How Young Woman Was Shocked /
Her American Sweetheart

How Young Woman Was Shocked by
Her American Sweetheart.
A friend of mine from New York,
who was visiting in the city last Win
ter, became engaged to a young woman
says writer in the Cosmopolitan. Elk
cepting a few moments chat with his
sweetheart at the low bay window ON
the street the young man in question
had never spoken one word alone to his
fiancee. To an American, especially u
New Yorker, this peculiar state of af-
fairs was inexplicable and the warmer
his affection grew the more uncomfortable
became this restraint. FINALLY, one
evening when the object of his devo-
tion was left alone in the window, man.
ma eXcusing herself for moment to
obtain drink of water, nothing seemed
more natural to him than that his hand
should seek hers. Before the poor fell
low had been able to give it that gentle
pressure which to lovers means more
than thousand words his sweetheart,
shocked beyond expression, rushed
away from the window crossing her.
self, as is the custom of the women
at the first Indication of the approach
of the dread earthquake or amy other
danger or evil
The next evening when the amazed
American attempted to explain that an
engaged couple in his country were
permitted not only to clasp hands but
even to kiss each other, the young
woman vowed that she would never
leave the peaks of the Andes for such
n wicked country.

"a Yankee officer certainly" laughed
Lambert. Give never met Capt. Close"
The effect of this announcement on
Mr.. Potts was surprising. 1t well-nigh
sobered him. He slowly drew back un-
til he sat erect, his head webbing bit
in spite of his efforts at self-control.
Presently he began to speak, slowly and
impressively at first, then winding UP in
verbal entanglement:

the coveted treasure might be within
grasp. Then he wrote from Madrid.
where he had gone in consequence Of
rumor that the precious vase had beel
sent to the Spanish capital and placed
in museum.
After that she did not hear from
him for a long time. She began to
grow uneasy, first for the Cellini vase
and then for her nephew. She had
not before known how fond she was Of
him.
1t was a year from the time of hid
departure that Will returned, WALK
ing in one evening as quietly as if he
had been down town for an hour on
so, and had just come back.
Mrs. Branscombe sprang to meet him
in transports of delight. After she had
welcomed him and asked him how he
was and where he had been and why
he had not written to her, she said:
Il forgive you for not bringing tha
vase. After all, Will, think I'd rather
have you. You know was always fond
of you"
Will almost whistled in an excess
of incredulity, but checked himself III
time.
"That reminds me, though" he said,
taking box out from some mysterioua
hiding place, "that I did bring the
vase"
He opened the box and took from
it vase beautifully wrought of silver
ornamented on one side with q golden
Venus rising from a silver sea, and on
the other with a swarm of small
Tritons disporting themselves gaily on
the crests of silvery waves.
After a period of breathless contemi
plation, Mrs. Branscombe cried:
What can 1 do to pay you for such q
beauty?"
"You know there is only one thing
want"
Mrs. Branscombe looked over at Ma,
bel, standing with eyes downcast, not
looking once at the classic piece OF
workmanship.

Then her eye fell again upon the
exquisite carving of the master gold,

what did she say?"
"She said she would not do anything
without your consent, when you have
been so good to her" 8
Good child" said Mrs. Brans-
combe, with one eye fixed apprecia-
lively on the girl and the other on the,
vase. II can't refuse you anything
now, Will" Y
Will and Mabel withdrew to the next
room to discuss the subject, while Mira;
Branscombe remained in delightful COM
temptation of the wonderful handi-
work of Cellini.
DO you suppose it is genuine?"
Mabel asked the day after she and VIII
had returned from their bridal tour.
They were looking at Mrs. Branscombe's
treasures, chief among which was the
marvellous vase.
II know it is" replied Will. 2
How do you know"
He bent over her and whispered:
