As he seemed to be really nice the

one. After he had occupied about ar
hour Of her time and also of her ia.
Tiers heat and electric light, she said:
"Oh, I'm so hungry for candy. VIII

He rose to show his willingness, and
the girl was delighted, believing that
her plan was going to work. But when
the drug store was reached and the
candy was bought he displayed no in.

course, she had to do it herself.
Furious at him and the whole world,

It, still in its wrappings, on the piano
In the living room And all the rest
of the evening she tortured him by
talking Of the JOY she would have on
the morrow when she ate the candy.
