HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

1t is rather a slouchy trick for a.
fellow to give away a colleague and
brother officer, yet that is what a.
dashing young officer of the Sixteenth
did in the rotunda of the Knutsford
last evening before quite gathering Of
travellers, poolists and Mr.. Corridor.
He began: Some days ago 1 started
from Main street to catch the IL O'Clock

The two pulled up in front of Trun-
/ bo'S candy store, and l walked slowly
to await developments.
THE girl jumped out and went to
the door. and l could see her very dis
tinctly under the light She had a
whole flower garden besides the tail
feathers of three or four fiamingos and
a couple of paroquettes on her hat; her
cheeks were redder than those of the
average maiden; she wore a light dress
with an officers cape over her should
! ers and was chewing gum for her life.
THE man, whose figure looked very
familiar, jumped out, and began to
tie the nag. His cap was drawn down,
and the collar of his big army over
coat was turned up, almost reaching
the cap. He looked from right to left
but no one was in sight and so he
tied another knot to make sure, but
had not finished before his lady friend
in the doorway yelled, Gawd Lieu
tenant, I'm hungry; get move and
his buttons came across the sidewalk
just in time to run into me. Good
evening, Lieutenant said l.
