A WASHINGTON ROMANCE.
CHAPTER I.

"Ts If b2uteur or it a maiden's coy
ness causes you to turn away your
head, lover"
George Lindsey stood with his arm
about the willowy form Of Imogene st.
Lawrence. The scene was the ances-
trail halls of the st. Lawrence family,
in the fashionable northwest quarter Of
the city. George Lindsey had asked
Imogene St. Lawrence to be his bride.
That was just prior to the remark
which opens our story. And the dear
girl had softly promised; and the lovers
stood there in the cleaning drinking
that sweet intoXication which never
comes but once.
1T is not hauteur, George" replied
Imogene ST. Lawrence, in tones IKE
far-off church bells. But, George

common onion of commerce, and my

trenchant boquet that it would take tho

look ahead. 49,,

fair girl. tenderly. Il babe him ask

when the balance of the family get in
on the game they will pay for their
chips in advance"
Can we not leave them, George;
leave them and fly together?'
Your father is rich, Imogene; that
Is a sufficient answer There was a
touch of sternness in George Llndsey's
tone, and the subject Of flying was
dropped.

night to Col. Sinnott. About 10 O'Clock
the Col. noticing one of his guests,

waiting for the evening train, pulled q

salmon and their habits in particular.
At the mention of fish both gentlemen
grew attentive, and from the few words
the Col. allowed them to inject into the
stream of the conversation, showed that
they were interested in the subject, and
pretty well informed. AS the Col. be-
gan to diIate on the wonderful traits,
tricks and former abundance of the
salmon, both gentlemen became silent
and interested listeners, and the smaller
of the two got out q memorandum hook
and hogan taking notes of the habits of
this wonderful fish.
After listening to a glowing descrip-
tion of the salmon clim hing the rapids

had sized up as an Eastern banker, in
qnired how the fish got over the falls.

cannot make it they come close to the

spring will throw them several feet into
