more but care for none but him. He
is 1912 years my senior. He has
written to me and his letters are nice
and polite. I see him sometimes six
times a day. but mostly twice. When
ever he is away I like him Just the
same He always speaks to me and
seems Glad TO see me He said he liked
me and speaks well of me wherever
he goes? Every one likes him. Do you
think he cares for me and that I love

STICK TO THE GIRL.

Dear Miss Fairfax
Some time ago met a girl
who was keeping company with my
chum, who was called away from her,
and while away he told me that could
call on her once in a while.
This I did, and fell a victim TO her
charms. / won her love and lost my
chums friendship.
This girl has shown that her love for
me is strong, and what want to know
IS, what am l TO do2
Here is a little proposal that I made
to her: I would 90 away from her. and
then she could forget me, win back her
first lover and be happy with him. Her
answer was that she did not want me to
go as she loved no one but me.

You love each other That fact stands
out paramount TO all claims Of the
other man on her love or on your

sympathy would be greater If she mar
