THE CRISIS
It was guest night in the mess, and the Irish colonel was telling an exciting story of an encounter with a wounded elephant, which charged at him _ and bore him to the ground. At the critical moment an orderly entered to say the colonel was wanted on the telephone. He was absent for some minutes, and on his return had forgotten which of his favourite stories he had been tolling. “What happened, colonel?” asked one of the guests. “You were telling us of your dangerous situation.” “Oh, I kissed her,” said the colonel airily. “She simply couldn’t resist me, and we dined together that evening. Her husband; never knew.” !
