you suggest.
Four years ago I met young man
three years older than l. who lived in
a city $50 miles distant. After enjoy
ing each others society for a few days

him for more than two weeks out OF
each year. Yet ] love hin, so dearly
that there Is nothing ] wouldn't do for
him. His happiness Is my happiness.

cause to- doubt my word, and 1 rope
he never shall have,
We are not engaged, yet there is a
degree OF understanding between us
which is the foundation Of deep COM

never dies Is based upon the one rule,
