There was a young man who had a
girl friend. He went 10 see her at reg
ular intervals He made his last call
one day last week. She had some wed
ding cake from the nuptIals Of friend
OF hers, aud she was telling him OF a
way she had discovered for finding out
whether you were going TO get married
within a year. 81 will take some OF this
cake" she said, "and put it in this
envelope, and l will take seven
slips OF paper and write on six OF them
the names OF six girls you know, any
one Of whom you are likely TO marry
The seventh / will leave blank. Then l
will put the slips in the envelope with
the wedding cake and give the whole
thing to you. Now, you must take 1t
and put it under your pillow when you
60 home. In the morning, the very hrst
thing after you open your eyes, you
must take out one slip. Do this for
seven mornings in succession, and on
the last slip will be the name OF the girl
you are sure TO marry. II the blank
comes last you will never marry"
The young man was quite Impressed
with the scheme. He took the envelope
and promised faithfully TO fulfill all the
conditions and to come back and report
at the end of seven days He went
home and put the envelope under his
pillow. Next morning be drew out
slip, and on it was the name Of the girl
who had given the charm to him. lie
thought that that was pretty tough
luck, for he really liked the girl very
much. He was out rather late the next
night, and when he awoke he was In
hurry aud forgot all about the charm.
When he got home that night he began
thin king the matter over and wondering
who the other girls were.
He got the envelope and peered into
it. The slips were all carefully folded
and he could not see a name. Then his
curiosity got the upper hand. He took
out all the slips and unfolded them,
ell Of the remaining six had names on
them and in each instance the name
was that of the girl who had
prepared the charm. He sat down
and thought long and earnestly. Then
be put on his evening clothes and went
straight up TO that girls house. be
STAYED a long time, and when he came
away be was smiling and happy, and
there is going to be a wedding on the
West Side one of these days!
There is a girl who has long head.

NEW YORK, May 31.-When the old
New York Hotel was closed there was
a free distribution Of old Bibles placed
in the guest rooms years before by the
Bible Society. II occurred then to
Johnny Farrell, who had managed the
cafe for ten years, that it would be
graceful act TO have the staff Of the
hotel put their autographs in the books
and present them to the old patrons
and guests as souvenirs. So the front
pages were duly signed, and as each
patron took his farewell drink he was
presented with one Of the volumes.
Johnnie took one Of the Bibles home
with him and his wife, in examining the
book, found in the pocket in a back
cover, a marriage certificate which
stated that on a certain day 10 March,
1890, Anna German, Of Danvile, Vir-
glnia, was married TO Ralph Preston, Of
Richmond, Virginia, by the Rev. DR..
Deems, OF the Church Of the Strangers,
OF this city.
The young couple had eloped.
THE ROMANTIC INCIDENT
had made an impression on the hotel
people and Farrell determined 70 write
90 Ralph Preston and tell him OF his
find. This he did but received no reply.
Last summer one OF the New York dali
les referred in a paragraph 10 the Civ
ing away Of the bibles as a piece OF sac
rilege. BY some strange fate a copy OF
this paper has recently reached the no
tice OF Mrs. Preston. She 10 thought
less moment, while a bride az the old
hotel, had placed her certificate OF mar
riags ia the bible In her room and bad
forgotten all about it. Some difference
arose between her and her young hus-
band while on their European tour aud
they separated. While at a small viii
lage in Switzerland he was seized with
a fatal Illness and Ia only few months
the young bride found herself a widow.
She returned to Richmond only 20 ind
that the Preston family
WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE MARRIAGE.
She had no proof, as both her husband
and the clergyman were dead, aud she
has borne this humiliation In silence
ever since. When she saw the para
graph about the Bibles the remembrance
came back like a fash Of the disposition
she had made OF the certificate, aud
With the doubtful hope Of finding IL she
came TO New York and called on John
Farrell and was put 10 possession OF the
precious document which not only in-
Bures her proper participation IN her
husbands large estates but restores her
honorable position in society.
Mrs Preston offered a liberal reward
TO John for what be had done In the
matter but be refused all recomPense,
feeling amply repaid by the pleasant
results.
