'Raslnoss and Love Happily BIended-A
 Pretty Romance.

Pretty Romance.
 Detroit possesses one of the most mod est men in the world. Yet, withal, he is very successful in business, and now he is successful 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, it is true that in some fifteen years of man. hood he had made no progress in secur- ing a mate until within the last three months.
 A year ago a very intelligent and handsome young woman took position in his office as typewriter.
 From the very beginning he admired her, and day after day as she did her work this admiration grew into some thing stronger. Six months after her first days work he had called at her mothers house to see her, and after that he liked her still better, and it soon became evident that she had a preference for him, but his diffidence was too great and he never dared ven ture beyond the limit of a pleasant friendship, or, at least, he never men toned it to any one if he did, and least of all to the pretty typewriter.
 A month ago, however a happy thought struck him and he proceeded to put it into execution. About 4 o'clock one afternoon he came into his place of business with an air of heroic determination.
 ''I wish, Miss D." he said to the young woman, you would bring your typewriter into my private office. l have special letter I want written"
 "Certainly,' she replied and followed him, the porter carrying the instru- ment
 'Now," he said, when everything was fixed and the door shut, twill you please write carefully what 1 have to say?"
 She nodded and the instrument began to click:
 Detroit, Mich, July 10, 1892. Dear Mother:
 I write you to-day to inform you of a fact which I am sure you will be glad to hear of For the first time in my life I am in love"
 The instrument gave a half choke and the girl appeared to have caught her finger or been hurt some way, but the man gave little heed to it
 "The woman" he went on, "who has won my heart is rich"
 Again the instrument hitched and the poor little typewriter gave a gasp. It had not occurred to her before to think so much of this man.
 ''In all the graces," he said slowly, which constitute true womanliness, and if for my heart which she has un- knowingly taken from me, may hope to win her. I am sure I shall have x,ifn oyoH o Io1JChf0r. Sholl hot be proud of"
 The pretty typewriter had recovered her wonted skill and was writing along without a tiutter. 'I have never spoken to her," he con- tinued, lon the subject, and perhaps may never do so, for I cannot, unless there is hope for love, for we are very good friends, and I understand that where love would be, friendship cannot exist, and do not care to hazard that which 1 have for that which may never be-"
 He stopped q moment and the young woman looked up quietly for him to proceed
 "Dear mother" he went on, "t!.is young woman who has so gently and innocently led me captive, and who has all my future happiness in her hands,
 The girl was growing nervous again, md that she was making an effort to conceal her suffering was plain, but the man gave no moro heed than at irst.
 'Is," he went on, ''my typewriter lnd-'
 Then she stopped before she had written the last two words, and raising \ Ter big brown eyes to his face she looked tt him questioningly. He stretched out his hands to her 1elplcssly and fifteen minutes later he said to her smilingly:
 "Let us write new letter, dear, to our mother"
 And she did so.-Detroit Free Press. Cool and Plucky Girl. HoRNELLsvILLE, N. Y., Oct. 17-A II year-old daughter of John McGraw, ot
