Every evening, when his work was done, Max went to see his loved Marie, and like with all true lovers, no evening was a happy one to them if they were not to- gether. “Two years slipped by in this happy » » way, and people hinted that Max Arm- ster was gong to take his ‘ornament.’ Ard before long, the people knew almost to the day when he intended do- was not natura’ that so happy a uzion should take place.
