this is his ultimate plan.
Like ardent lovers in knight errantry days
who stole their maidens fair from strong
castles in the stiffness of night. young
Hirsch has gone to law TO seek the object
OF his affections. The young man was en-
ployed as driver of e Good Shepherd laun-
dry wagon from September g. 1907, to last
Saturday, and he might be there yet had
not the mother superior detected the little
flame of love burning between these two
tender hearts. But the mother superior de-
tected that flame, and though she did not
succeed in extinguishins II, she presented
Mr. Hirsch with check for the wages due
him and got another driver for his wagon in
hurry. Young Hirsoh gives an heroic
recitation OF this thrilling episode.
The little flame which the mother su-
perior did not extingush was famed into
being by the draft of an elevator shaft,
II happened to look up the elevator
shaft one day." says the young knight.
"just as Florence chanced to look down IT
and Florence smiled. Then 1 smiled and
the next day we both smiled that way
again. Other days came and We smiled
some more. Then we got a cnance to ex-
change notes / soon found out that Flor
ence would leave the home IF she had a
chance. / thought could make the chance
for her. We contrived- code system by
which we communicated with each other
Maybe l would whistle a certain tune or
Florence would sing a certain song We
understood. Notes were easily slipped in
laundry bundles. i think what made me
determined to get Florence was one day
when l peered in through the room where
she was working and saw her darning
some garment OF mine. That settles IT.
I said to myself
well, something had ito be done; smil-
ing and whistling and singing wasn't
enough. Florence had to come to me- So
We arranged It this way; I got a suit of
mans clothing for her and even got a pipe
and was fixing It up all nice for her 10
join me when Mother Superior discovered
the plot I don't know how she discovered
it, but she did. And then 1 got a check
for the wages due me and left the home.
And you are going to marry the girl.
are you, when she is out?". was asked the
young man.
"oh, that is for her TO say, 1 think we
are engaged and / think she 50 considers
II, but 1 won't try to rush marriage for.
except for that sweet little courtship In the
convent We are strangers. l want her 20
have plenty OF time and opportunity to look
me up and find out all about me before
she decides she will marry me- But even II
We never get married would continue this
project and courtship and then 1 kinder
guess wen get married"
Miss Tinsley is ignorant of her lovers
attempt TO secure her dismissal from the
convent, but he and his attorney have com
municated with her mother. who lives in
Salt Lake, and she has assented TO IL.
though she has not the means to provide
for herp daughter.
Hirsoh was reared in Boston, an orphan.
and he has the energy and enterprise that
usually attach to an orphan boy brought
mp In large city. He is out Of a Job
now but says he can get one any day ana
mas no doubt OF being able to make his
bride happy and comfortable.

mother superior TO have the young woman
