Presently there was a slight stir amid
the soft Coverings Of the cradle. One
tiny foot asserted its presence, a little

that child. Come and spoil me like

But Not in the Conventional Way Ie
Always Does in the Story Books.
There came that unaccountable lull

that all hostesses dread, but it gave
the gushing girl her opportunity.
'Ah, colonel" she said, "Im sure
that you've had many thrilling adven-
lures, wonderful escapes from death,
just like the heroes in the novels"
WELL admitted the colonel, i've
had some pretty close calls
eyes, yes. Was your life ever saved
by a cherished Bible, a watch or a
pack of cards that stayed the course
of the bullet?"
''Not exactly that" protested the
victim, blushing; "but femme see, my
life was once saved by my watch. See,
here it is"
"But," went on the fair inquisitor,
gIancing at the timepiece, 81 see no
trace of a bullet on it. How did it
