A Rest at Any Price.

A story is going the rounds on the South Side which makes a well-known society young man and a millionaire’s pretty daughter the principal characters in a ruther laughable comedy. The young mau, who is noted for his handsome bearing and winning voice, accompanied the young lady to her home on Friday evening, and, as all true lovers do, lingered yet a little while at the gate to have a lover’s tete-a-tete with his fair companion. The night was beautiful, no one near to intrude, and, above all, be loved. Why shouldn't ghe kiss him? With maidenly modesty she refused. He implored. She still withheld from him that which could fill his oup of happiness. The request was repeated several times, and so engrossed did the young man become in wooing that he failed to notice the approach of a parental - step. The old gentleman, who had been there himseit, and did not care to intrude

upon the happiness of the young couple, quietly stepped behind a convenient rosebush nnd waited, thinking the young man would soon leave. In this lie was mistaken. The lover tarried over the roquost until the patience of (he old gentleman was exhausted A voice the young couple well knew aroused them from their huppiness in a tone of impatient anger by saying: “ Alice, kiss the young idiot, and let him go home!”—[Chicago Inter-Ocean.
