WHEN LOVE LAUGHED.

It is that was in this country yet some time when l meet the fair Norah, Oh. no. M sieu'. it is not that I make the fiirt with her but that l am given the introduce by the brave Heiney Gruber: who makes the pretzel at the place of the bakeshop. I am all the time gliding the frame of the pictures in mx store. Yes. Heiney bring to me the fair Norah. an say that she wish to have me to make the frame of the picture of her father.
 Then 1t is that I have ask Ma'mselle Norah that may call and make my de- voirs. An she make the smile of sweet ness and say to me like this:
 Sure thing"
 So it is that I am often making the call at the house of the Dempseys. An bye-an'-bye, the fair Norah she begin to make me the frs name. An her papa. French. You see, Msieu', the frs name which I have Is that of Pierre. an the papa of Norah, he do not like the French, nor can he make the pronouncing as 1t
 Mon Dieu, they are awful. these Ameri- caine! The men! Not the women! No.
 So it come that have the track on the Norah. For why? An. M'sieu', you ask such a question? Have I not the belle airs, the graces, the accomplishment, the charm of the true son of la belle France Have you not seen it with your own
 It is thus, M'sieu'. I take the charm ing Norah to the chowder party of her fathers club an to the baseball game an to the hossracing an to the opera. But not so much to the opera as to the drama. For Norah, she say that she cannot make to like the singing of the prime dome. No. No. It Is not that she have not the divine love of the art, but she say that the dagoes get too fresh nowadays any way. an 1t Is not to the good to give them the encouragement by spending the money to get them to sing MaisA cer- goes. An, well. M'sieu'. when you have the experience of me with the fair sex then you will know as do how to please them. So 1t Is that I take her no more to the opera, but rather to show where the man stick the hatchet in the head of the other man an the audience laugh to the very much. Yes. An buy the ice cream an the sodywater Oh, M'sieu' make the Rome howl Yes. An so l have adap' myself to the circumstance an thus win the heart of the adorable Norah.
 Thus 1t is that one day make to her have the hand on my heart, Ms sieu', an make the speech with the grace of only the true gentleman. An, you should have seen me. Msieu' When I pr''pose 1t Is as the picture from the fan of Vatican, for grace, not for the garments, that is. Yes. An Norah, she make the blush-oh, the divine blush-an' she drop the eye an say mus see the papa.
 Dempsey at the office of himself, where he sell the street paving. An tell to him of my great love that I have for Norah. an he laugh at me. Mon Dieu! he hoss laugh. Yes. He say to me like this:
 Perry. you are one dam fine boy, but no daughter of mine shall make the VII aVsN-xr TrAHk, kI,A AIo frAs 1Aar No. sare! Not on your life" he say: "Begob. none of that will hoy in mine. '
 pr course. then my heart is to the break utterly. An when see Norah she weep 90 cents with the tailor to fix the coat once more. But YOU know the proverb that true love make the laugh at the lock- smith. So he also make the merriment at the papa. Listen. I will tell It.
 It is Norah that have the inspiration. An it is I that make the inspiration the reality in action. I frs have the confer ence with Antoine my frien'. He is the he will be mos honor to help me, an more than mos happy to be of assistance to the fair Norah. For he have seen her with me at the little supper on occasions. ppa Patrick that he an Norah take the petite dinner with me at the Cafe Fran caise. He say:
 Sure, Perry. me boy. But, remember, hp hntg irtogs; just the plain dinner of the An so 1t come that he have the seat ot honor With me an Norah at the table An tell him that we have the fine spring chicken of France. An he eat of the the nne spring chicken. Oh, he eat with the mos heartiness. Yes Yes He ask TOT more an Antoine himself bring the more an urge him that he make himself eat to the full of him. An at the last. he make the chuckle an say:
 Perry, they may not know much in France, but, begob, they know how to bedad."
 Then 1t is that am near to the fall out from my chair for the laughter. an Norah, she too is making the giggle. An when Ppa Patrick see the laugh that we make he ask what the joke 1t.
 ''oh. ppa, dear, 1t Is such a gran joke on you. It is not the chicken, but the leg of the frog that you have eaten so intensely"
 Now, behold the nobility of the M'sieu' Dempsey, who have often tol' me that he He look at me an then at Norah, an then he laugh until the walters all look to the table. Then he say:
 Sure ye are two of the young divil I must say. But it will be a good ting that we have all the frog-eatin in the family, so Perry, lad, YOU may have her, an God forgive the trick we've played on her poor ol' hungry dad. But are there any more of thim Frinch chickens in tn kitchen?'
 So you see. M'sieu'. it is true that the man of gallantry will fin no obstacle too much to the greatness when he have the grand passion in the heart of him. An 1t Is also true that the way to the heart of the p'pa-in-law is through the stom- ach. Yes, 1t is so.
