The Right Letter.

The familiar situation of the bashful
wooer, who doesn't know whether to
propose, and doesn't know how to pro
pose, is given n new turn by story in
the Chicago Inter Ocean. The hero.
JOHN, had been calling on Mary for
three years, but that was as far as he
got until, visiting 81. Louis on business.
he found himself detained beyond the
expected time.
He had to write to Mary. explaining
his absence on the usual evening. and
while writing, the courage he had 50
long lacked came to him. and he made
a point blank proposal of marriage. He
mailed the letter. and for TWO hours
was one OF the happie>t men in Mis-
souri,
Then he began to believe he had been
prccipitate, and was asSailed with
doubt as to how his letter would be re-
ceived. That night lie didn't sleep. He
thought all sorts of things. and vainly
wished he could intercept the letter be
fore it reached her. But that was man
ifestly impossible.
1t was not until noon the next day
that he received an inspiration as he
was passing a telegraph office. Rush
ing in, he seized Il blank and ncrvously
pcnncd the following:
Miss Mary ---, Chicago: Mailed you
wrong letter yesterday. Please do not
open, and deliver to me on my return"
After that he breathed frcer, at the
same time wondering if he hadn't play
ed the fool in not letting the matter
stand. That evening a telegram was
awaiting him at the hotel. 1t read:
John -, st. Louis: No. you mailed
right letter. 1t was about time"
And John didn't allow business to In
terfere with his return to Chicago.
