IN THE PRIDE OF YOUTH.

IN THE PRIDE OF YOUTH.
When was telling you of the joke that
the Worm played off on the senior sub
altern promised somewhat similar tale,
but with all the jest left out. This is that
tale.
Dicky HIATT was kidnapped in his early,
early youth-neither by landlady's daugh-
ter, housemaid, barmaid, nor cook, but by
girl SO nearly of his own caste that only
woman could have said she was just the
least little bit in the world below it. This
happened a month before he came out to
India, and five days after his one-and-twen-
tieth birthday. The girl was nineteen-six
years older than Dicky in the things of this
world, that is to say-and, for the time,
twice as foolish as he.
Excepting always falling off a horse
there is nothing more fatally easy than
marriage before the registrar. The cere-
mony costs less than fifty shillings, and is
remarkably like walking into pawn shop.
After the declarations of residence have
been put in four minutes will cover the
rest of the proceedings-fees, attestation
and all. Then the registrar slides the blot
ting pad over the names, and says grimly
With his pen between ms teeth: NOW
