"I' Casaaand Bmids for sale at this Office A Mimikai. i Love -The Keokuk Gate City relates the following: Ed.

Ed. w as to come to ihc house and wait outside until the lights were turned off, and then she would quietly let him in. The evening cniiie, and Boa thought her parent never would retire. But after a while tf Br. sought his tight oap, and Boa slipped off into the back par lor and sat down in the dark. Her mother, thinking all other had gone to bed, lighted a lamp, turned off tho gas, and went up stair lo bed. But while she was stand ing in the hall, at the head of the stairs, sho heard a gentle rap at the dour, tear ing that the wind would blow out her only light, she thoughtfully snt it down in the hall and descended to the dour, by its un certain light. As she threw open the tloor, in rushed Ed , and seizing her in his arms, l egan such a seige of kissing as prevented her crying out for aid. Four Ed. did not discover his error until ho had called her hi darling Bosa about ninety times, and received upon hi lace a blow in ex change for earh kis. But hearing himself called an impertinent iiiain, he incontinent ly fled the house, a greatly chagrined as Sir. 1'. was angry. Whether his devotion and persistency wou the mother to his favor, it is not stated, but Ed. and Bosa were shoitly afterward. married, with the full conent of the pa rents. It proved with Ed's love making, as it often does in card-1, a misdeal changes the luck.
