Mr. Dubois went Immediately up to his room,
when, to his surprise and mortitcatlon, nc found
his bed taken down and every article Of furniture
removed sn owe from the apartment. This was equiva-
lent to an election; and his pride forbade further
occupancy of the house. With an exclamation of
indignant wrath, he drew his trunk into the pas
sage-way and hastily descended to the street. An

Vests residence; and, without the knowledge OF
the family, Dubois removed his trunk to neigh
boring hotel.
While all this was going on, Mrs. West-who

that That she would inform Dubois about it as soon as
he came home to supper. Mr.. West said that
she should do no such thing; said he would not
