WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE Ia, 1882.
THE BROKEN TIE-'Do you love me, Ru
pcrt?"
The soft rays of the evening sun were linn
ing the rocking trcetops with 4 halo of gol-
den splcndor: the zcphyrs ofthe night were
kissing into somnolence the flowers that by
dav had smiled in the meadows: the doves
nestled thcirdowny heads under their wings,
little voting that the halcyon days of pot
pics would soon be present: while the old
man had the bulldog ont in the barn putting
a wire edge on his teeth. Such is the chro-
mo that presents itself to the rapidly dying

DO YOU love me-" the girl asked again,
checking back Il sob that WAS yelling up
from the last glass of Soda water she had ia

Rupert did not speak for some time lie
was trying To frame Il reply, but could not
find Il frame to suit him. After IL moment
his answer came in slow, lactyllic cadence
with accent ON the antc-pcnull.
''How can you ask me this question. Is
mclnIda? My whole life, as you must know,
is il bright timpan which reflects your every
humor. My very existence depends on eat
ing literally, sleeping prodiSally and seeing
YOU between meals. Without you what am
T." The girl gave it up.
Eyes, darling. continued Rupert, IF We
can only put up job on the old man wewill
speed away to parts unknown Once in the
open country
