 murmured Yes" in my most duIeet accents, and immediately received bis reward for my acquiescence.
 My heart bounded in response to knock at the front door, soon after breakfast the next morning. I knew i+ was the unknown's hand that had vv,eIded the ponderous bronze ring. { heard in my distant dormitory the door opened and closed, and then there was 8 pause. Next quick step on the stair gentle tap on my own door. and the entrance of the housemaid bearing card.
 The piece of pasteboard bore my loves name, and at the back, in pen ciled letters, this short sentence, Will you spare me a few minutes?"
 Not loverlike, certainly; but I clothed it in loves own language. When I entered the drawing-room I found the unknown impatiently drumming his fingers on the window. The face he turned toward me was grave, not to say gloomy; but, still unsuspicious, went toward him with a gay welcome on my lips. He shook hands, certainly, but constrainedly.
 oI have sent for you" he said. to to dash 1t! I don't know how to put what am going to say. It is most confoundedly awkward. The fact ia. had 10 right to ask you to be nay wife last night, for I cannot marry if I would.
 Why did you. then?" I asked. coldly.
 Well. to tell you the truth, it was that deuced wine at supper that did it. It went to my head at once, and the waltz afterward finished the business. I am come to throw myself on your generosity. My income dies with me if marry, and as I have DO profession I must keep single"
 "Go!" exclaimed I, with whitening look, and pointing to the door.
 He obeyed me and went, and left the most miserable being behind him.
 After the first paroxysm of outraged nature was over I crawled to the eel lar, and I did not leave that place till every bottle of gooseberry wine lay at my feet in shiyered atoms Exchange.

Of Change Left by Customers Help Out
 the Cashiers Salary.
 Philadelphia Inquirer: Odd bits of change thoughtlessly left by customers form no inconslderable part of the income of cashiers in certain business establishments, notably restaurants. saloons, cigar stores and similar places where. during many hours of each day. there Is a steady rush of patrons. "I get St5 a week salary" said a cashier. and I always count on an additional s, or 50 cents per day. through for gotten change 1 do not consider that am doing anything dishonests either, because 1 always make an effort to at- tract the customers attention to the fact that he is leaving his change be- hind. Nine cases out of ten I succeed. even if 1 have to send a waiter to fol- low the man clear out into the street. But there are enough of the tenth cases to make my receipts foot up all of the sum weekly I have named. The majority of them are people in a hur> ry to catch train or car or to keep an appointment, and they haven't the time to return. even if they did dlscov- CT their loss a square or so away. The next day they don't care. or at least a majority of them do not.to speak about such small matter. the overlooked changs seldom being more than five or ten cents. and I am just so much ahead The proprietor get 1t! Certain iy not. It doesn't belong to him, and just so the money in the cash drawer balances with thsT register he Is sat- hned" The presiding geniuses of the strical box cfsces are also occasion. ally in pocket through the careieasness os ticket purchasers. but with box of- nce transactions the change. if any. Is usually In such large amounts thAe their opportunities are fewer and tar- tAer between.
