It was stupid work and had in it little of the romance which he had always associated with the work he was to do. However, he comforted himself with the thought that if it were not necessary, the Chief would never set him at it.,"If I was, how could I ask you to marry me?" returns he, in a tone so hurt that she grows abashed.,Next it was the telegraph operator, Mr. Nilsen. “Well, I must say!
