When young Charles ,Gaynor rang
the bell at No. 228 Chestnut street
that balmy May evening he loved thz
whole world. In another Ave minutes
le would see the maiden who had beer
engaged to him all of two weeks. He
had not seen her for 3s hours. and
the time seemed 36-years:
Within the five minutes Charles Gay
nor was saying good evening to Matte
Raynor, the young lady in question, but
he had also dropped at least half his
love for the world. There was a caller
before him-Guy Spencer: He had been
there before him on several previous
occasions, and Mr.. Gaynor didn't ap
prove Of 1t. He wasn't quite so jeal
GUS now, that he was engaged, but Mr..
Spencer knew Of the engagement, and
why should he continue to come?
It Is the understood thing, even
among savages, that when . young
lady has made her promise the only
after-calls by warriors or gentlemen
are calls Of congratulation, and should
last not more than three minutes.
Here, however, was a chap who had
been very much at -home.-for, at least
20 minutes, and looked good for o
whole hour. It was plain that he
wasn't going to run off the track by
the news of an engagement. He-even
patronized the lucky man and then
almost ignored him.
Miss Matte Raynor was. 20 years
old, and there were folks who said
she was as kiddish as a lass OF 1s

He had got that far in his biography
and Miss Matte had praised his 'cour'
age over and over again, when Mr.,
Gaynor arose and left. AS the door
closed on him he gave the girl a look
that would have made a three-sheet
poster curl up. She knew what II
meant, and she got rid of Mr.. Spencer

Humble? Not any! The time foI

paring his lecture, and he was nc
sooner seated than he began to shoot

had made out that entertaining liai

in the eyes of the law, and that a de

Fifteen minutes later, citizen

They were told that Blake was
suffering only from a slight scalp
wound.
When asked about the case TO

They said that Blake had died

but refused to say what the mat
