Inc Deer. the notes on the two lovers
and the balky mule all got mixed up
In an awful combination. Here are
verbatim copies Of his two articles as
they appeared In type:
THE TWO LOVERS: Or, CUPID WITH
RAPTvRoUs CRAMPS.
He looked down into her dewy OPP
ties with hungry halo about his
ope-for-a-moustache. Like the yield
ing tide drawn by the witchery Of
Luna's spell, the beautival damsel
with raving curls mantling her ala
baster neck, crept nearer his breast
pocket. Their souls drifted on the
pillows Of the boundless fathom-
less. Ecstatified morality dallied
with the nectar of the gods. He
encircled the sylph-like corset with
his palpitating arm, while the gulf
stream of transport submerged his
scalp and sweetly loosened his ingrow-
ing toe-nails. The queenly head bowed
like willing lily and rested conlid-
ingly Oh his sheltering breast. Eyes
melted in eyes, breath mingled with
breath--he pressed her like a crushed
flower To his volcanic diaphragul--his
lips met hers-then he threw himself
right back in the breeching. She
looked panied and surprised. She tried
10 conx MIN To proceed, but the obsti-
nate beast fouted his ears defiantly.
she called him pet names, and he
lifted up his voice and shook the
horizon with derision. She imploIed
him to go on in the usual way, but
he bowed up his vertebre and settled
down under the homestead act. All
the affronted sensibilities Of her We
manly virtue rose at this lndignity.
She drew herself up bravely. raised
her snowy arm and smote him resent
fully. he felt the singing blow, and
blind with rage he kicked; kicked of
her Langtry wave and kept kicking
Rings, buckles, Plus, bits OF steel
springs and ofhea bits Of peronal prop
erty attested the fury OF his assault. 1t
is impossible 70 tell what would have
happened but for the timely arrival OF
some promenaders. He paused
In his rash act, abashed
and all broke up by their presence
He coughed and crossed his legs and
acted innocent. He spurned the turf
with his impatient feet. He started
up. as If TO run away, then SUNK back
in his collar like he had the sweeney.
She seemed proud of the situation,
and never fiinchcd. Toying with y
truant curl, she met the quizzical gaze
Of the promenaders like dallying with
the nectar Of the gods was frequent
and refreshing occurrence. The prom
enaders passed on. A little snowflake
of hand iioated into his. That
touch treasured him. He stretched
the traces of love, and began pulling
and Juggling in the old way, as the
cleaning deepened into darkness and
the stays OF the sylph-like corset
tluted the sleeve of his linen buster.
