cheeky , " said the young man to the- old
fellow on the rear platform of the car , "but
what are you going to do In such a case ? "
"Yes , what are you going to do ? " queried
the old fellow In reply , though having no
knowledge of what was meant.
"I got up the courage to ask her hand In
marriage and she murmured yea. "
"They generally murmur. "
"Then , to be In good form , I hod to go and
ask the old man's consent. "
"Perfectly correct , young man perfectly
correct. "
"I took a bracer and walked In on him , "
continued the young man , "and In due tlmo
I had stated my case. He waited a decent
length ot time and then said I could have
her. "
"That was beautiful beautiful. "
"Yes , as far as It wertt. Yes , that was all
right , but I wasn't through with him yet ,
I had to ask him It he'd fend me $100 to get
married on. Wasn't no other way , you
Ictiow "
"No , no other way , " repeated the old fel
low , as bo got a new brace for hla back.
"And he loaned It to you ? "
"Noap. Threw mo down with a dull thud. "
"You don't say ! "
"Did for a fact. Yes , the whole thing is
off , and I've loved and lost. I don't see
where I'm to blame , though. "
"Not a bit of It. You loved and wanted
to marry ; but It takes money to get mar
ried on. He had It , but wouldn't lend U. No
money no marriage. Plain as the noaa on
your face , and you were not a bit to blame.
Put It thar , 'young mav , and cheer up and
