of importance would be, and she looked
forward to the hour with sweet expectation.
He was there on time, but hardly in the
condition he desired. A heavy cold had
tackled him the night before, and his eyes
were red and inaamed, and his nose was
nearly twice the natural size, and shone

~singularly enough. the young lady was
similarly conditioned. She ushered him
into the parlor, and without any prelim-
mary ceremony they were on the sofa to-
gether. He took out his handkerchief,
and, finding a dry section, wiped his nose.

handkerchief in the OF s. Then he spoke

She wiped her eyes and then he's nose. and
made an honest endeavor to look anguish

the former. and the fiery glow Of the latter,
she appeared to an unhappy advantage.
But he did not notice it,. He felt Of his

returned to her side.

was just about to speak the glad answer.

fairly endangered the safety of her fair neck.
