BOTH PLEASED AT MEETING

Dejected Malden and Her Culler Alike In Rejoicing at Settlement of Difficulties. Dejectedly reclining on a couch, a tear splashing stealthily down her cheek, the gentle Jane was sorrowfully thinking of the past. She had one of those back-action brains, you understand, eh, what? With hair the color of the raven’s wing—eyes of midnight blue —cheeks of white and rose —teeth of pearl—ah, she was a specimen of flawless perfection! The kings of the earth had wooed her, but all —all had been spurned with sweet contempt. Even the Jacks had failed. She was very miserable, for the night before she had quarreled with her own, her proud and haughty Paul. Would he call tonight? Would he, Oh, would he? A step is heard —a ring is rung—a voice is speaking. Ah, yes. It is he! A sigh of relief escaped her as she turned down the light. The visitor enters. With her eyes dimmed, she bounded forward and murmured softly: “Oh, darling. I’m so glad you came, as I want you to settle our differences,” and she sighed contentedly on his shoulder. “Well, I'm very glad to hear you’re going to settle that bill,” replied the man, disengaging himßolf coldly—freezingly. . ’Twas the iceman.
