The epzootic is not entirely confined
to horses, as the following will show.
They had been keeping company year.
He told her Friday afternoon that he
would be up early Sunday evening, as
be had something of great Importance to
tell her, and present to give her.
With woman's keen intuition, she
knew what the something of importance
would be, and she looked forward to the
hour with sweet expectation. He was
there Oh time, but hardly in the condi.
ton he desired.
A heavy cold had tackled him the
night before, and his eyes were red and
inAamed; and his nose was nearly twice
its natural size, and shone with a luster
that would have appeared to much better
advantage on door plate. Sin gularly
enough, the young lady was similarly
conditioned. She ushered him into the
parlor, and, without any preliminary
ceremony, they were on the sofa to-
gether He took out his handkerchief,
and. finding dry section, wiped his
nose. This reminded her of duty she
owed herself, and she attended to it at
once. He held one of her hands in one
of his, and his handkerchief in the other.
Then he spoke:
"Susad, | cub donide do dalk do you
of subdig dearer-ah-ah-ooh "a prompt
application of the handkerchief cuts off
the sneeze in its bud)-dearer do me thad
my libe - ah-ah-thad id--ooh- oohk eI

ments pause. "Tbe god ad AWFUL
code" he explains with due solemnity.
"Sobe l." she pathizingly replies.
A moment is devoted to silent use of
the handkerchiefs, and then he con.
tinues:
"Darlig. you musd hab seed all de t;be
how mudge-oohooh ker (the handker.
chief again saves him)-how nudge

'Thid id AWFUL" he protested, walk
ing around the room; for the final ex.
plosion had raised him to his feet. She
wiped her eyes and then her nose, and then
gushing; but owing to the watery con-
dition Of the former and the fiery glow
of the latter she appeared to an unhappy
advantage. But he did not notice it.
He felt of his proboscis teuderly for
moment, and then returned to her side.
"Darlig, cad no lawyer lib widoud
you. Widoud you hbe would ideed be
a widderdess; wid"-
She impulsively raised her hand.
"Ker-ker-ker chewr she shouted.
He paused and gazed tenderly out of
his inhamed eyes upon her convulsed
features
"Darlig, he softly continued, seeing
she was through, lyon cad neber know

chief, while the tears ran down his
checks.
She took advantage Of the lull to I'M
obtrusivelv apply her handkerchief,
"Susad,' he began again, grasping her
hand with fervor, and clutching his
handkerchief with equal earnestness,
