Why Bangs Is Not as Joyful as ar
Accepted Man Should Be-An.
swer Not From His Adored

-. "
Bangs beautiful blush lighted up
Mrs. Pruncs' boarding house on every
occasion that sentiment was under
discussion.
You see, Bangs was in love, love
was in Bangs; 1t penetrated his whole
system; lie saw and felt nothing else
but love.
Bangs hadn't fallen in love; he had
risen, and now he was at the top
rotch; he vas balancing on his too
on the top rung. and he found 1t quite
hard to maintain his balance. Yet he
was n cool.headed young nan-except
on the love proposition.
Josephine was her name, and 1t was
enough to hear Bangs pronounce II
to know that he loved her passion.
ately.
Among other drawbacks which kept
Bangs from declaring his love was
that Josephine had a mother. An
austere woman. she wasn't passionate
over Bangs, because Bangs was only
n drygoods salesman. Her husband
had been a plumber before Josephine's
mother got hold of him and made him
raise the price and keep II there.
Several times she had snubbed him.
and Bangs went as che arfully to her
house as one does to an icehouse In
winter.
n night Eangs worked himself up
and was about to pitch into a pro.
posal, when, suddenly, softly, with a
swish of skirts, JosepEine's mother
entered the room mi sat down be-
tween them. The hot words froZe in
his mouth, while Josepbine's mother
was gazing p~assively through her
lorgnette and looking at him as she
would have studied Il water color in
an art gallery.
1t was all off hat night. Bangs
knew 1t.
Again he tried to slip In a word or
two Of love Observation-Disclosures
s%ephine's mother was there.
He didn't know when he could see
Josephine alone.
Immersed in his murky thoughts, he
sa: behind his counter and tried to
6Sure n way out.
a light broke suddenly upon him.
Rushing eagerly to the phone, he
called ~Josephine's house.
20. I'm Sc glad it's you, Josephine.
Don't interrupt me. I've something to
say ana | must say 1t quickly. I love
you, Josephine, love you. VIII you
marry me?"
He pressed the receiver to his ear
and listened ~intcntly for her soft, COO
Ing ~'Y-y-y.es.s."
Suddenly he slammed the receiver
down and looked about like a hunted
animal.
We'll, I'll be blamed" he gasped, as
soon as he could. Il thought 1t was
Josephine and, there, 1t was her
mother. What shall l do?"
All Bangs Cid was to blush and bite
his finger nails. In fact, that was
about all there was left for him t do
now.
