A Breach Of Promise Case.

They were in to see lawyer yes
terday-Mary Ann and her mother.
Mary Ann was little embarrassed,
but the old woman was calm. When
they spoke about a breach-of-promise
case the lawyer asked:
''What evidence have you got!"
"Mary Ann, produce the letters"
commanded the mother, and the girl
took the cover off willow basket and
remarked that she thought 927 letters
would do to begin ON. The other 651
would be produced as soon as the
case was fairly before the court.
''And outside of these letters" 2"
queried the lawyer.
''Mary Ann produce your diary"
said the mother. ''Now turn to the
heading of 'Promises,' and tell how
many times this marriage business
was talked over.'
''The footing is PA times" an
swered the girl.
''Now turn to the heading OF
Darling and give US the number OF
times he has applied the term to you.'
eff l have figured right, the ,tota
| is 9.254 times-''
'I guess you counted pretty
straight, for you are good in arithme
tic. Now turn to the heading o.
'Woodbine Cottage and tell Us how
many times he has talked of such :
home for you after marriage"
''The footing is 1896 tines
''Very well. This lawyer wants Il
be sure that we've got case. How
many times has Charles Henry sait
he would die for you?''
'Three hundred and fifty" an
swered the girl as she turned over
leaf.
"How many times has he calle'
lyou an angel?"
"Over II 900, mamma"
| "How about squeezing hands?"
cover 3s5 900 squeezes."
"And kisses?''
NEARLY 410, 10O."
"There's our case," said the mott
! er, as she deposited basket and diar
on the lawyers table. "Look owe
the documents, and if You want any
thing further can bring in doze
neighbors to swear to facts. We ST.
for $4,000 damages, and We don
settle for less than an eighty-acl

old maid covered her head and kicked
and yelled, and the dog bit pa on his
pants, and pa had bis vest off and his
suspenders unbuttoned, and lie got
scared and took his coat and vest and
went out in the hall, and l opened
our door and told pa he was in the
wrong room, and he SAID he guessed
he knowed it, and he came in our
room and I locked the door, and then
the bell-boy, and the porter, and the
clerk came up to see what allied the
old maid, and she SAID burglar got
into her room, and they found pas
hat on the lounge, and they took it
and told her to be quiet and they
would find the burglar. Pa was so
scared that he sweat like everything,
and the bed was offul warm, and he
pretended to 60 to sleep, but he was
wondering how he could get his hat
back. In the morning / told him it
would be hard to explain it to ma how
he happened to get into the wrong
room, and he said it wastn't neces-
sary to say anything about it to ma.
Then he gave me five dollars to go out
and buy him new hat, and he said l
might keep the change if / would not
mention it when l got home, and l
got him one for ten shillings, and we
took the O'Clock train in the morn
ing and came home, and I spose the
Chicago detectives are trying to fit
pas hat onto burglar. Pa seemed
to be offully relieved when he got
across the State line into Wisconsin.
But you'd died to see him come out
of that old lady's room with his coat
and vest on his arm and his suspen-
ders hanging down, looking scarf.

words softly to George w. Simpson
a blush of maiden msdesty famed

face and disappeared silently behind
the tiny pink ears that stood like pig
my sentinels on a battlement Of rose
tinted flesh, soft and warm, and with
beautiful curves whose dimpled out
lines would have made even an an
chorite resign. George had been tel
ling her that beautiful story Of the
princess of olden times, who, when
her lover was stricken down by a
poisoned arrow, knelt by his side, and
with her own ruby lips, drew from
the wound the fatal element. When
he had finished the girl gave utterance
to the words with which this chapter
opens. And then, for an Instant,
silence fell between them.
George was the first to speak. ''If
I were wounded by a poisoned ar
row, darling, would you emulate the
example of the princess?'
The girls form shook with a sud.
den tremor, and her head fell upon
his shirt front.
~ could not do it," she sobbed
through her tears.
