over bashfulness, only to hear sweet:
"Yes, Charlie" "Can aspire to--that
is" Again lapse into silence, fol-
lowed by an encouraging: ayes, Charlie"
"Oh, il might only hope to-er-to"
Another failure Of language, 1t was
sosmingly hopeless case, and 1t might
have been, only for demure: "Charlie
I've said yes twice, and il you mean it,
too, and-and-" And to this day that
young man will insist that he popped

Uncle Cy Stubs, out in Colorado who
wrote effusively Of his delight at her
exhibition of what he called "grit" and
he proposed that il the young people
would locate at Bessemer he would give
them start in life. or course they sx
copied and were soon bidding their
friends adieu.
A few weeks subsequent to he above
incidents, travel stained party ar
rived at Bessemcr. Our friend Uncle
Cy, was in charge, and he led the party
straightway to hetel.
"Now we are ready for the cage for
your bird,' said Uncle Cy, as they re-
paired to the carriage. "The first thing

is no other establishment in this section
of the country where they carry con-
