She clutched the precious missive with an eager hand, tremblingly opened it, and read : Dear Wife : Send me a pockethaudkercliief. John. She went slowly to the drawer to get the desired article, and, while looking for it she came across the following note, dated two weeks after tlie wedding : Sunlight of my Roitt, : You will have to send me a handkerchief. Your bewitching eves bo turned - my head this morning that I forgot to take one with me, for which I shall kiss the sweet face of my own a thousand times when I come home.

She sighed, gave the boy the handkerchief, and sighed again. —Danburg News.
