A ROMANCE OF A SUIT OF CLOTHES,

that he had undertaken the. task of finding the
writer of the note. Hour after hour, however,
he found his mind picturing the mysterious Dolly
wentworth, and the next day l,e was once more
in the well filed clothing store where he had
purchased his suit of clothes.
The quaint idea that the firm had devised a
plan to provide a wife to every customer made

concerning the especial coat he wore, relating

Mr., Arnold found an excuse to leave town

his footsteps to the clothing mandatory he had
been directed to.
With no little hesitency he addressed one of
the foremen.

"Thcre was" replied the other, but believe
she left the establishment about month ago."
Further inquiry reveald to Mr.. Arnold the
residence of the object of his search. TWAS late
in the afternoon when he reached n modest
looking tenement house in retired portion OF
the city. and almost angry at himself for car
rying out his within with such pertinacity, he
knocked at the door indicated to him as Miss

He blushed holly at his boldness when n pretty
girl arrayed ina neat wrapper confronted him.

"No, p
Mr. Arnold paused. For the first time he be-

must he seem to the charming young girl to thus
follow up mere caprice of her girlish fancy
But one look at that lovely face, one captivating

The day was drawing TO n close and the busy
labors of the great clothing factory In which
Dolly Wentworth was employed was almost
over, as she picked up coat and adjusted it to
her sewing machine to finish.
1.-THE last of the lot she murmured as she gazcd
ut the tables near at hand, piled high with fash
ionable garments manufactured by the operatives
that week The coat was one Of large order
from E. NJ. Kahn & Co., the clothers of Dallas,
Texas, and in material and style was par excel
lence in every sense Of the word.
"Oh! for little fun to change the dull monot-

garment, Dolly took pencil and paper from her
pocket and hastily indited the following brief
letter:

With merry smile the young girl folded the
note, and placing it between the lining of the
coat, sewcd 1t in It's place The clicking needle

letter in Its monotonous sounds, but the girls
thoughts found expression in the words:

intent to kill and sentenced to be dishonor-
ably discharged from the U. s. service

True Love.

There is true love, and yet you may
Have lingering doubts about it;
I'll tell the truth and simply say
That life is blank without it.
There is love both true and strong,
A love that falters never,
1t lives on faith and suffers wrong,
But lives and loves forever.
Such love is found but once on earth
The heart cannot repel it.;
From whence it comes or why its birth
The tongue may never tell it.
This love is mine in spite of all,
This love will never perish.
1t is love that cannot die,
But like the soul, immortal,
And with it cleaves the starry sky
And passes through the portal.
This love that comes to stay
All other loves are fleeting;
And when they come just turn away
1t is but Cupid cheating.
