissal of Johnny, but then he only got what he deserved. No, she did not regret her action In the least She would not marry John Cramner If he asked her fifty times. She could look higher, she hoped. At breakfast the next morning she reminded her father of that trip to California upon .which he had been promising to take her. And, the Idea falling in with the father's inclinations, it was agreed that they should start for the climate state at once. "It Is high time I was considering the subject of matrimony," she told her father. "The first thing you know you will have an old maid on yOhr hands. I want to look around the world and see people, and pick out a suitable person for a husband.' "Well, look around then," replied Washburn. "See the many men of many climes; but I bet you"a new car you marry a New York man after all" "Against that car I'll bet you a new hat that I pick up a hhsband in my travels," retorted Fanny. *1 am going to sail on the Platonic, next Wednesday," Johnny told his friend. "I shall take a good look about the world and probably bring back a wife with me when I return. I am tired of a single life." "Bet you a hundred you come back single as you depart," said the friend. "Bet you the same I find a wife abroad," said Johnny. And so It happened that while Amelia was speeding West by train, Johnny was speeding East by steamer, both on a similar mission. When Johnny had tired of Europe he went on to India and beyond. And when Amelia had tired of the Pacific slope she pushed on to the Hawaiian islands and beyond. Kipling has said that "East is East and West Is West, and never the twain shall meet." But he was wrong about that--geographically, at any rate. They at the one" hundred and gree of longitude, about across the Pacific, where you or lose a day, depending upon which direction you are traveling. Also if one person starts West and keeps going, and another starts East and keeps going, there is every chance that they will meet somewhere on the trip. And thus it happent J that Johnny and Amelia met in Tokyo, at an exceedingly expensive hotel--as most Japanese hotels are these days--and were actually glad to see each other. A whole year had passed since that little proposal and rejection affair of theirs, and if you had witnessed their meeting you would have supposed that they had forgotten all about the trifling incident. But they hadn't--and each was exceedingly curious to know If the other had been married, become engaged, or fallen in love in the meantime. Amelia was the first to exhibit her lauduble curiosity. "Are you still unmarried?" she asked lightly. "Yes," replied Johnny, "and yoi»-- are yqu Miss Washburn still?" "I am," she replied calmly. "Amelia," began Johnny earnestly, "Just one year ago--" She looked at him klenly. There could be no doubt what he was going to say--he was going to renew that year-old proposal of his. Amelia grasped the situation In an Instant and broke In hastily. "You asked me If I was still Miss Washburn. I am--but I shall not be so very long, I think. 1 expect to be married as soon as I return to New York. Johnny sat sijent for a long time and then asked dolefully: "May I ask who is the fortunate man?" "Why," laughed Amelia, "It's youryou goose. I have reconsidered my refusal of last year." Now that is all right, and as II should be--but who won those bets? xney met a> eightieth do; halfway acrc gain at day f Wife Outlived Di*r*«R' At the time of their marriage Disraeli (Lord Beaconsfleld) was thirtyfive and his wife was fifty, She live^d to )>e eighty-three. lueatimable Modesty If a young father doe&n't think h^s kid the smartest ever, he may be uncommonly modes* but more probably he Is a liar.

Japan'* Climate ^ ' Since Japan extends through 30 degrees of latitude, it necessarily has a great range of climate. In the south the climate is extremely cold.
