Suddenly, "Did you have pleasant jour
ney ? !" want off my wife like a pistol, and
Jack nearly jumped TO his feet.
ssRather dusty," was the response, in
war-whoop, and so the conversation contin-
ued.
The neighbors for blocks around must
have heard it. When | was in the third
story of the house heard every word dis
tinctly.
In the course of the evening my aunt took
occasion TO say TO me
How loud Anna speaks Don't it hurt
her -
told her all deaf persons talked loudly,
and that my wife, being used to it, was
not much affected by the exertion, and that
Aunt Mary was getting along very nicely
with her.
Presently my wife said, softly
Alfred, how very loudly your aunt Mary
talks"
EYES," said |, ''all deaf persons do. You
are getting along with her finely she hears
every word you say" And | rather think
she did.
Elated at their success in being under
stood, they went at II hammer and tongs till
everything on the mantlepiece clattered
again, and was very seriously afraid of
crowd collecting In front OF the house. But
the end was near.
Ny aunt being of an investigating turn of
mind, was DESTROYS Of finding out whether
the exertlon of talking SO loud was not in
curious to my wife. So
"Doesn't talking so loud strain your
lungs ~ said she, III an unearthly whoop, for
her voice was net quite as musical as it was
when she was young.
( II - II. n. /.
my wife.
Then why do YOU DO it? ~ was the ans
wering scream.
: because hecause--you can't hear if
DON'T" squealed my wife.
s'What 20 said my aunt, fairly riyaling q
railroad whistle this time.
| began to think it time to evacuate the
premises, and looking around and seeing
that Jack had disappeared, | stepped into
the back parlor, and there he lay, fat on his
back, his feet ut right angles with his
body, rolling from side to side, with his
face poked into his ribs. and a most ag-
onlzing expression of countenance, but not
uttering a sound. | Immediately and in
voluntarily assumed a similar position, and
| think that from the relative position of our
feet and heads, and our violent efforts TO re-
STRAIN our laughter, appoplegy must have
inevitably ensued, if horrible groan, which
Jack gave vent to in his endeavor to sup
press his visibility, had not betrayed our
| hiding place.
Inrushed my wife and aunt, who, by this
time comprehended the joke, and such a
scolding then got never got before, and
hope never to ret again.
know not what the end may have been
if Jack T, Ia his endeayors TO appear
| respectful and sympathetic, had not given
way to such groan and horse laugh that
all gravity was upset, and we screamed out
| IN concert.
| know IT was very wrong, and all that,
| for me to tell such falshoods, but | think
that Mrs. 0pie herself would have laughed
| if she had seen Aunt Mary's expression when
she was informed that her hearing was de-
| fective.
