Here Katrina sprang forward, and
putting her little hand over his mouth,
crowded back the name which was
about to be uttered. Instead of offer
ing any resistance, the poor fellow
began to cry.
I prings him town here" said
Katrina, 9 dat you may tells him how

The case was peculiar one for the
consideration of police officer, but
the Lieutenant is alwaysready to give
wholesome advice. He told Casper
that he ought to know better than to
annoy the lady, and Casper broke In
with the remark that he did rot.
This called Katrina to her feet again.
= He shust does, she said. He goes
to mine house, and he talks loves NIT
me there, and he goes to church, and
all de way to mine house he talks
love NIT me. He goes nit de dance,
and he, says l. will dance NIT you

lshust makes him come down here
NIT me TO tell MIN how if he does so
any more, he viii pees locked up in
dat dark place we're dey can't makes
nonsense, if de heart preaks all into
little bits of pieces,
Casper was the veriest- looking
criminal in existence, as Katrina
went, on, growing more and more
excited as she spoke, stamping her
foot with honest indignation, and
making her eyes drop sparks of FIRE.
He was told that while the law could
not prevent. his getting as deeply in
love as he wanted TO, it could prevent
him from wronginga any person, how
ever deeply his. affections might BE
centered.- He-was told that if he an
noyed Katrina, she might take out a
warrant against him, and the Judge
might make him pay, and make him
give bonds not to do it, and he had
better be careful. There was mali
cious. sparkle in Katrina's eye. as she
went off, while Casper 81 eyes looked
red, and his spirits very low, as he
skunk out Of the room and went an
other way. By the shake of his{head
it was evident he would not go up the
chase, however careful he might be,
and if we, had not lost al our money
on election, we would not hesitate to
wager few dimes that before Janu
airy, Katrina and Casper viii be mar
ried, however far apart they may be
