owner of large mandatory, who had
married young and was left widower, had
an only daughter, to whom all the most
desirable young men in the neighDorhood
were paying attention Her father noticed
that she treated them all with Indifference,
and showed preference for young CLERK of
his. an orphan, with no means but his
salary. As he had always given the greatest
satisfaction in the performance of his
duties, and was exceedingly well conducted,
the father, persuaded that he would never
venture TO raise his eyes tn his daughter,
who evidently sincerely attached to
him. made up his mind to breach the matter
to him
What was his surprise when the young
clerk, after much he station, told him he
would be only too happy to regard the
lady as a sister, but h. could not marry her,
because he was not a man, but young
woman in disguise-a disguise she had
adopted when left an orphan in order to get
a more lucrative situation. The CONCLUSION
of the story is that, inst a of marry ing the
dau liter she is the wife OF the father
