A GENTLE HINT.

George was a bashfnl lover He
scarcely dared to touch his lady's
hand. He loved her well and she
was worthy of his affection, for she
was modest, intelligent, sweet and
lovable 4; but. like all good women,
she yearned for the respectful
caresses that are the evidences of a
pure affection. She, however. yearn.

He might kiss the hem of her gar
ment, but to kiss her lips or cheek,
the very audacity of the thought

"Please, George, don't do that"
she said.
"What he asked in genuine sur

replied. "You were just going to
put your arm around my waist and

were going to do 1t. Well, after all,
| suppose you are not to blame. 1t
is just what lover would do to his
sweetheart, and I suppose / must
not be offended if yon do it,
And George grasped the situation
and did exactly what Arabella sup.

as involving the administration and he 10 no,
surprised. The result in Iowa he attributes
to the temperance issue and unpopularity OF

does not take the responsibility for Mahone's
candidacy in Virginia and holds whatever
assistance and support he gave Malone no,
more than he would have given any nominee Of
his party. Malone in no sense was personally
