A young woman now in Montana was

disliked by her parents. She reciprocal
ted the tender feeling, but was an af-
fectionate daughter, and would not mar
ry him. But she sternly resolved to let
them know that she was blighted be-
lug, She continued to live with hel
father and mother, but never spoke
again. She is 81 now, but is still as
dumb as an oyster. Through the par

adjoining apartments, and occasionally
several days after it has taken place, il
