From the Detroit Free Press
Detroit possesses one Of the most modest
men in the world. Yet, withal. he is very
successful in business aud now he is success
full in his heart affair.
Possibly it was because he was SO busy
that he had no time to learn the art Of love-
but whether so or not IL is true that in some
fifteen years of manhood be had made no

some young woman took position in his
office as typewriter.
From the very beginning he admired her,
and day after day as the did her work this
admiration grew into something stronger.
Six months after her first days work he
had called at her mothers house to see her
and after that he liked her better and it
soon became evident that she had q prefer
ence for him, but his diffidence was too
great aud he never dared venture beyond
the limit of q pleasant friendship, or at
least, be never mentioned it 30 any one il
he did, and least Of all to the pretty type
writer.
A month ago, however. a happy thought
struck him and he proceeded to put it into
execution. About 4 o'clock one afternoon

woman, you would bring your typewriter

Again the instrument hitched and the

her smilingly:
