They worried around for some time until his host happened to displace the pillow on the bed. “ Why, hero are your clothes!” he exclaimed, fishing them out from underneath the pillow. Then Mr. Lang remembered that when he went to bed ho had found the pillow too low for him and had raised it by putting some of his clothes underneath 1 NO REST. “George,” she asked, “if we were young and single again, would you want me to be your wife?” " Now, my dear,” he absent-mindedly replied, “ what’s the use of trying to start a quarrel just as we have settled down to onjoy a quiet evening ?”
