Polltz was one of those who was at- tracted. He used to carry her packages for her. The girl acoepted his atten- tions without feellng—he was a Greek, and therefore ought, she felt, to carry her bundles. Love never entered her mind, SHE WAS SHOCKED BY HIS LOVE MAKING. Finally Politz went to board a year andahalf ago with the De Marios that he might be near Josephine. He did not ‘apeak to her of love until recently. Then he began paying marked attentions to the girl He fook her to the moving picture shows and qwice Re took her to Coney. Then he poured hia fervent love into her ei She was shocked.
