him and completed the conquest which Cupid

successfully carried forward. After having Sc

George continued to attend to his business
closely, but his evenings were generally hisown

Jenny was not by any means without other
admirers. Many young man in the neighbor-
hood would discommode himself much to &C.
commodate her, and considered himself well
paid if he could thus win smile or 'thank
you" from her sweet lips Ef'- Ee#rs. 1'.
But George was the favoritc lover, and he
seduousy improved his opportunities, until f.
nally it was whispesed around, and pretty freely,
that he was and Jenny were engaged. Such re-
ports always spread like wildfre, and this one
was not long in reaching the ear of MIR. Moore,
one Of ofhs'employers. ~, n
Now Mr. Moore had a daughter who took
quite fancy to our young friend, and he was
aware oft, but could not return the compl-
ment. Her father also knew it, and knew that
George was smart fellow and would as he had
often said, ''niake q star in the world" He
thought that George and his daughter would
make good match and that the former would
feel highly complimented by the proposal--
Therefore, soon after Mr. Moore first heard the
foregoing report, he called George to one side
and aopened the case" to him, concluding by
limiting at partnership in case matters turned
out favorably. .ti4 J',5 Il 9'l 70 ta'-|i- ,.5 'ni
