ROGERS. “I hope you will answer at once and decide the matter.” That was the closing paragraph of 8 letter handed over to Miss Nellle by her brother Ben one rainy day as he returned from the village postoffice, three miles away. The letter was signed “Harry " Did Harry wish to buy a plece of real estate from Miss Nellie? Had he made a cash offer for her pony? Was it a matter of stocks bonds? What was she to decide at once and answer? What was the momentous question that had been hanging fire until he had become impatient at the delay? All kinds of things might be guessed as the answer but they might all be wrong. All men do not make love alike.

He saw and admired Miss Nellle and resolved to win her for a wite, No, all men don’t make love alike. Harry Weston made love according to the department store plan as nearly as he could.
