few friends, who were to see him off
on the train. He boarded the north
bound Shenandoah train after kissing
this little country beauty. who had &C.
companied him to the city, good bye
That parting WAS too much for him. He
brushed away manly tear or two and
| controlled himself as best he could, but
it was soon evident that the poor fellow
could not control the great desire that
fingered In his breast to press the OBJ
Ject OF his alice tions close TO his beat
ing heart, as evidenced by the scene
which took place on the depot platform,
| much to the amusement OF the by-
ISLANDERS. AS the train pulled out he
hung his head out of tho window and
looked back, while the little girl
| brushed aside few tears and looked
| wistfully after the fast recsding train.
he WAS going far across the Virginia
lins to some hot springs or other for his
health, so one OF mis- friends told re-
| porter.
