Lewis turned towards his wife .curiously.
Now Mrs. Lewis had spoken from the
moments impulse, and had already partly

That smiling face you turned upon Mr.
Edwards, when you answered his question
just now
Mr.. Lewis slightly averted his head, and
walked on in silence, They had called in
at the store of Mr.. Edwards to purchase 6
few articles, and were on their way home
There was no smile on the face of Mr.
Lewis now, but very grave expression in
stead, grave almost to sternness. The words
of his wife had taken him altogether by
surprise; and though spoken lightly, had
Jared upon his ears.
The truth was, Mr.. Lewis. like great
many other men who have their own busi-
ness cares and troubles, was in the habit oi
bringing home sober, and too often a
clouded face. 1t was in vain that his wife

ry goes that Smith shot a rabid dog that

ed the accidnnt, Shufelt allows that Smith
should foot the bill. Smiths counsel OBJ
jects to this by saving that Smith was do
ing a lawful act in lawful manner, and
that as the horse was frightened by the dog,
the owner of the dog (Davidsen) should pay
the damages. Davidson's lawyer claims, on
the contrary thai he is not holden, because
the dog was not mad. and if lie were mad,
he would not have frightened the horse had
Smith attended to his own business and let
the dog alone. How the question will
