A FICkLE IMMIGRANT.

Her Experience with Two Lovers nt
Uncle SANS Barge Osdce.
"There seem to be manifold oppor-
tunitles ameng the immigrants coming
to America OH shipboard for falling in
love. particularly on the slower steam
ers. when people are thrown together
for period Of from IL to 18 days."
says John Glmer Speed in Alnslce's.
lin this case worthy young Russian
was cheated out of very pretty bride
by likely Italian fellow traveller Of
the maiden. Strangely enough, she
knew not one word of Italian nor he
a word Of Russian, yet the brides
countryman was Tilted, and the panto-
mime lovers were married and set
forth gayly and confidently to learn
each other and the great new world
they had entered at one and the same
time.
Another case was equally ludicrous.
A Swedish maiden Of somewhat ickle
mind fell la love with a fellow voy-
ager without apprising him Of the fact
that she was betrothed to another man
whom she was to meet at the barge
Office and marry. 1t was her intention
to hurry ashore with her new lover
and outwit the former by prior cere-
mony. but the red tape of the office
prevented that. and tho arst lover came
to welcome his bride. She then as
promptly fell in love with No. l. But
when No. 2 pleaded and threatened.
she could not decide which one she
loved the better, so she was detained
while the two men haunted the barge
office. glaring at each other.
when the detention time had elaps-
ed, the bride. stlll not knowing. her
mind, was sent unceremoniously back
on the same steamer that brought her
over, both Tilted lovers abandoning the
field in despair. But on arriving on
her native soil once more the maiden
dared not face her people, 80 back she
came, having just money enough TO
pay her passage. and sent for lover No.
|, declaring that she loved him the bet
ter. He replied that he was very much
obliged but as he had already married
a handsomer girl in the interval he was
compelled TO decline to come for her.
The maiden then sent word to No. to
like effect, but he declared that he had
had enough OF the fickle feminine. and
thus in defeat the maiden was trans
ported back again to face the leers and
jeers of her native hamlet"
