GAVE HIM A FRIGHT.
Bat When the Explanation Came
Henry Found Ont Thing) Were
Not So Bad.
He was a constant visitor. He favor
ably impressed her sisters and mother
by his dignified behavior and sensible
conversation. He would probably have
had the same gratifying effect upon ner
father, but as the latter was completely
immersed in business he was at home
very little of the time. The young man
had a dim recollection of being intro
duced to him once and speaking a word
or so, but since that time had not seen
him at all. However, this didn’t bother
him much, and his love affair came to a
focus rapidly, says London Tit-Bits,
When he asked the young lady to be
come his wife she referred him to her
father.
“I’ll see him to-morrow, dear,” he re
plied.
“No, I don’t think you can,” she an
swered; “he’s going out of town on a
long business trip to-morrow evening,
and so will not be here when you come.”
“By Jove, then,” responded the young
man, “I’ll drop in on him at the office.”
The next day he turned up at the place
of business of his idol’s father. He
knew he was head of the concern. He
made his way into the office and there
confronted a very busy gentleman in
deed. Asking for a moment of the lat
ter’s time, he said:
“I have come to ask you for your
daughter’s hand.”
The man addressed stopped, turned
round and looked at him a moment, and
then said:
“I’m sorry to tell you, young man, but
my daughter is to be married to-mor- J
row.”
Without waiting for an explanation j
the horror-stricken suitor rushed from
the building. He hailed a cab and drove
madly to the young lady’s home.
“What—what does iT all mean?” he
gasped, as soon as he saw her. “Speak! I
What does it mean? I have just seen
your father at his office, and he says that
you are to be married to-morrow.”
“Why, Henry," she ejaculated, in a
tone of astonishment, "my father?
Why, he left for the north last night.”
A little further conversation revealed
the fact that Henry had been speaking
to her father’s partner.

Nothing But Knvy.
Chicago insists that, typhoid germs
cannot live during the 250-mile trip
to St. Louis in the drainage canal, but
we know, remarks the St. Louis Re

swim the Atlantic ocean, land in Eu
rope and organize a germ trust which
would greatly increase the to
