Toppingtou, of Itoston-the only Mollle
I ever really loved.
I wrote to Mollie the first thing, the
next morning a cheerful a letter as I
ould under the circumstances, for I
knew the dear girl missed me terribly,
and I would have given a good deal for
gbt of her. Then I started out to
attend to my business. When evening
jme 1 was bluer and lonelier than
ver. (i!i, for live minute talk with
my Mollie: Mas ever a lover so un
happily placed'; I walked lllllilessly
up Fifth avenue, hoping to ilnd some ill-

dinner and the working people return

my heart gave a great thump ami I

Mollle. but Mollle Forsytlie, of New-
York. She seemed very glad to see
me. though, and in an instant the same
shameful thing had happened again
I had forgotten Mollie Toppingtou. of
Itostou, In the presence of Mollie For
sytlie. Oh, the pity of It'.
In a few- short minutes 1 had spoken
words which I would have given half
of my life to recall. A we walked
slowly toward the Cnskells I told Mol
lie Forsytlie that I loved her-tliat it
was n case of love at first sight, and
that I could not live without her that
she must promise to be mine some day;
to try to learn to care for me then If
she could not now. When a fellow

that did not carry weight. Hut never
one word did I say of Mollle Topping-1

prised to tind the main entrance so
small. It can admit but one at a
time, and that one must stoop to enter.
From the masonry It can be seen that
the entrance was ome much larger.
The reason for the change wa that the
Mohammedans ut one time did all lu
their power to injure and annoy the
Christians, and even used to ride on
horseback Into the very church. The
door, therefore, was made small to
protect the church from this sacrilege.
Once Inside, vve see we are in a very
undent structure. Fart of the mason
ry dates from the time of Constantino,
who built a lllllgllllleellt basilica ou this
site, about ihe year .".'lu of our era. All
w e can see of the oldest work, however,
probably dates from not later than
.It, stimuli's time, about .V0 A. It. In
any case, the church Is n venerable
building, nnd it ha witnessed some
