budding beauty when. ca dssha6Ae.-
This task completed, she turns on the
gas to its fnli, ard institutes general
search through the apartment, that she
may be sure it does not contain ''horri-

Carefully. with delicate little fingers she

not lorgstting u glance neyorously under

the floor ia not sufficient to contain the
ghost of Calyain Edison, much less an
ordinary robbcr.
Having ascertained that she is really
alone, she leisurely proceeds to diyest
her fair form Of the .slk and linen con

There is happy smile that peeps out
from behind the bushes of her sweet
face now, as, standing before the glass,
she places upou her head the night-cap.
and with quick twist Of her fingers,
ties the bowitiching bow.-Then the
night gown is throwa on, over the fill

Then the counterpane and sheets are
thrown back, the gas is turned down
very, very low. and the little form presses
the yielding couch, and the angel goes

handsome moustache of her Adolphus,
and his vows of eternal love are promi-
