HOW 1T HAPPENS.

When the stored shades of evening
Wrap the world in their embrace
And with witchery enchanting
Soften natures rugged face,
Mystic shadows fieck the wayside;
Not a shadow stirs the air,
And you wander in the cleaning
With lady passing fair.
Underneath the spreading branches
OF quiet country lane
AS you listen to her chatter,
While her fancy has free rein,
Comes to you an inspiration
From the stars that wink above
And if you are not quite careful
You will headlong fall in love.
Busy, omnipresent Cupid
Whispers something in your ear;
Softly you repeat the message,
Bending low that she may hear;
Visions of a happy future
Lightly DER your fancy fit
And before you know what's happen
ed
You're engaged and glad of it.

In 1897 Mary Scott, in San Fran

in litigation, and his wife ran up bills
which would have thrown him into
bankruptcy but for friends. In 1900

became one of the most promising
