"Sir," said the first speaker stern

Poor Brown was dumbfOunded.

" Welk sir, what are YOU waiting
for? 1t is necessary that your wife
should be removed at once. Will
you order carriage!"
Brown saw there was no use to
protract the discussion by denial.
He therefore, without conteSting the
point, ordered a hackney coach to the
spot.
Mr.. Brown accordingly lent an arm
to Mrs. Jones, who had somewhat re.
covered, and was about to close the
door upon her.

Brown gave despairing glance at
the crowd around him, and deeming
it useless to make opposition where

the lady in.

Brown.

Brown.
