1t was very hard being young mil
lionaire and having to marry girl one
cared nothing about. Charlie Sanford
had about come to that conclusion. lie
did not care In the least for Marjorie
Linfeld, but there was no girl In
his set he liked better; the marriage
had been arranged for years and was
dictated in Il large measure by bust-
ness requirements, and, since they
were engaged, Charlie did not see any
way out Of II without violating his
conceptions Of the honor of gentle
man.
He had dreamed sometimes of a per-
feet love, but he skeptically wondered
whether such thing ever existed.
Marjorie was like an iceberg, her
kisses we're ehillier than snow, and he
had only had two during their two
years engagement
Marjorie was away upstate at her
fathers bungalow, In the mountains,
and Charlie had six " ks before the
marriage.
i've a good mind To get out" he
muttered, as he stood In his bachelor
apartment. I've a good mind to dis
appear, to go west and start all over
again."
At that moment a singular thing hap
pened In through the window flew a
white pigeon, which perched familiar
ly upon his table aud began to preen
its feathers.
"Some tame pigeon of the neighbor-
hood, | suppose thought Charlie.
Then he perceived that "A note was
tied about the birds leg. He went to
It and secured it without any difficulty.
lie unfastened the little pad, opened it,
and read, in microscopic writing:
"Oh if there is such a thing as love
In the world, will "a not come to me?
