Christopher! how quick her back was up, and she gave me to understand that I was lookin' too high! 'Twas no go with Ada, and after awhile I proposed to the mother.
Then you ought to seen her! She didn't exactly turn me out o' door but she coolly told me I wasn't wanted there.

But I stuck to her and kept kind o' offerin' myself, till at last they cut stick and cleared out, and I couldn't find them, high nor low.

I bunted for more than a year, and at last found them in Hartford.

Thinkin' maybe they had come to I proposed again, and kept hangin' on till they gave me the slip again; and now I don't know where they be, but I guess they've changed their name." At this point the cars stopped until the upward train should pass them, and St.Leon, rising, bade his companion good evening, saying, "he had changed his mind and should return to Hartford on the other train.".
