In a pasture. I hardly noticed him,
for I was trying ty frame a proper pro-
posal. Just then an automobile load
of our acquaintances sped along the
highway a short distance from us, and
knowing they must have noticed my
endearing manner toward my compan-

I managed to blurt out a proposnl of

standing there so dejectedly, suddenly
woke up enough to lift his head and

To cap the climax, the giri also gave
