"Take heed, De Wolf Ho-ardusl I may yet put your love to ihe test.:" So exclaimed the ontrancingly beautiful Henrietta Allbright as she drew hei queenly form to its full height and fa tenod her rapturous coal black eyes on his beaming face.

For the 400th time in four minutes the young man had been asking her if he could not jump over a precipice, thuw out a stick of dynamite, ask a New York policeman a civil question or prove his love at the risk of his life in some other way "Aye: I will tost your love!" she con tinned a her ruby lips slightly parted to reveal the pearly tooth behind. We cannot describe her llnely molded neck, her shapely shoulders, her dimpled elbows, her form so absolutely and teototally perfect. "I am ready and willing!" So replied Do Wolf Hogardus in his deep bass voice, which always reminded one of thunderous billows breaking over rocks in a storm Wo cannot dwell upon his chiv alry, his knightly bearing, his manly and graceful carriage. Suffice it to say that he was head clerk in a creamery and far sweeter I ban most of the milk he sold over the counter The ormiilu clock on the mantel ticked 17 times.

It is the morning after. The impatient De Wolf planks down the hard cash for three morning paMTs and hies himself to Ihe Allbright mansion. It would be selfish In him to even glanre at the notices before the sloelike eyes of Henrietta had perused Ihe linos. The hour is early, hut she awaits hi coming.

At Greenville they pointed out an old negro who had left a can of bakiny powder on a stump o itside his cabin for a week to see if it would explode.
