And perhaps the happiest couple in all that happy, prosperous city, as well as the best-loved of her citizens, is the young manager of the Association, Mr. Richard Falkner, and his beautiful wife, Amy. But Dick will soon leave his present position to enter a field of wider usefulness at the National Capitol.
It hurts me here," and she laid her hand on her heart, "to think that thou shouldst suffer."
