hardly enough to keep him In white
gloves and to burnish his brass but
tons.
"Well, admiral, what you say Is
true, but when you married you were
only a midshipman, with even a smal
ler salary than mine. How did you
get along?" asked the ensign, who
thought he had made a good defense.
But not so. The crafty old sea-dog
thnuderd forth:
"I lived on my father-in-law for
the first 10 years, but I'll be hanged
if you are going to do it." '
