ENGAGED ON CHRISTMAS SHIP,
Customs Men Waste Nn Sentiment

To the delight of Ihu paKsengeis but
to the vexation of the customs officials
a ptettr romance developed on boa id the

Borne one asked If he and Miss Hoi

"Perhaps," he faltered.
Miss Horrern was more positive, al
though she hinted that she was having
too good a time tu listen to any wedding
bells yet a while.
The customs men valued the ring at
(.100 and the appearance of two big tears
did not deter them taking It right off her
finger. Miss Borrero demurred, argued,
Jollied, smiled and even cried a little, but
the Inspee tora were not to he won ovei.
Finally she paid the duty, waved a
good-by to Pampy, as sho called Pam
