 This one did. He told me of a poor little Columbus girl who was hopelessly in love with him. Unrequited love is such a bid for sympathy, you know, and in this case it seemed so dreadfully pathetic. Poor little thing! If she could only care for some one else! But then she couldn't, he knew. He was worried, in a lofty, condescending kind of way. He hated to think that he must wreck life on the shore of loye-but then he could not care for her-for, well, she cared too much for him, you know.

 "Oh, yes, 1 am, and it's great fun, too. And you ought to see the way they all be- lieve it! Talk about fattering a woman! Why, they can't be touched compared to man. Why. it has never occurred to one of them that possibly 1 might not mean it! Oh, yes, I'm an object of pity, all right Let's see-Im to commit suicide twice, go into two nunneries, and-well, die of six awful shape.
