A Test of Love.

This tale is told in the orient: A lady one day found a man following her, and asked him why he did so. He reply was, “You are very beautiful, and I am in love with you.” “Oh. you think me beautiful, do.you? There is my sister over there. You will find her more beautiful that I am. Go and make love to her.” On hearing this the man went to see the sister, but found she was very ugly, so he came back in an angry mood and asked the lady why she had told a falsehood. She then answered, “Why did you tell me a falsehood ?” The man was surprised at this accusation and asked when he had done so. Her answer was, “You said you loved me. If that had been true, /on would not have gone to make love to another woman.” —San Francisco Argonaut.
