Spelling A Bridal Arrangement.

The telephone girl had gone
asleep while fifteen or twenty people
were talking, and snored On peace
fully while fifteen or twenty more
we're trying to talk, but could not
secure connections. Number after
number went down, but she reckoned
not, and the warm rays of the sun
fell upon her back and made her
sleep more soundly. There was
bedlam among the patrons of the ex-
change, and everybody was talking
about her and eommingling her name
with that of the deity in a way not
over complimentary to the girl, when
she suddenly awoke, having dreamed
that she had fallen into the arms of
a young Irishman in a dead faint.
When she realized that she had only
dreamed, she was not happy, and
the way she set plugs and helloed
was strikingly wonderful.
"Hello!" she snapped, as she set
a plug in $40. "Who do you want9"
81 want 624, pleased"
"All right. Here it is"
"Hello! Is this Wallace Weston?"
"Yes, sir what will you have?!n
"Wellace, you remember you
asked me for the hand of my daugh-
ter last evening, don't you?"
eyes, sir, and you refused your
consent"
$50 I did, Wallace, but I have
changed my mind. I have conclud-
ed that you can have her if you want
her. You can marry her right
away"
"Why, Mr.. Brownlow, what has
changed your opiniona' Here the
girl, who was listening to the con-
~versation, switched on "a man who
was telling his son-in-law what had
happened his wife that morning, and
the reply to Wallace's question was:
"Why, my boy, she has just given
birth to q pair of twins, and the
sooner you come down the better it
will be. She wants to see you very
badly"
Wallace's friends are puzzled to
know why he went West so quickly,
but the telephone girl knows an
labout it and Is satisfied.
