ally, and as they were special friends
of Edna's he heard from her second
handed. What he heard in this way
was altogether favorable, and had the
effect of keeping her continually be-
fore his mind, whether sleeping or
waking. Time passed rapidly away.
He hoped for speedy return to
Chiseldom that he might see in real
ity the vision of his dreams. But
alas! he was called away to the bed
side of a dying uncle, wholef his es,
tate to Snap, which amounted to the
snug little sum of several hundred
thousand dollars. It was nearly a
year before Snap could return to
Chiseldom and grasp in an ardent
way, the hands of his many friends.
A pleasant time was anticipated.
Snap was duly cautioned in re,
gard to Mrs. Green's wrath, and adj
vised not 20 90 to see Edna. He had
made up his mind to go and forty
old women like the one he knew he
was likely to meet could not have
prevented him. The old lady had
forbidden Edna's egress even into the
yard, much less the street for fear
she would get a glimpse Of Snap

With his usual suavity and sang

at the door or thercaboats. In the
prettiest Of polite ways he asked to
see Miss Edna at the door for but a
moment, provided, however, it was
consistent with her idea Of eiyility.
II was not consistent to her biased
mind, nor indeed is anything else,
nearing gcntil;ty, to such a mind
Edna, therefore, was not allowed to
see Snap. If the writer were to ex,
press his opinion, Notwithstanding
the apparent little unplcasantness
between Snap and Edna he would
say they were each anxious tosee the
other. Snap had never acted any
thing but the gentleman with the
family, and was always at a loss tc
know why he was SO disliked by the
old lady and Nellie, but now, since
they had clearly over-stepped the
bounds of decency, he felt that he
would lose his self-respect (Which is
