Inflexiole Mrs. Moore went on: II
don't believe that kiss was intended for
me, after all. Do you, Annie (? Well, of
course, we know it wasn't. But then / do
wonder wlo it was intended for? And
L wonder if you don't know something
more about it than you seem fit to tell ?"
Me, mother!"
Yes, me, mother, you was mighty anx-
ious to get me an pap off to Aunt Ruth's
tonight; but noticed you was slicked
up extraordinary for all you weren't GO
| ing
Here Annie lost her needle, and went
down on the floor to find it.
"Now, Annie" her mother went on,
''Tm gettin' old, know that, but | have
not quite lost my eyesight yet, nor my
hearin' neither. I've surmsed little
somethin' about these. COINS on between
you an David afore now. What ar' you a
playin' possum fur? Out with it, say.
'Taint fair to be tryn' to come it over
your old MOTHER
Thus adjured, our small feminine Ma
chiavel made clean breast of it, much
relieved TO find that mother "hadn't nuth-
ing agin him" and would give father
talkin to about it, an bring him round"
But, Annie" says Mrs. Moore dryly,
in conclusion, IL want you to tell David
I'd rather he'd not make such mistake as
that again. don't like the feel of his big
whiskers about my face. and moreover, |
don't approve of promiskus kissin'r
David never heard the last of that kiss
in the dark . Old Squire Moore, of course,
heard of it, and used to take great delight
in slyly alluding to the circumstance when
all the parties concerned happened to be
present. He would shake his burly sides
with laughter at Davids evident discom-
future and his wife's tart replies, while
Annie would side with her father and poke
sly fun at her sweetheart. and then both
OF them would laugh again at the other
two until the tears ran down their cheeks.
''Never mind, David" Mrs. Moore
would say consolingly to the abashed low
er, "let them laugh. He'd have been only
too glad to have been in your place thirty
years ago. He had hard work to get
kiss from me then. hope the occurrence
will be lesson to you an Annie agin the
un-policy of underhand doins' of all sorts,
seein' as how they're liable to end, in sch
cases, in kissin' the wrong one in the
dark. .'-Horard Gly,saoa.
