Why George Blushed.

A business man has a daughter and also a confidential clerk, and the confidential clerk has for some time, been attentive to the daughter, but he has not—or had not a month ago—sufficient courage to come to the point, though the young woman, goodness knows, has never done anything to scare him off, for he is a first class fellow In every respect. The other evening he was making a call, and about 9 o’clock her father came in. “Ah, George,” he said, “how about that deal we were talking abont this afternoon? Did yon see the party?” "Yes, sir,” relied George, “and I expected to see you this evening and tell you about it” “My dear,” said the father, turning to his daughter, “will you retire for a few minutes? George wants to speak business for awhile.” The daughter rose up, but hesitated. "Why do I have to go?” she asked doubtfully. "Because, dear,” smiled the father, "you are not interested. Why do you want to stay?” She blushed and fidgeted. , i “Because, papa,” she twittered, “I’d rather like to hear George talk business just once.” „ Then George got red, and the fatb« looked at them both significantly, and the girl fled.—St Louis Post-Dispatch.
