Consent! Yes, they consented. So

He then pleaded an engagement, and
took his leave, Stevens accompanying
him to the sidewalk TO express more

''Shall ask them all:' he said.
"WhOmever you please; it's your

he said doubtfully.

way would spoil it all. You'd find your

"Oh, don'tr cried Floy, nervously
touching his arm and glancing up quickly
into his burning eyes. She felt him
tremble. "He loves me-" she thought.
"He would do it."
Her modest eyes dropped; but too late.
She had quaffed the potion, the infection
had been exchanged; and that instant
the match was made in heaven.
Just at this precious moment-that

excuse, broke loose and sauntered for

felt, him coming, and her hand fell back
to her side, after a touch, a pressure,
just the faintest possible, but which sent
the blood thrilling through every vein in
her lovers body, and when Mr.. Quire
came up they were agreeing that in GER

loud for the voices,

Floy calmly, moving so as to let the

Mr.. Stevens and friends, it is needless
to say, were promptly and more than
promptly on hand at the station the next
day, where the ladies openly and the
gentlemen secretly grew very nervous as
the starting time approached without
bringing the magnate. But in the crisis
of their fears and at the proper moment
he came, all smiles; and then the fun be-

''Oh, hurry" exclaimed Floy-at which
everybody laughed. Gas if they would
