Hospitality That Might Have Seriously
Interfered with Matrimonial Hopes.
The three Of us, says NJ. Quad in the De-
troit Free Press, had been tramping over
the battle field of Malvern Hill all day long,
and as night came on there was every evil
dence of a steady, soaking rainstorm. We
had to get shelter right away, and we found
1t in small farmhouse owned by widow.
She was willing enough to furnishus supper,
but when 1t came to lodgings she seemed
greatly embarrassed.
"You see," she said, ''my house is very
small. Indeed, have only this room with
bedroom off,"
"But can't we sleep in the barns" asked
the colonel"
~ have no barn."
"But you can go TO bed and let us sleep
on the floor in this room, can't youp'
"Y-e-s, but--but-"
"oh, you needn't have any fear OF us,
madam protested the colonel.
SIT isn't that, sir, but"
She blushed like rose, but none of us
could understand until she said;

"No, sir; and don't want to turn you

and 1t won't do to offend William. This Is

"Oh, no, sir. William and always spark

We did. After supper we locked our
selves into the bedroom, and, taking the
pillows from the bed, We lay down on the
floor and slept like bricks until called to
breakfast. When we went out the colonel
asked:
"Well, did William show upe"
