Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1904-03-05

You should go, a very interesting
country"
George from this on talked intelli-
gently and interestingly for he had
been a wide and observant traveller;
accommodating a seemingly inexhausti-
bic fund of clever anecdotes To all
appearances he was totally oblivious of
the icy atmosphere he had created
around him and on taking his leave
made his adieus with his handsome
face wreathed in smiles and upon
reaching the street laughed heartily.
This was too much for Charlie.
Have you anything to say?"
Nothing"
We'll like that! You made pretty
ass Of yourself; she'll never speak to
me again! Why didn't you tell me you
were an idiot before l took you there?
promise you If you had, I'd never have
done it,"
Say Charlie?"
"Umph!"
your Miss Darlington is the most
charming girl 1 ever met
What! Well that's the last straw"
Isabelle turned quickly to the fire and
sat down, bolt upright the very pic
ture of indignation:
THE brutei-He's a savage an IL
hammered bore. This is more of Char
| lies stupidity I'll have it out with him
| poor Charlie) I think I can manage
to make it very uncomfortable for Mr..
George too-Carlo! You stoopid dog,
wake up! can't you see that am an
CRY? You seemed to take great fancy
to the enemy, what have you got to say
for YOURSELF"
This to the large ST. Bernard
stretched out lazily before the fire. who
opens his big, sleepy eyes and stares
wonderingly at his mistress as much
as to say:
We'll! Your cutting up big muss,
its you affair don't drag me into 1t. l
rather liked him."
In truth Carlo had placed his head
confidingly upon the "savage's" knee
all the evening and had been continu-
ally stroked for his pains.
Isabelle continued; speaking half to
iCISCli' nail W liC Jug.
II never was so taken back in my
life. he is detestible!"
| She sat looking into the fire, with
her chin resting in her hands for a few
moments, then broke into a merry
little laugh.
Il believe l like him.-he's different
from the rest-decidedly! I think we
might get along famously. that is If he
doesn't change and become sentimental
him. l believe I'll forgive him, but
Charlie is awfully stoopid.
Four months have rolled by since
that memorable evening when George
first met Isabelle, and the friendship
between them has ripened wonderfully;
but however that may be. no other bar
rier has been broken, but between you
and me and that proverbiai little bird
who tells us so much of other peoples
affairs. Isabelle has confessed to Carlo,
with her dear arms around his shaggy
neck and her charming head close to
his, with the suggestion of tears in her
voice and in whisper so low that even
his sharp ears need be at close at
tention
Il love him Carlo. but would rather
die than tell him so. he is so cold and
formal-he is savage so there!" and
burst into tears.
George has also attempted to con-
fess; to the unsympathetic Charlie.
Charlie l haven't the courage TO go
and ask her | know she would re-
fuse me-what else can l expect? after
airing all those terrible views about
women; she'd throw them all back at
me and laugh at me. couldn't stand
it--Never,"
Jehovah and the Continental Congress
are you talking about""
isabelle of course!"
"Whew, l being a mortal enemy of
yours advise you to try, O, yes, GER
tainly of counsel"
'Oh. hang it all, do be serious Char
lie. Can't you see I'm miserabe?"
See it, Well should say I could.
You've been incoming around here like
| Sith tlti iOT tle ldSt month!
"Oh go to the"
The door slams violently and George
fails to show up until late In the even
ing. and much to Charles surprise, his
face is wreathed in smiles.
I've hit 1t Charlie. Let me see
This is the tenth-the twenty eighth

| We'll of all the - believe you've
gone daft. What's the matter now?"
Nothing
The morning OF the twenty-eighth
of September dawned bright and clear
on Isabelle's twentieth birthday. AS
