A Familiar Tragedy.

'In our Office, said clerk, 'it
is clear that tragedy has been
enacted. The hero I'll call Brown.
He is a big, raw-boned farmer
from Vermont, ugly and awkward
and always horribly dressed, but
a great hustler. He doesn't
smoke or drink, has no bad hab-
its, the boss is proud of him, and
and he's sure to get along. His
age is 27. Well, it seems there
was a girl back there in Vermont
whom he was stuck on. Six
months ago he bought a 5000
ring, and after he had shown it
to us at the Office he sent it to the
girl. Three months afterward
he bought a 1925 ring-it seems
the girl had lost the first one.
We all laughed at Brown then.
She's playing you for sucker,
we said to him. Working you
for engagement rings. Well,
Brown, that's the limit. He
grinned over the joke, and a month
ago he went home on his vacation.
He didn't say he was going to
be married while away, but we
all understood that. He took all
kinds of ugly new clothes with
him, and we wished him Joy when
he left, and, though he didn't
admit that he would bring back
wife, he didn't deny it. Brown
returned last week. He was sit
at his desk, on his high stool,
when | entered the Office, and |
rushed up and shook him by the
hand and said: Congratulations,
old mani He frowned. What
forY he asked. why, amt you
married? said l. No. snapped
Brown, and what's more, l don't
know that l ever will be-. No
one said anything further to him
after that, but the next morning
it was rumored about the office
that the night before he had got
ten drunk for the first time in
his life. "-Philadelphia Record.
