 W-h-a-t?" cried the astonished Bob. What on earth are you saying?"
 And I almost overlooked the ring, Bob," she went on in the greatest glee. You are the darlingest boy that ever. lived, and you did it all so cleverly. Why a girl couldn't help but love man who would do things like that It's so different from all the other men. They are so commonplace and prosaic."
 See here, now he began.

The other things are worth a Kings ransom. l had no idea you were so rich"
 "Oh, quit your kiddin,' Bob called back, inelegantly. Did you say the candy was rancid?"
 No, said Kings ransom" she cor rected. sweetly. T haven't tasted the candy yet. I'm so excited that I can scarcely live. I'm simply f1abbergasted by so much beauty and grandeur. had no idea you were so rich.'
 I'm not" Bob informed her quickly. Don't let that impression get abroad in you head. I'll come right around and see what on earth you are talking about"
 He dived for his hat and in moment he was on his way
 THIS Is neither the time, nor the place, nor am l the girl to spoil the story with an anti-climaX ending.
 Should the young man have told his sweetheart how he forgot the day was her birthday and diunt get her any thing until the last minute, and then how he bought a second hand box of despised candy from his sister?
 Should he?
 Should the girl in turn have given him back the despised box of candy to give to his sister-to give back to the Rich Man who sent it as a tentative engagement gift to the girl?
 Should she?
 Behold how great a confusion a lit- tie box of candy can cause.
 There really was but one way out of the matter.
 Bob braced up and took that way.
