He asked me to sit while he told me. ‘“You see, it’s like this,’ he began. H had a girl that I loved, and we was goin’ to git married. She had her things made up, and as we was all but ready she was taken ill and died. And what I wanted was a picture of me sittin’ on her grave weepin’.’ “I was touched at the homely story of grief and told him I could send a man with him to the grave and have the picture taken as he desired.

“ ‘lt’s some distance,’ he said. ‘lt’s over in Ireland. I expect it ’nd cost a lot to send over your traps for what I want?’ “I said it would. ‘“I thought,’ he answered, ‘that mebbe you could rig up a grave here in your shop, and I would weep on it, and it would do just aa well. It’s no trouble for me to weep anywhere.’ ” No Heroics. She (eagerly)—And what did papa say when you asked him for me ? He—Consented at once. She—Glorious I He—Oh, I don’t know.
