W DTOduWdy, uOWH DTOd uWdy ulltll you
come to the fourth street running river
ward. Down this street few PAGES
you will find cross street where an
electric light swings. At the end of the
street stands white house with street
lamp directly In front, and there you
will find me waiting to welcome you; if
not exactly with outstretched arms, then
with outstretched hands of welcome"
The period of ecstatic rapture seems
to have been reached within few days,
and Mlnna was no longer in doubt as to
what Henry looked like, or, in fact,
how he acted. There were no longer
the fervid rays of July sun at weak /,
but there must have been good odd
fashioned Westminster county stove reals
to induce such emotions as are indicated
in this letter: y
''Dec. 5, 1SS7.-My Dear Henry: can.
find no prettier way in which to begin.
my letter to you than this. | have
thought of my lover but it havdfed
too much of German romance. YOuSee
am critical. If | am not as well ver3ed
III Loves sweet language rs you would
wish me to be, my dear. forgive me, and
and teach me. For am sure you kluws
better than |. Otherwise, where could
you have learned your charming man
ners and winning ways, and how to win
woman'S heart? Who taught you the
art of that, dear? Was Cupid your play
fellow at your cradle? am induced to
think so. Anyway. you caught the.
rOguish laughter from his eyes for your
own.
"You asked me if could love you
little. In answer l would say that am
afraid l will find myself loving you a
great deal ere | know it. Shall l be
frank with you? L have met none
whom l have admired half so much
since | met the hero of 1.-The Haunted
Heart" And the copy of the poem
which l incl0Se according to promise
will tell you how very much | admired
him. Last night, falling away through
the drOwSy shadOwland between con-
sciousneSS and dreamland, with the
SWEETNESS OF YOUR KISSES
still upon my lips, fancied how pleas
ant it would be to dwell with you in
some enchanted castle OH the Rhine or
weiss on the blue Italian seas, and be
made love to by You all day long among
the blossoms. But the knowledge that
those rocky castles are apt to be very
damp and chilly, and give one cold, and
malaria turks among the Italian roses
and drains ones life-blOOd with it's vam-
pire lips, recalled me very reluctantly
from romance to reality, and with sigh
of regret fell asleep. And my dreams
were haunted by grim figure that
Swallowed me wherever l went-One of
Pinkerton'S detectives. Your kisses
bring back to me the melody of Tenny-
sons 'Fatima:'
y . once he drew
With one long kiss my whole soul through
My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.
And now, my lover, my handsome
Prince Henry-l am going to call you
Prince Henry, for you are as handsome
and stately as prince must write no
more to-day
with many sweet memories of our
meeting and the sweeter parting, when
parting was such sweet sorrow, we
fain would say goodnight until tO-mor
row.
And awaiting thegpleasure of your
next letter at very early date, am
your sweetheart. MINNA.
IN. B. am very pleased with my new
title, my dearest, and quite proud to be
your sweetheart. Dare | send kiss in
greeting? Yet l am afraid you took
them all last night
In answer to this, Dec. Z. Mr.. Morton
sent the letter which was misunderstood
by Miss Irving, and caused all fhe
trouble. He calls her My dear little
sweetheart and says:
Il am so impatient to give you one
long, sweet kiss that can hardly write.
Alas! how sad that we live far apart. I
would that [ could see you every hour
| do not think am so we'll versed in
love as you are. l think Cupid must
have been Your playfellow and not
mine. | am very happy to learn that
you were so well pleased with my visit,
and trust | will be able to make your.
visit to the city as full of pleasure. L
hope you will arrange it so that you can
remain in the city over night, for then
we can go to the theater together.
Please don't fail, as l wish to have you
= in my company as long as possible, My
head aches awfully, SO hope You WilR
forgive this short letter, but | could not
think of keeping my own darling wait
ing longer for an answer. Many, many
thanks for those dear, sweet verses.
with lot of love and all my kisses, l
am yours until death, HARRY"
To Mr.. Morton'S last letter Miss Irving
sent him the letter which she claims
was for the purpose of decoymg him
and having him arrested for attempting
to abduct her.
