A Portland Romance.

The Lewiston Journal tells the follow
ing story of Portland woman:
When a young girl, she fell desperately
IN love with poor fellow, who returned
her affectiods, but didn't have money
enough to pay the parson for marrying
them. After a deal of consideration by
both of them it was decided that he
should start for China, to seek his fortune,
and that she should remain behind and
wait for his return. She made a VOW that
she would not marry for three years, and
if at the expiration of that time he had
had not returned she would be at perfect
pleasure about matrimOny. Accordingly,
the lover boarded the first ship he could
find that was bound for China, and the
lovers parted. Six months passed by and
the girl heard not word from her lover.
A year went by and no lover. The girl
grew almost distracted, for she came to
the conclusion that he had either gone
back on her or was dead. A second year
went by and nothing was heard from him.
At this time another gentleman began
paying his attentions to the lady and
finally asked for her hand in marriage.
The girl thought of her VOW and said no,
not until the three years is past. The
second man urged her with all his power
to marry him. He offered her wealth and
every luxury money could buy, but she
was true to her vow, and said she would
not marry till the expiration of the three
years. Long before this she had supposed
her lover dead.
The end of the third year was drawing
to a close and she had promised the ar
dent sutton, who had been paying her
every honor in his power for year and a
half that when the time was up she would
marry him on the following day, if her
former lover did not return. The day
came, and the man didn't return from
China. On that very day the wedding
bells were rung, and they were united in
marriage.
Hardly had the marriage ceremony
been performed, when ship came into
the bay from China, and on board was
her lover, who had left her three years
ago to gain fortune for them both-re-
turned. Imagine, if you can, her grief.
when she saw him. He came back, album
dainty rich, to claim her as his bride, and
she had three days before married anoth-
er. The blow nearly crushed them both.
But six years wore away and in the mean
time the nan married and went out west
to live. In few years his wife died. He
had not heard one word from his old love
for many years and one day, merely for
curiosity, he addressed a letter to her

young married American belle, PLAYED by
Miss Rehon. They had not played it for
some months, and before PLAYING to a
critical audience, such as was on board,
they rehearsed the lines while promenad-
ing the deck, Some of these lines we're
overheard by prim and precise old
couple, who we're greatly Mortified by what
they saw and heard The lines were ut
tered quite seriously, as if the actors
were really at rehearsal, and at disjointed
intervals some of them were, to say the
least, compromising. For instance, this
occurred in the hearing of the p. and D.
persons:
Miss Rehan-Let me remind you of a
trifing objection. am already married.
Mr.. Drew-But your husband is I'M
worthy.
Miss Rehan (sighing)-I feared so.
Mr.. Drew-They all are.
Then the couple passed on, leaving the
p. and p.'s looking at each other in amaze
ment. After a short walk the players re-
turned to where the listeners sat. Their
conversation seemed to have grown warm
er. 1t ran thus:
Mr.. Drew-You interrupted me when I
was about to describe my feelings toward
you. You called it friendship, but it is
rather -
Then they were again out of hearing of
the Mortified listeners. Again they return
ed. 1t was she who was speaking at the
ment. The p. and p.s cooked up their
ears to hear.
Miss Rehan-You say, my lord, you are
willing to make any sacrifce-that you
love me, and me alone
The p. and p.'s heard no more. They
had heard enough to Justify them in tell
ing Mr.. Daily that his company was like
ly to be involved in scandal by the elope-
ment, on reaching Liverpool, of his prin-
cipal actress with professional ball
player, who had made her believe he was
a nobleman in disguise. Mr.. Daily, much
Mortified and grateful for the disclosures
of the p. and p.'s, pledged them to silence,
and the same night placed them in the
front row of the impoverished orchestra,
where they could not fail to hear Mr..
Drew, as the young nobleman in the farce,
repeat the same lines to the American
belle. The p. and p.'s have not spoken to
Mr.. Daily since the performance. 1t is
my opinion they haven't spoke pleasantly
to each other since. The company since
describes the p. and p. couple as the b.
