Each Other in Order to Enjoy
Legacy of an Eccentric Aunt

Berlin.-An extraordinary romance
OF love is reported from Elbing, where
Hermann Hessberg, slipper-maker,
has just married lady to whom he
had been engaged for 80 years.
When Hessbers was a young man Of
overweight he fell in love and was
about to marry. To his .chagrin, how.
overland We may suppose equally to
that of his fiancee-a wealthy aunt,
upon whose financial assistance the
lovers had been counting, forbade the
marriage under penalty OF dislnher-
itance. The ceremony was according
" postponed and Hessberg and his
bride.elect awaited with what amount
of patience they could summon for the
removal of the only barrier that still
kept them apart.
Before long the aunt died, and the
last obstancle to happiness seemed to
have been surmounted But when her
will was opened the lovers found that
her nephew had been appointed her
heir upon one condition. That condi-
ton was that he did not marry the
lady of his lover for at least another
30 years. This Intelligence was COM
municated to the unhappy girl, and.
with stoical resignation, the lovers
settled themselves down to the pros.
Dect of a 80 years courtship. Their
period of probation has now expired.
and they have become man and wife.
The marriage, however, had TO take
place in the house Of the bridegroom.

AS he read the account Of the abso-

business associates, Philip made a
great resolve. He would 90 back to
Hillcrest OH the first train, and be-
fore Elsie had seen morning paper

His pride would not allow him to

For a moment Philip was stunned.
Then anger blazed up in him, com

he knew the girl cared for him.

pocket, he pointed to the front page
with staring headlines Of her fathers

of Pride

They sat in rose bower on a quaint
rustic bench. The silver light of full
moon filtered through the leafy GOV,
ering Of the secluded nook. making
fantastic patches OF light that danced
in grotesque disorder when the soft
summer breeze stirred the leaves over

Both Elsie Poole and her companion,
Philip Matthews. were i'll at ease.
Elsie nervously toyed with her fan,
and the toe of her satin slipper. peep
ing out from beneath her chiffon gown,
tapped restlessly on the closely clipped
grass underfoot.
Philip, too. was perturbed. He had
been deeply in love with his fair COM
panion for many weeks. and now, as
he gazed into her limpid eyes and con-
templated the perfect form, the ex-
quisite beauty of her face, the velvet
softness Of her skin. it was almost
more than he could do to restrain the
mad words of love which struggled for
utterance.
But he dared not tell her Of his pas
sion.
What right had he. clerk on a
small salary. to love the daughter OF
wealthy banker?
Il am sorry you must so back to
town tomorrow. Philip. Wouldn't 1t
be jolly if you could remain mp here in

Just to bring the conversation around
to personal topics.

Silently he bent over her hand and
pressed his burning lips to it's soft
surface.
The next moment she was gone, and
the light of the world had fled with
her.

bought a paper, and the first thing

Gentlemen: l like to give you a lit . tie soft soap. hut not too much. on account it ain't raining. To begin with you published a pretty good pa per with lots of news of whats go- ing on about the city of Nome. But this town reminds me of a dog. of one that hasn't got his tail cut off. for there is another place which is the tail end of Nome. which they call the Sandspit. where a good many Si- washees live and they are all good people. I take notice that one of the Nugget staff is hitting that gang plank across the river pretty regular as he has some strings to draw him there. Now. gentlemen. if you please. and have no objections. use a little more dope. or larger type when you write anything about the spit. so we won't need a magnifying glass 'to find 1t. Yours respectfully,
