A PICTURE.

seemed, and life in vain,
^ A ^\ly -,at bright friendly smile has sent me
Pistes to my task again.

After that Kitty played the piano, and the
afternoon was passed in the usual fashion
of lovers. Before the hour for parting
, had , come J. _ Angelo . , made , up .... his mind
that the time for him to speak had ar
rived. It is useless to go into the details
; of the proposal. It was done in the usual
noveletic way. She looked modestly
downward, her beautiful brown eyelashes
shading her lustrous orbs. Her heart
beat wildly, and a modest flush spread its
mantle over her handsome cheeks. His
right arm sought her waist, and, after
two or three struggles with a lump in his
throat, he made ’ w l th /“'V™’ 5 accents,
his declaration. A , dead silence followed.
Slowly site raised her eves to meet his.
and in another moment the little word
“yes” would have brightened hie whole
furure, but for some unexplained reason,
probably the wild beating of his heart,
there sounded through the room a sharp
“click.” The spring of that camera had
let go. In an instant her face was trans¬
formed.
“Monster,” she shrieked, twisting her¬
self from his embrace. “Villain! Pre¬
tending to love me only to photograph me
in the act of accepting you. Wretch!
How could you be so cruel. Gaining my
affections only to promote your art.”
And then sobbing as if her heart would
break she rushed from the room. J.
Angelo Smith endeavored to detain her
and explain; but it was useless. And he
was forced to quit the house rejected,
scorned, hated. To reach his lonely gar¬
ret was the work of fully half an hour, for
he hadn’t a nickel to pay his street car
fare. His first impulse was to dance sev¬
eral hornpipes on the mangled remains of
his camera, but on second sober thought
he developed the picture. A few months
afterward he saw the notice of the mar¬
riage of Kitty with the son of a wealthy
manufacturer of musical instruments.
She had thrown herself away on a mil¬
lionaire.—Detroit Free Press.

Boy—Oh, mamma, I upset the salt cel

Mamma— That was careless; go and
brush the salt off, and see you don’t soil
the clothes.
, Boy—But, mamma, when any one spills
a quarrel, don’t they?
Mammti—So they say.
Boy—Well, then, if they don’t spill the
salt, they don’t have a quarrel, isn’t that
SO?
Mamma—Yes, that is so. But why do
you ask?
Boy—Well, because, naaranaa, it wasn’t

When I returned this fall they had all be¬

them. My client had been locating desert
