and finally she married him to get
rid of him-a sort of defensive move
ment. She grew to love him without
knowing about it, and he didn't know
it either
One day il rRined in torrents, and
at night the frost came so that in the
morning the front steps were covered
with ice AS he opened the door to
go TO the Office she saw the condition
of the steps and a great wave of love
swept over her. and she rushed and
got the urn, sprinkled her first hus-
band on the steps so that the second
husband could walk down in safety.
That is real love.

P F. Lyons, Chicago, western rep
resentative of a large eastern fac
tory. who is a periodical Rock Island
visitor. vouches for the truthfulness
of this story:
Lyons has an intimate friend We
Will call him Morton. They travelled
the same beat as drummers for years.
Both were bachelors. Morton one
rainy night called Lyons to quiet
! corner of the hotel and told him he
had finally fallen. He was in love.
He tried to resist, but he couldn't.
He was to be married. He named the
date. Lyons received an invitation
and sent a present Lyons had new
( er seen the bride.
1t was nearly two years later that
Lyons and Morton met il Louisville.
They met on the street. Morton was
tripping along with a dashing young
woman at his side. Lyons was pre-
scented Morton sad the young wom-
an was his wife. Lyons congratulate
I ed both, and they parted.
! Some months later Lyons happened
/ to visit Morton home town, Indian
apolis. Lyons called Morton at his
home over the telephone. Morton,
during the conversation, insisted that
Lyons should dine at his home that
night. Lyons protested on the grounds
that he had a train to catch in a few
hours. Then Morton called his wife
10 make the invitation unanimous.
I'm glad to meet you again. said
Lyons.
Meet me again? Why I never talk
ed to you before in my life, did -"
Sure you did"
Where"
~. why, in Louisville Let's see, 1t
was about two years after you were
married. Remember me meeting you
and Tom on the streets. Remember
how you called me for not taking a
. wife,"
Lyons finally promised he would
dine with the Mortons. When Lyons
and Mrs. Morton met. Lyons caved.
Mrs. Morton naturally was embarrass-
ed. For moment there was an awk-
ward silence.
Mrs Morton turned to her husband
for an explanation.
You know, dear" he said, 81 have
cousin in Louisville-a dear girl
that l never fail TO see when l make
that town. l have neglected to tell
you about her before Lyons knew
was married. 1 was walking down the
street with Alice and for a joke 1 in
troduced her as my wife She's a good
locker, but you have got it all over
her"
That squared things with Mrs. Nor
ton.
And the best part of the story is
that Morton really has a girl cousin
in Louisville said Lyons, "and she !
it was he introduced me to-"
ON A COLD AND SNOWY DAY.

You mean the ice?"

Yes"
We'll, it's going out all the time, ex-

Il know; but it's the ice that's gone
out and not the river"
Certainly. but IL the river wasn't
there the ice could not move"
Then. according to your argument

and tell you that the river had gone

Just then the hotel corridor sweeper
broke up the argument by asking the
disputants to take seats in another part

jury duty. Abe, guided by the notice
he saw printed in the paper. was
ready for service Monday, but when
he reached the court house he was
told that the court had found it would

ton he had to pay car fare. and was
away from home for two meals.
