Mr.. Albert Throcknorton 10 . young,
and, We arc sorry 10 say, impecunious,
lawyer. He has not the practice that his
merit deserves, for . cold world has never
appreciated him. He has an office down
town, and sits there faithfully, but no
one has ever entered it. 80 far - heard

MISS Macintosh met young Mr..
Throckmor,on, and he being rs handsome
- she il ugly, and she being a. rich as
10 10 poor, she fell desperately in love
With him. He il too handsome for any
earthly purpose, and be occupied hor

his wendrously large and expansive fore
Aead, which in largeness and expansive
ness excelled that of any dry goods clerk
ever born, his tall, manly figure, his DE-
Ecious manner, all these charms went to
the susceptible heart Of Miss Asckin.
1psh, and she vowed q VOW that abe would
possess him whether or no.

never desired her. In fact, her atten-
lions to him became oppressive and Of
feusive. She managed so that whenever
they were together she monopolixed him
entirely, and she took excellent care that
- other woman came within reach of him
ct all.
"Why do you follow me sol" he asked
Il her one day in . sort OF despairing
%Albert-I say it mildly and modestly,
but 6rmly--I love you; always did love
you, and always shall. You must be
mine. There is no escape from it-ft is
decreed; l have decreed it. l am .
shrinking, giddy girl, but I have set my
heart upon you, and you l will have. To
save unnecessary trouble you may as we'll
yield to the DEGREES Of fate, and sue
sunb at once. But it doesn't matter.
In time you will be mine: I have willed
IT,"
And then the wretched young man,
who did not love her at all, and couldn't
love her, would rush from her presence
and 20 to his lonely Office, and wiring his
hands, and weep, and curse the day he
vas born.
January 10th, 1878, she put the ques-
ton squarely and frankly to him..
albert, you know the love / have for
you, and you know my circumstances.
You know can care for you as you should
b. cared for, and that have enough to
make two loving hearts happy. Albert,
will you be MINER
