It seemed that two very rich familya
was tryio very hard b> nnke a match
between a VCIas-Naucy sort of a son on

a daughter on the other; but neither of
the young ones seemed to havn sense
eiiufr to ktiow how to go ubont It. The
old peeplv gin Vra alt the chanco they

think more of hit sorrel-colored whis

no grate objections to Uie arrange

how to rto all the oourtln. The old peep!*
managed to keep 'em together pretty
well all day. only wlieu tho young
spark went down now and I ben to get
a Jewllp; and. In the rveiling the felier’a
daddy made him go and aing to hoi;
but sleh atngm I never heard before—
half a owvr of It was onufl lo kill any
