HOW GEORGIA FATHER GOT RID OF sUIToR
HE DIDN'T LIKE.
From the Georgia Cracker
1t was IL o'clock. Thomas Singleman still
fingered in the tapestry-lined parlor of the
Hogamont mansion. There was slight noise
upstairs, when Gabrielle whispered:
"Oh, Tom l think it is papa, and he so OBJ
jects to you staying SO late"
Before Mr.. Singleman could secure his hat
the door opened and Col. Hogamont entered.
Gabrielle Jane, you may leave the room
for moment wish to speak privately with
Mr.. Singleman."
With beating heart she gladly LEFT, then glued
her ear to the keyhole outside.
MIR. Singeman, want to ask favor. As
go past the store l wish to settle a bill of $40,
and l forgot to call at the bank on my way
home. Can you spare that much until to-
morrow evening""
Mr.. Singleman was happy to perform the
favor.
You need not be in hurry to leave,
Thomas; my daughter appreciates your COM
pany, and have no objections"
He left the room, and Thomas and Gabrielle
were radiant with happiness. Next evening,
about the same hour, the old gentleman en-
tered and obtained similar loan. 1t occurred
also the evening following. The next evening
a slight noise was heard upstairs, and Mr.. Sin
gleman grasped his hat and left, saying:
Gabrielle, if your papa should inquire of
my absence tell him l took suddenly sick.
Goodby. sweet" and before the old gentleman
was half way down the stairway MIR. Singleman
was ploughing his way homeward through the
murky night. The old man smiled and returned
to his slumber.
Thomas says that even prospective marriage
is a failure, and Gabrielle Jane spends her
evenings at home.
