HIS LoNG0ELAYED PROPOSAL.
French Story Of Note in Bouquet That
Was f. Years Unanswered.

One of the longest delayed proposals
on record is related in a French story
of a shy young subaltern who was or
dered away to the wars Not daring
to speak, ne sent a nosegay OF yellow
roses to the girl he loved. with little
note inside begging her, il she re-
turned his love, to wear one Of the
flowers in her breast that night at the
ball. She appeared without it, and ne
went away brokenhearted
Years afterward, when he was a
lame old general, he again met his
old love, now whitehaired widow
One day his old sweetheart gently
asked him why he had never married
Madam" he answered somewhat
sternly, you ought to know best. II
you had not refused to answer that
note in the bouquet Of yellow roses
might have been a happier man. The
note in the bouQuet?" she repeated,
growing pale
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from a drawer a shriyeled bouquet
OF what had been yellow roses. among
whose leatless stalks lurked scrap Of
paper yellow with age See, ! never
had your no,e," she said, holding The
bouquet up. If had / would not have
answered It as you fancied" Then
answer it now said the gallant old
soldier And the long delayed pro
posal was accepted at last

er she claims Mr.. Smith entered into
an oral agreement with her to keep
house for him and become his sole
heir.

Smith, and on his death Mrs. Rice
brought suit for two-thirds of the es-
tate, being what she claimed as her
