A Bluffton romance: He had not known her long, but, as she stood in the moonlight, a white dress and a blue sash set off her figure so well that he thought he had never seen a prettier picture. And then he did an awful thing; he kissed her. The innocent girl shrank from him in horror, and the young man realized that ' he had Gone Too Far. Indeed, as the panting girl strove to collect herself < sufficiently to express the scorn surg- I ing in her bosom, the young man 1 thought of the beating he must en- 1 dure the next day from her father : and brothers, and of the long accounts 1 of the fight that would appear in the newspapers. Fortunately, he had his hat in his hand, and turned to go. But the girl struggled to speak; she would I express her contempt for his action though it killed her. "When,” she said, In a low, faltering voice, full of deep-seated hatred, “are you coming again?”—Bluffton Banner.
