He Made Amends.

Colonel Gilbert Pierce, the late MtnWnr to Portugal, once picked up In his arms a young lady who stood hesitating at the corner of a street in an Indiana Tillage, unable to cross It, because a shower had filled .. with « rushing torrent of water. The young lady submitted without protest while the Colonel strode gallantly through the torrent until hs deposited his fair charge bn the opposite sidewalk, with dry feet. "Sir!" she then said, indignantly, “are you aware that you have insulted me?" **l was not aware of It,” replied the Colonel! "but, seeing that you are light, I beg to make amends.” So saying, he picked up the protesting damsel and reetored her to the point where he had first made her acquaintance. —Cleveland Leader.
