' AN OLD MAID'S QUEST.
Raw fthafttartaAOntto Hunt a Huahaart,
snd Surct-eilf it. (
'fiom years ago, after 1 bad worked up
a Case in a town in Ohio, a woman called
at the hotel one day and asked to see
mo. I found her to bo a Nplnster, about
fifty yer old; wearing the traditional
rinjfleU and vor:laiues, and as 'stiff as
a crow bar in lier demeanor. Hbb, too,
had an briglttal way of arriving at the
polnt:ji;Aftor;j introducing herself jalie

After a little talk we arrived at figures

of thrft' tlmn I reported for duty, and'
' found Jtnr ready to start She had
two fulr-sixed trunks for bnggage, and
s'bo -dlweted- me to buy tickets to New
York. fr didn't say how much money
e bad, bow long sbo was going te-Htay,
or give mo any other particulars.;; I
oheyed directions, and In due time we
arrived in Gotham and put up at a first
cjas hotel. I acted us her guide and
c'xcort, fmt such was our, demeanot to;
iaVd iach other that no on 9 could )ive

to arjrue that if she dropped formality
for a moment 1 might propone marriage,
and it was "sir" on every possible occa
sion." ' ' - i ' " ' t . . t
"J She settled the hotel bill herself,, but
gave me money t'j buy tickets' to Boston
after a stay of twenty days. We were
in Boston a fortnight and then went to
Hartford, and there got the first Inkling
of her idea In making the trip. She.
sent Jor me to come to the ladies' pur
ler; and when I arrived she began.
