Bill Jinkins was very modest man;

where men may occasionally be found
yet he was modest, very whenever plac-

when he was called upon 10 see Miss So

or account for this singular timidity. He
would sing, lrolic and be as wild as a Ro.
YER among men, but a petticoat would
unnerve him instantly,

set her cap for Bill, and was determiD-
ed to head him or die. Bill, to tell The
truth, loved Lucy, and was as miserable

part, she very afeclionalely said
