the girl made no reply. Young's heart was filled with love, and at the delay in answering he gave vent to his feelings by breathing out honeyed words to the con- fused girl. Tears came into her eyes. At length she calmed herself and with a naughty glance she reproacheG her lover for what he had said to her.
 Nothing was said by either to the other for several days, but in a short time Young again proposed. He was a second time refused, and Miss Westfall told him that the next time he mentioned words of love to her she would leave his employ. For two months he re- trained, and at the end of this period he retold the story of his devotion and begged the girl to marry him.
 This she 1atly refused to dc, and she immediately left the store. She secured employment at the Chesapeal e restau- rant as cashier Here she remained for one month. .t .|
 A gloom came over Young, and he grew quite Respondent. He was natu- rally very peculiarman, and he had no intimate acQuaintances. He was of massive frame, being six feet two inches tall and weighing 196 pounds. Miss Westfall, on the other hani, is very small in stature. Young was quite per- sistent in begging his former clerk to return, and at the end of month she promised to do so, with the p:oviso that at the first proposal she wovld quit his employ for good. ..
 Young promised, and tried hard to keep it. But he .cule' not, and it was but short time un,.l Miss Westfan again left his employ.
 Shortly afterward he sold out his store at No. 1138 Sixteenth street, because for some reason he was unable to renew his lease. He bought, out cigar store in the California building, but he did not remain there long, and, selling out, he went away from the city. This was in 1900, and he is said to have taken about 5000 with him. Young had once a fortune, but he lost 1t in coal mines in Indiana, his native state: This was before he came to Denver.
 The John Foster mentioned in the will has not been found. He paid some at tention to Miss Westfall while she was in the employ of Young, and it is said that Young was insanely jealous of him. Although separated for all of these in tervening years, love remained in the mans heart, and his dying wish was that the object of his affections should re- ceive the bulk of his earthly goods The will of MT. Young was probated in Fort Wayne, Ind.
 Young was buried under the ausnicea of the Grand Army, in Akron, O., as he requested in his will. He was about 59 years of age.

A widow of this country, your honor will be pleased to observe, Is not like a widow of your honor's country. A widow of this country is not able to eat more than one meal a day, or to wear clean clothes or look after man. So my poor client has not such physic or mind as to be able to assault the lusty complainant. Yet she has been deprived of some of her valuable leather, the leather of her nose. My learned friend has thrown only an argument ad hominy upon my teeth, that my clients witnesses are all her own relations. But they are not near relations. Their relationship is only homeopathic. So the misty arguments of my learned friend will not hold water. At least they will not hold good water. Then my learned friend has said that there is on the side of his client respectable wit ness, viz, pleader, and since the wit ness Is independent. so he should be believed. But, your honor, with your

QUEER DENVER WILL
EMPLOYER BEQUEATHs ALL HE
 HAS TO PRETTY CLERK.
Only Condition Is That She Does Not Wed Hated Rival-A Rare In- stance of Masculine Con-
 stancy in Love.

His love spurned in life, his devotion extended even beyond the grave, for Mar tin H. V. Young, of Denver, Col, in his last illness did not forget Florence Westfall. who had repeatedly refused his hand and fortune. Now she may have his money without his hand, although on the condition that she does not marry another-John Foster by name.
 Woman's mad Infaturation for the man she loves is a common occurrence, but seldom is such true and lasting devo- tion in the opposite sex heard of.
 In 1898 Martin H. V. Young opened cigar store at No. 113s Sixteenth street. One bright day in June of the same year a girl just out of school came to Young and asked him for a position as clerk in his store The name of the girl was Flor ence Westfall. Struck by the beautiful face and attractive form of the applicant. and in need of clerk, he told her to come back the following Monday morn ing and he would give her a position, asking her first to leave her address.
 This the young woman did, and as she turned and walked from the place, the proprietor felt a strange sensation, and his eyes followed her to the door and then across the street. ...
 All afternoon the vision of the hand some girl fingered in his mind and he determined to employ her at once. Ac- cordingly he sent messenger to her home telling her to come to work the next morning. The girl was there promptly at 7:30 o'clock the next day, and she was instructed as to what her duties would be, and began work.
 Cupid's dart had pierced inc heart of the big fellow, and hard though he tried, he could not keep from loving his little clerk more and mor each day. At the end of month, unable to longer refrain, he proposed to Miss Westfal. Startled at first, and blushtng deeply,

MARQUIS ITO LEAVES KOREA.

The Japanese statesman's Visit Has
 Fully Reasxured the Koreans.
 SEOUL, March 2S.-Marauis Ito and his suit, including General Ijichi, the former Japanese military attache here, has left for Tokyo after having had a farewell audience with the emperor The departure of the Japanese digni- taries was attended by all the princi- pal officials of the government and by the foreign diplomatic representatives
 Marquis Ito dined with the emperor and the crown prince and was shown the most distinguished consideration during his stay here.
 The visit of the marquis has resulted in fully reassuring the Koreans, allay- ing all doubts as to the intentions of the Japanese government and paving the way for the extension of Japanese influence in Korea. The marquis has continually advised careful delibera- tion on the part of the Koreans and against any increase in the army and the gradual adoption of the reform measures suggested, and the accept ance of Japanese advice is now beyond question.
