Woman Who Loved Strange Man Is
Shocked When Child Calls
Him Father.

She was demure young lady, and
she attended normal school some
where in New York state. Every Fri
day she came home to visit her people
in New York, and always returned on
Monday morning. Usually she had to
wait at least 20 minutes at certain
junction, but often this was stretched
into half an hour on account of irreg.
ularity of trains. To pass the time
easily was a pretty hard matter. But
her hopes lay in the parsonage of a
tall, broad person whom she had seen
standing on the platform on numerous
occasions.
Once she saw his face, and right
away she had visions of dainty home
she as housekeeper, and he as pro.
prietor, and she told all her friends

of hers" whom she had seen and

REASON SHE NEVER MARRIED

The Fridays and Mondays passed,
and no advances came from him. One
day, however, he offered her book
to read, and the ice was broken. OF
course she assumed a shocked air,
but just the same she was "just
crazy over the fact that he had 500
ken. Every week she went home and
returned to school he was there, and
each day she saw her dreams becom-
ing more and more like those she was
expecting.
They were in the train one Friday,
as she was going home, and he was
standing In the aisle speaking ardent
ly, when suddenly a little figure
rushed in the car, and pair of Won
derful blue eyes looked up at the
man and said:

The young lady was shocked. and
the man blushed and left without even
saying goodby, and her friends won
