LOVE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY

Liver and Onions, or a Struggle Between Love and Appetite—Letter Was Written First.

That night, 600 miles from home, in the dining room of the Travelers’ Retreat, Hlgginson Bukettshop battled long and bravely with his appetite. He hadn’t written Clarabelle the daily letter yet, and all the hotel offered for supper was liver and onions, onions and liver, and liver as well as onions.

“What shall I do?” moaned the unhappy man. “I am famished, yet how can I send Clarabelle my usual kiss at the end of the letter after eating those onions? She will be sure to detect them —she is so sensitive —and then the engagement will be off.”

Meanwhile the waiter was standing patiently at his elbow, remarking, “De liverii onions is very good, sah. De onions’n liver is right toler’ble, sah.” “Hang it all, was ever man in such a fix!” cried Higginson Bukettshop. “Love or liver? Onions or Clarabelle?” Suddenly his handsome face lit up. “Liver and onions!” he ordered. “By suspenders, I’ll send the letter before I eat!”

And, though the letter was unusually impassioned, he had finished writing it. kiss and all, before the liver and onions arrived. —Detroit Free Press.
