In state Of mind far from comfortable,
Peter went away and eat his supper at a
ueighboring restaurant. after which he
went into the club room and pretended
to read. Towards nine O'Clock two gem
tlemen entered, one Of whom came up
to Peter, and slapped him upon the
shoulder.
"say, old boy, you're getting careless,
dye know it ?"
"What dye mean?" asked Peter,
looking up from his paper.
"My meaning is Serious" replied the
newcomer, GOOD gracious where's
that young wife of yours ?"
"My wife ?" CRASHED Peter.
"Aye-your wife. Egad! we just met
her walking arm-in,arm with perfect
Adonis. And, l do declare, she seemed
as happy as it is possible for woman to
be-"
"IIow looked the mani" cried Peter,
starting up.

Peter Pepperell waited to hear no
more. Selling his hat, he rushed from

room he found his wife seated near one
of the windows, and he saw in an instant

have taken up some poisonous thing, and
shook them in his wife's face.
"What are these ?" he shouted, at the
same time stamping his foot and grind
lug his teeth.
Susan cast one look upward, and then
covered her face with her hands.
"By the eternal Moses, madam! the
