He Had Deceived Her.

He belonged to the militia. She though, he was a soldier. It was through this mistake that the trouble all originated. Having seen him with his uniform on she did the Desdemona racket the next time he called and wanted to love him for the dangers he had borne. “Were you ever in a mad, wild attack?” she asked in an awestricken voice. “Can’t say I ever was,” he replied flippantly. “I have never Deen in an attack, but last month I had a tack in me.” “What!” she cried, raising from her chair. “That’s what it was,” continued he, getting up also. “It wasn’t a mad, wild ■ tack, but was just one of those plains ordinary zinc carpet tacks and-—-” “Enough,” exclaimed she. “You have deceived me. You are but a carpet knight. Go.”K Pittsburgh Chronicle. „
