A Dramatic StOYg.

William Iieferman is a wen-to-do
young printer in Chicago and the
story OF his love for beautiful Grace
Nunroe and the winning Of her might
make a play in six acts. and there
would be no boring moments for
the audience. He met Miss Munroe
two years ago. and was much attract
ed by her girlish beauty; she still
lacks being eighteen years old bv a
few days. and when IIeferman first
saw her she was a tall. slender. slip
OF a eirl. with beautiful dark eyes and
a wealth Of brown hair. In spite of
her youth she strongly attracted LAefer-
man. and he saw her as frequently as
he could.
It appears that the tall young printer
found favor in the eyes Of Grace Mum
roe. too. There followed many walks
and drives together. and the friendship
gradually warmed into love. At r.sr
the Rev. Alexander Munroe. whose
attention is given largely to work in
his pastorate in Chicago Lawn. paid
little notice to those frequent meetings
OF Lieferman and his daughter. When
they forced themselves UDon him. he
put them aside with the thought
that II was only a boy and girl hirta-
tion. such as girls are bound TO have.
and many of them. before they at last
decide To wed. The crash came when
few months ago Lieferman and
Grace Munroe told the pastor that they
loved one another and wished to be
married
DR.. Munroe was i.clined 20 laugh the
affair aside al first. but when he saw
that the young people were in earnest
he few into a rage. and declared that
his daughter should not marry Liefer-
man. and that she should not even see
him again if he could prevent IT. It
was a severe blow TO the young couple.
but they managed 10 keep in touch
with one another, for they are both
popular. and had plenty Of friends will
ing 70 do them a good turn.
