TWO YOUNG LADIES IN A FIX.

! A ludcI Gus scene occurred within a
, thousand miles Of indianapolis, not great
while ago, at least not long enough to be
forgotten. We suppress names. aud give
the story as it was told by one of the In
dianapolis weekly newspapers. Two
young ladies We're visiting another young
lady, their cousin. The three were fond
of jokes, and continually playing them off
on each other. On the night in question,
two of them attended party, from which
they returned at 124 o'clock. The third
one remained at home, and to avoid dis
turbing her-for the three slept in the
same bed-and others in the house, they
entered through the window. Here diff
ficuIty occurred, caused by the fact that
after they had left home a young minister
arrived on visit. He was given the
room occupied by the young ladies, and
the one who had remained at home sat up
to inform the others that different apart
ments had been assigned to them. She wait
ed in the parlor for that purpose, but un-
luckily fell asleep, and as the two young
ladies did not come IN by the door, but
stepped into their own room by the win
dow, she slept on When the two others
entered they saw Fanny's figure, As they
supposed, in bed, but were puzzled also to
see by the bedside a pair of boots. The
truth flashed upon them both at once
They saw it all. Fanny had set the boots
In the room to give them good scare
They put their heads together and deter,
mined to turn the tables on her. Silently
they disrobed. and as stealithy as cats took
their positions on each side Of the bed
At given signal they both jumped into
the bed, one on each side of the unconsci-
Gus person, laughing and screaming, " Oh,
what mani" they gave the poor be-
wildered minister such promiscuous hug
ging and tousling as few persons are able
to brag of in the course of a lifetime.
The noise of this proceeding awoke the
old lady, who was sleeping in an adjoin-
ing room. She comprehended the stua-
ton in moment, and rushing to the
room, she opened the door and exclaimed:
" My Lord, gals, it is man; it is man,
sure enough!" There was one prolong-
ed, consolidated scream flash Of muslin
through the door, and all was over. The
best of the joke is that the minister took
the whole thing in earnest He would
listen to no apologies the old lady would
make for the girls. He would hear no ex-
cuSe, hut be soIemnly folded his clerical
robes, around him and took bis depart
