life partner. He soon formed the
habit Of going down to the depot In
the evenings and watching the crowds
- they came and went.
As the months slipped by II became
almost q mania with him. and he be-

become noticeable.
Suddenly one day at the office he
laid his head on the desk and quietly
fell ten million feet into a dark and

answered.
"Yes, I DO; yoa'S my dream girl"
"You're tnlkiag nonsense" she

he asked at last.
"You know I'm the daughter OF your
mothers schoolmafe aud we came

wrote you all about t."
"Right In my owa hoInel" he kept

A few weeks later he ran into
Gresham on the street, who asked
