All For Love.

It was a runaway match. The young couple had nothing to lire on but love, and they grew thin on It, for the butcher, baker, etc., heartlessly refused to barter any of the necessaries of life for a bit of love, and the landlady wouldn’t accept even a large slice of It for rent. At last they were reduced to such extremities that starvation stared them In the face. When starvation does this, It, so to say, “puts you out of countenance.” “Oh, George,” walled the young wife, “what shall we do? I am'so hungry!” “Alas, I know not, darling!” he sighed fondly but sadly, toying with her luxuriant tresses. “But I know, George!” she suddenly exclaimed after a pause. “Sell my hair I” “What!” he almost shouted, with a horror stricken face. “Sacrifice your lovely golden locks! Ruthlessly cut oil the greatest ornament a woman can possess? Never! Never! I will starve first!” ’ “But, Gedrge,” she assured him, “It does not require cutting off. Seel” And she detached the glistening S guinea switch from her head ..ad laid It In his hand. That night the young couple sopped luxuriously, but still be was not happy. —Pearson’s Weekly. i
