In this case it was the young Ia

NEST; unromantic. German whom
many of our readers who travel il.

heart. Not only did he not. ad-
mire the young banker, but he.
had formed other projects for his
daughter; he had promised her to
another, older in years, and whose

That night, last Saturday night,

the back door was opened, and
She stepped forth into the open
air. There was IAN attendant
whose heart had been. sofsened,
and who would aid the young la

her little goods in a'trank and the
inevitable band box in bis hand
And there. was another ssyeung
man outside, and he had been
there an hour, perhaps two of

The new bride asked if the knot
was tied so hard that her father
could not unite it, and, when told
