A Prank of Fate. qs that the bell? A note from Nell? I think, thongh, it was Isabel, Who said that she might send for me To join her on the links at three. But I dare say the note’s from May— We quarreled badly yesterday ‘Tis true, but yet, she ‘ feels regret, And will forgive if I'll forget.” I can foretell those missives well ; When Love's light fingers touch the bell, Some wire apart, by Cupid's art, Completes a circuit in my heart. But, yes, own I might have known ‘That thrill was Mabel’s right alone ; She's back in town—"‘Oh, Mrs. Brown, It's you—well, put your basket down.” Jennie Betts Hartewick. comicbooks.com
