the row? Where's her kick?
The girl without replying and went again TO
the little desk and from a pigeon hole took copy Of
the Gazette
A heavily underscored paragraph stood out blackly
in the center OF the page under picture of couple
Of nordInately corpulent and nsuficently adorned
Cupids who engaged in weaving clothes-ne
around a. pair OF bleeding hearts
Donney directed his small. decp-set eyes upon It,
He read laborously, for Donnellys school-days had
been spent for the main part In the accumulation OF
other knowledge than that OF books.
"By no means marry the young man. my dear. 1t
hurts me deeply to say this, but you must remember
that youth Is the period of development and the
twig Is bent will the tree incline. At present the
young doubtless appears to be OF good habits.
But the seeds Of ntcmperance have been sown, and.
fear ME, will but grow greater with time, thereby
making OF him a drunkard and you. should you wed
him. that most miserable of human kind drunkard's
wife, Instead let me suggest that you join good
Sunday-school class where you to meet some
nice refined pleasant young men, and among those
you will am sure find such mate as you
deserve to have
Donnellys interest in the letter saved him from
comment until he had reached the end. And once
there, he incapable OF comment: which was, per-
haps Just a. we'll. For he strong man In anger.

When Nellie had regained control OF her emotions

Donnelly started
Who's she?" he demanded savagey. an what's
she buttn' in here for anyhow, I'd like tub know"
The girl gazed up at him in surprise.
Why don't you know who Lydia Love p" she
asked, In amazed tones.
Donnely shook his head renectively mo" he
replied. Never heard Of her. Who is she?"
Why" explained the girl shes the lady who
runs the Balm for the Heartslck and Advice to
Young Lovers department in the Evening Gazette.
She knows everything"
ooh. she does, does she?" queried Donnelly in
vidiously.
why, yes of course" returned the girl "If she
didn't, she couldn't have charge Of department
like that could she, and in newspaper, too? or
course she knows everything about such things as
engagements and weddings and who should marry,
you know. Why, she tells everyone what to do"
AN do they do t?" demanded Donnelly wonder

Donney silent. His brain in the performance

So continued the girl. and she was talking bro
kenly now, although felt perfectly that It

Donney eyed the sobblng girl with much perturba-

He led the weeping girl to the sofa. and seating
himself beside her gently drew her head down upon
his shoulder and stroked the tumbled hair with ten
derness that would not have thought possible

Slowly the girls sobbings ceased; and at last she
sat erect and wiped the tears from her dark eyes.
Tell me all about it. Nellie" said Donnelly gently
The girl brushed stray wisp of hair back from her

head
