| Love In a Dictionary
[Original.]
Not long after my being graduated as
a civil engineer I was placed In charge
I of a section of a rallror 1 running
through a large tract composing the
hacienda of Don Jose Miranda. On the
evening of my arrival on the ground
I received an Invitation from him to
muke his house my headquarters. Had
I been older I might have declined to
place myself under obligation, but In
youth one Is not so likely to refuse
favors.
Nor Is one at that age overscrupulous
In love. Don Jose had a pretty daugh
ter, Dona Ysabel, who was heir to a
considerable portion of his estate. I,
who had nothing but iny profession
and not much Income even In that,
should not have listened a moment to
the temptation to make love to this
heiress. When a youngster wishes to
do the right thing In such a case he Is
apt to beat the devil about the stump
by showing his heart to the girl In
some covert way. I oeat the devil
around the stump not only as a salve
to my conscience, but because I was
not afforded au opportunity to make
love openly. Besides, 1 bad no reason
to suppose that the young lady would
respond, and to think of receiving a
snub from her for proffered love quite
took my breath away. Frudeneo dic
tated a plan that was noncommittal.
I never saw Dona Ysabel alone, but
I passed many evenings at the house
in company with the family. One even
ing I took a dictionary from the library
on pretense of looking for the Spanish
for a word I wished to use. Don Jose
was In the room with others, and Dona
Ysabel was looking over my shoulder.
There Is a story that a courtier who
aspired to the favor of Queen Eliza
beth of England wrote his aspiration
and his fears on a wludow pane with
a diamond and received his reply In
the same way. The message and re
ply constitute a rhyme and are famil
iar to most people who have received
a finished education. Whether Dona
Ysabel had ever met with them I did
not know. While turning over the
leaves of the dictionary 1 stopped and
held my thumb for awhile on the
word "fain." Then, carelessly turning
over the leaves, I suffered it to remain
on the word "would." In this way
I Indicated the line:
Fain would I climb, but fear to fall.
I had reached the word "climb" and
was looking for "but" when Dona
Ysabel walked away from me. I In
ferred that she had not seen through
my device, for If she had a natural
feminlue curiosity would have led her
:o remain where she was till 1 had
finished. Replacing the dictionary In
the library, 1 began a conversation
with her father about the location of
the railroad through his hacienda, a
subject In which he was interested.
The next morning 1 arose and break
fasted, aB was my custom, loug before
the family were downstairs and was
going to my work when, passing
through the library, 1 was surprised
to see the dictionary lying open on a
table. Going to it, my eye rested on
the pages before me. which included
words beginning with the letter "I."
Under the word "If" I noticed a light
pencil mark.
My heart Jumped. "If" was the be
ginning of Queen Elizabeth's reply to
the aspiring courtier. Rapidly turning
over the leaves to words beginning
with "If" I looked for "you." There
was a pencil mark under it. "Are"
was the next word in the queen's reply,
and this, too, I found underscored. I
had seeu all I required to convince me
that I not only had a reply to my mes
sage, but the reply I desired. It was
this:
ir you're arrant, cumD noi ai i?,
completing tlio famous rhyme:
Fuln would I climb, but fear to fall.
If you're afraid, climb not at all.
It was so well known to Dona Ysabel
that she did not need to see It com
pleted after the word "climb."
On the surface, from this time till I
had finished iny work, Dona Ysabel
and I wero merely acquaintances. We
did not even use the dictionary or any
other means of communication, but
the night before I was to take my de
parture, again making a pretext of
finding a word. 1 withdrew tho volume
from the library aud began a hunt
Ysabel stood over me, and I pointed
to the following words:
Tho way la dark. The road I fall to tee.
As soon as I had completed my mes
sage Ysabel left me and, taking up
some embroidery, devoted herself to It.
But I watched her and saw that she
was in deep thought. After awhile she
laid aside her work and, turning to the
dictionary that lay on the table, began
to turn over the leaves. I went and
stood over her. She pointed out tho
following reply:
Mako your demand and leavo the rest,
to me.
After the family had retired for the
night and 1 was having a few final
words with Dou Jose about the section,
of the railroad I had located I sud
denly astonished him by asking for
his daughter's hand. It was not only
my impudence that startled him, but
wonder that 1 should have made such
a demand without something of a
courtship as Is customary In the United.
States. Before he could make any re
ply I said that, of course, he and hi*
daughter would together agree upon a
reply which could be sent me and made
iny exit as rapidly as I could without
appearing precipitate.
It was not till six mouths after my
request that I received a note from
Don Jose, stating that his daughter**
will had been too strong for him and
her wishes were paramount with him.

Boils Formed as Big as Walnuts
?In Frightful Condition and Could

WHOLLY CURED IN 8
MONTHS BY CUTICURA
"I had an itching, tormenting eczema
ever since I came into the world, and I
am now a man fifty-five years old. I
tried all kinds of medicines I heard of,
but found no relief. I was truly in a
frightful condition. At last my blood
was ho l?ad that I broke out all over
with red and white boils, which kept
growing until they were as big as wal
nuts, causing great pain and misery. I
thought they would take the skin off
my wlwlo body, but I kept from scratch
ing as weU as 1 could. 1 was so run
down that I could hardly do my work.
Mr. Nelson R. Burnett recommended
the use of Cuticura Remedies, telling
me he was confident they would benefit
and, in time, cure me. I used the Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment, Resolvent, and
Pills for about eight months, and I can
truthfully say I am cured. I cordially
ivcommend Cuticura Remedies to all
who are afflicted the same as I was, be
lieving that, if they will use them
according to directions, they will find
them all they are represented to be.
Any one doubting the truth of the above
can write to Mr. Burnett, who will cheer
fully vouch for my statements.
