Well, of course we know it wasn't. But
then | DO wonder who it was intended
for 4! And / wonder if you don't know
something more about it than you see
fit to tell ~
Me, motherl"
I" Yes, me, mother, you was mighty
anxious to get me an pap off to Aunt
Ruth's tonight; but noticed You was
slicked up extraordinary for all you
weren't gong.
Here Annie lost her needle, and went
down on tae floor to find it.
"Now, Annie" her mother went on,
+" I'm gettin' old know that, but /
haven't quite lost my eyesight yet, nor
my hearin' neither. I've surmised a
little somethin about these COINS on
between YOU an David afore now.
What ar you u playin' possum fur
Out with II, say. 'Taint fair to be
tryin' to come it over your old mother. :"
Thus adiured, our small feminine
Machiaval made clean breast of it,
much relieved to find that mother
"hadn't nuthin' agin him, " and "would
give father a talkin to about it an
bring him around. +"
But, ANNIE. said 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 APP
prove of promiskus kissin'!"
David never heard the last of that
kiss in the dark Old Squire Moore,
of course, heard it, and used to take
great delight in slyly abiding to the
circumstance when all the parties con-
cerned happened to be present. He
would shake his burly sides with laugh
ter at David's evident discontinue and
his wifes tart replies, while ANNE
would side with her father and poke
sly fun al 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
lover, "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. ]
