Hiram Mullen and Susan Place were en-

year, sni the young girls had left of set
ting their caps for Hiram, and Susan was
beyond the aspirations of the many who
had iluttcred in her train. Every one said
it would make a good match, and Hiram
and Susan fully believed that they were
right 1t was pleasant to see how prcttily
they got along together. The wheels of
their love novel on smoothly. In speak
ing OF her, before her face, he callei her
the most pleasant Place that ever was
known, and she, in turn, said that of all the
plants that grew there was none in her ewes
so fair as the Mullen. These were playful
things that the intensity of their affection

Hiram stood on the doorstep unaccom-

into tears. and she saw that the face Of Hi
ram likewise had a water line on each side
