Dinper came and was dispatched with q
relish. ,lcome and his bride took stroll
over the city, seeing the lions and other
sights until supper time, which being over
they retired to their room. The gns was
lit up by the servant, who received bright
quarter FOR his services Jeems was the
last In bed, and according TO the rule In
sech cases, had 10 put out the light, which
he did with blast from his lunge.
The noise In the street had died away
and quiet reigned In the Swami House. The
young man on the watch dosed in his chair
The Clerk Gather corpulent) was about 10
retire, when he thought he smelt gas. Some
one came down stairs and said he smelt gas.
The guests (some Of them) woke up and
smelt gas Much against his will, the Clerk
proceeded 10 hnd whore the leak was. II
seemed stronger In the neighborhood Of the
rooa occupied by the bride and groom. =
Clerk concluded 10 knock at the door Of
their room.
"Whs's there, came fsca inside.
"Open the door; the gas is escaping"
Gas what gas 2 said JeemI, opening
tho door
"why, here in this room, How did you
put your light out p
"Blowed it out, OF course"
'cYou played hi" Our amiable clerk
came very near saying bad word, but re-
membering that there was a lady in the
case or rather in tho bed, he checked his
rising temper, and having lit the gas, pro-
ceeded 10 show Joems the mystery Of its
burning as follows:
"You see this little thing here2 well, wher
you want TO pus IL out, you give il n turn
this way, and when you want TO make /
lighter you give IL a turn this way. Seriout
consequences might have resulted II u had
not been discovered Now be careful nex
time"
"Much obliged. Bat how the devil did
know the burned stuff was scaping 2 re-
sponded Jeems.
Didn't you smell Il T. asked the clerk.
"Peare to me did smell, says Jeems
aBut Lize Ill be burned ef didn't thinl
II was you, kase never slept with woman
afore."
swell, Jeems, thought II was you tina
smelt that way oil the time was jes
wunderin efall neu smelt that way i
peared strange, but then didn't know moth
in about IL !" was the response Of Lize, ss sh'
turned over for nap
The red in our clerks face grew smilingly
redder as IL reflected the light from thu
burning jet and roguish twinkle lurket
ia the corner Of his eyes, US he turned OF
the gas aud all was dark, and our friend
were left alone in their glory. A sound Q
suppressed mirth was heard in the reading
room for few minutes and then all wa
still.
