THE FATAL KISS.

A True Story by D. Nj
A lassie, whose name was Brownie, Wen
Went out with a laddie a-coasting one
day.
The evening was clear, and the weather
was cold
And the heart of the laddie began to wax
bold.
I'm kiss her or die" he inwardly said,
mo matter what happens, right here on
this sled"
So when they went down to the foot Of
the hill,
And no one was looking, and everything
still
He, quick as flash, stole kiss from her
lips
Then stood gazing at her, his hands on
his hips.
Completely astounded, unable to speak
For moment or two 1t made her feel
weak
Then she rose to her feet while her eyes
flashed fire
For the act had kindled the lassie's ire.
How dare you do such thing, you
knave,
How dare you in any such way to be-
haven
=" Twas beastly shame, know" he re-
piled.
While he calmly drew the sled by his
side.
"But really you looked so charmingly
sweet
| couldn't resist, though it was indis-
Greet
She answered him not, but fastened
away
And she never has spoken to him from
that day.
So the poor fellows punishment for his
offense
Has atoned for it, though it were still
more immense.
Moral.
Boys, you mustn't kiss the girls without
their consent,
Or 1t may be with you as twas with this
young gent.
