like n cherry bird in explanation OF this

My dear madame" became the ad.
dress used by Herr Muller i'll his later
and it may be presumed that by
who afterwards and after the death of the
wife became the mistress of Herr
Muller's heart and home.
He had suggested to Miss Cammerer
that she and her father had too much con-
about the divorce papers. and
limited that the fact that the papers had
not arrived from Indiana ought not to
keep him from his darling Lenchen, but
10 no effect.
She persisted In loving wisely enough
to insist on seeing the evidences of her
divorce from his former wife.
Tho marriage date had been fixed again
for March .. but on that day Herr Muller
said to her in a deep tone of grief: My

never mind; they will soon come and
nothing shall ever part ms. .
Then he gave hera pair OF diamond ear
rings to bind tho bargain again. and the
game of waiting and s Ching wal resumed.

e Mr.. Muller went into poppor's private
office and said Oh pepper! 1t " only

marry ms without the divorce papers. "
Miss Cnmnerer's M and gesture were
pelodramatic and pleading. Then she
assumed the bass voice and manner OF n

In April Herr Muller's protestations of
lndying love were backed mp by bank
inclosed in bis mlssivcs. Late in
april he urged her in person TO marry
lin. without waiting for the divorce. and
IN her refusal declared that she was an
Id fogy like her father.
In the month of May he VISITED her
While she was sick in bed. He had tickets
or Europe and stateroom checks for two.
10 demanded that she marry him secretly
nj that they fly to Europe. She refused
i'll the divorce papers were produced.
He left in despair and in answer to a
Iote from her he wrote the following ON
