Stories ‘with Smiles — enary Lover—‘‘Sir,’’ said the wig ain with much respect, “T know that you are a millionaire, and that Iam It seems presumptuous in me to as- pire to the hand of your daughter. But I have thought the matter out, and with some difidence I have resolved to make my re- quest. Love, sir, is not bound by sordid Qnsiderations or by mere social conven- ience.
