His One Brave Deed.

She was a hero worshiper. Often she would read history just to find some new hero to worship. Otherwise she would read such novels as "Beautiful Betsy, the Belle of the Brassworks; or. The Baronet’s Bride.” Of course this made her feel that she had married beneath her, for her husband bad not grown round shouldered from wearing heavy medals. Occasionally she would tell him that she wished he was a hero. Once the foolish man told her that he would be a hero if he had a chance. "You would?” she said lu tones ol incredulity. “Did you ever do anything In your life that looked like bravery or that seemed valorous in after years?” He thought of the day when they played Mendelssohn's "Wedding March” and he gave the minister $lO and she became his wife. But be didn't say anything about It For a true hero never talks about his glorious, daring deeds. So she never knew that her husband was a hero. Isn’t it a sad, sad story ?—Baltimore American.
