A SPOILED ROMANCE.
Miss : - Harriet King, a romantic young American girl, recently placed her name and address in a bottle, which she sealed, and, while out fishing in a motor launch, threw into the sea (says the New "York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph). The girl asked that whoever found the bottle should communicate with her, and she admitted to her friends that "important things might happen." The bottle floated from New Yprk, and was finally found at Manteo, North Carolina, by a, septuagenarian married negro, with twelve children. The negro sent his portrait- to Miss King, and hinted that the present state of his finances alone prohibited him from coming to New York to make the acquaintance of "so lovable and charming a young lady."
