count was frightfully overdrnwn.
Now. II happened that Mr.. Wheaton
vas sadly In need Of shoes. Like most
people who do not know when. how
and why they are most attractive. he
deemed 1t essential to the success of
his suit with Miss Twiss that he
should keep up appearances. He did
not realize that his necessities were
his chief assets with the girl who
loved him. He went to fashionable
bootmaker in the hope Of being per-
mitted to enlarge his already stable
account by an order for another pair
OF boots. While he was endeavoring
to soften the mans heart he was hor.
ror stricken at seeing the object of
his love enter the shop.
Wheaton, seeing no way OF retreat,
advanced toward Miss Twiss and
greeted her as heartily as II he were
really delighted to see her. She had
come in to order footwear and was
surprised to learn that Mr.. Wheaton
had his boots made by her shoemaker.
He turned the topic Of conversation
to other matters and as soon as pos
sible got away from Miss Twiss and
the shoemaker.
The latter conceived the idea of
turning this chance meeting in his
shop to account. He saw I'm It a way
to collect his unpaid bill against
Wheaton. Knowing the young mans
idiosyncracies WELL he sent woman
to him to solicit charity. directing her
to say that Miss Twiss sent her. Whea-

and his love was ut stake. II would
never do for him to refuse to give to
a solicitor who had been sent to him
by the lady he hoped to marry. Ask
Ing the lady to wait. he took his snuff
box around the corner to pawnshop,
borrowed S25 on 1t and gave the mon
ey to the solicitor.
Miss Twiss had noticed Mr.. Whea-
toms embarrassment when she had
met him ut the shoemaker's aud d.

matter over and sent n messenger to
the shop. directing him to pay Mr..
wheaton's bill and take receipt
