After the usual supply of fuel was prepared, Jim returned home. Full of pity for Mag, he set about devising measures for her relief. "By golly!" said he to himself one day for he had become so absorbed in Mag's interest that he had fallen into a habit of musing aloud "By golly! I wish she'd MARRY me."

Margaret took the ring put it on her own finger and thanked "Little Mag" for it.
Almost was she pretty now, with the unique luminosity in her eyes that comes to a girl with her first suitor and a kitten with its first mouse. "Maggie Toole's got a fellow at last," was the word that went round among the paper-box girls. "Pipe Mag's floor-walker" thus the Give and Takes expressed their indifferent contempt.
Lou and the officers!" cried cash girl Number 83. "They are almost carrying her down the stairs! I wouldn't be in her shoes for a thousand dollars."
