Couldn’t Lose Him.

“Darling,” queried the young man, at he seated himself beside the little bunch of blondined loveliness on the parlor sofa, “is it true that your father has lost every dollar he had in the world?” “Yeth, Tbaminy, dear,” lisped the fair damsel, as little red-hot tears began to bubble in the corners'of her indigo blue eyes, “yeth, it ith only too true, I am thorry to thay—thorry for your thake, and thorry for my own thake atli well —for I realithe that thith that blow mutht cauthe uth to theparatp forever.” Did Sammy extend the icy digit then and there? Not so, gentle reader, not so. Kindly gaze on the next kinetoscope picture and you will see her tightly clasped in his arms, while his mustache is immersed in her tear-bathed complexion. Sammy was no quitter. He knew that he could work hard between meals and earn money enoHgh to buy all the wealth they needed in their business —and hy also knew that tongue-tied females were scarce, and he couldn’t afford to take any chances.
