"Well," ho said to tho lady, "I didn't much bellovo you'd liavo mo, but I thought I'd try." After nwhllo ho "tried" ngnln, with tht. samo result, nnd thou remarked with his cele brated drawh "1 think n great deal mora of you than If you'd said 'Yes, but It's hard to licar." A third tlmo ho met with letter fortune, nud then enmo to tho most dllllcull part of his task, to address tho old man.

"Weill Look sharp and you will," said tho author of "Innocents Abroad," and that's tho way he asked tho judicial luminary for his daughter's hand. Mark has n child who inherits somo of her father's brightness. iSho kept 11 diary at one time, iu which she noted tho occurrences iu tho family, and, among other things, tho say ings of her parents. On ono page sho wroto that father sometimes used strougor words when mother wasn't by nud ho thought "wo' didn't hear. Mrs. Clomvns found tho dlnry and showed It to her husliaud, probably thinking tho particular pago worth his notice. After this Clomeus did uud said sev eral things that wero intended to attract tho child's uttentlou, and found them duly noted afterward. But one day tho following entry occurred t "I don't thi.ik I'll put down anything moro nbout father, for I think ho docs things to havo mo notice him, and I bellovo he reads this diary." 8I10 was Mark's own child.
