Love i'm n Balloon.

Some time ago | WAS staying with
Sir George Flasher, with great num-
ber of peple there-all kinds of amuse-
ments going on-driving, riding, fish
ing, shooting, everything in fact. Sir
Georges daughter, Fanny, was often
my companion in these expeditions,
and, falling in love with her I deter
mined to take the first opportunity of
proposing. So one day when we were
together fishing on the lake I went
down on my knees among the gudy-
cons, seized her hand, pressed it to my
waistcoat, and in burning accents ell
treated her to become my wife.
Don't be u fool, she said. 'Now,
drop it, do, and put me fresh worm
on.
oh, FannyT l exclaimed, don't talk
about worms when marriage is in ques-

from the lawn, and Fanny had tor

fine. The balloon was inflated. Fanny
was in the car. Everything was ready,

He was carried into the house, and Sir
George accompanied him, Fanny was
