ahead OF him, he picked up the glove
and. Fastening on. asked the comely
young woman he overlook il the glove
belonged to her. She smilingly &C
knowledged that It did and thanked
Mr. Blunt accordingly. Moreover, he
noticed or fancied he noticed look
OF admiration il the young woman's
eyes, which was not surprising, for he
was a good looking man.

There are trifiers among the lowly
rs well as among the swells, and Mr..
Blunt was bent on an affair with the
pretty ladys maid. He called often,
and his attentions appeared to be high
" appreciated. Susan seemed a bit
fond of finery and jewelry, and Mr..
Blunt considered himself fortunate in
being able to crafty her, especially in
the matter of jewelry. he made her
presents of q few inexpensive orna-
ments, but they did not seem TO satisfy
her. John found her very fascinating
and in order TO gain her good will pro-
duced articles Of greater value Finally
he found himself so deeply infatuated
that he proposed marriage.
To his surprise Susan refused him.

she might reconsider her refusal. She !
