His Amazed Daughter.

The wife of a Gordon Highlander received some time ago an invitation to visit him at the barracks in Scotland. She did so, taking with her their little six-year-old girl. When they arrived, as it happened, the husband was engaged on sentry d-ty, and so they could not approach him. The child eyed her “daddy” with a rather sorrowful but amazed express sion, as he paced up and down the square shouldering his rifle and wearIng a kilt She had never before beheld him thm arrayed, and for a few minutes the spectacle seemed to be quite beyond her; but for no longer could she keep silent. “Mamma,” she said, in a voice that betrayed a trace of childish covetousness, “if daddy finds the man what stole ’ees trousers, will he gimme dat little frock?”—Tit-Bits.
