A Txpewriter,s Little Romanoe.

A pretty little romance is rounding
into shape in the Office of an invest
ment company in this city. A hand
some and worthy young lady type
writer and a young man of substantial
business standing, of good habits and
pleasant place, are the parties to it..
An aged and rather well-to-do widow
er, who lives in a suburban town, had
a good deal of business with the IN
vestment company and was fayorably
taken with the typewriter letters that
he had from the company. These
things are gotten up in good shape, "
said he, land I'd like to see the one
that composes 'em. They are easy to
read and are to the point The old
gentleman's son. by way of a joke,
told his father that a handsome young
woman prepared the letters and that
she was the sweetest and most practi-
cal girl on earth. The old man said
little, but began an Investigation, and
at the office of the company was di-
rected to a roguish young woman, who
admitted the authorship Of the letters.
The old man meant business. and
promptly and pointedly told her that
She would win good home and a
snug fortune by marrying him. The
Young woman would not make a posi-
tive reply, but TO carry on the joke
gave tacit assent to the old boys suit.
About this time word was conveyed
to the son who had sought to be funny
with his father that the old gentleman
and the young woman had really seri-
Gus intentions. He then set about to
stop it. Going to the young woman,
he said to her in his matter-of-fact way
that he was decidedly opposed TO a
marriage between her and his father;
that he had money of his own and
would gladly contribute any reasona-
Bile sum that she might name rather
than have the marriage take place.
This was the first intimauOn that the
Young woman had that the affair was
growing serious enough to be looked
upon as a certainty by the old gentle
mans family She frankly confessed
to the solicitous son of the aged swain
that she had only been romancing,
and that he need not fear that she
would take the Office of step-mOther
to him. In this interview both were
Enthusiastically pleasant and frank,
and thee parted good friends and so
on. The young man found 1t neces-
sary to call again and again, and the
young typewriter welcomed him cor
daily each time. And 50 visits have
gone Oh. and the friendship has grown
into love between them, and here Is
the romance. This explains why a
wealthy young man is soon TO marry
a pretty typewriter girl, -hansaS CITY
Times.
