ANOTHER FOOLISH WIFEI
THE DUEL BY LOT
WOman's Vengeance!
A HUSBAND SHOT.

How many wives are there in our broad land
who pray earnestly, daily, "lead us not into
temptation y They may be pure in heart
and unblemished in reputation, but still the
temper will sometimes come in spite of every
watch and ward. Let those who have been
thus tempted read the trials and struggles of
our heroine, and it will not only interest them
deeply, but render them stronger, purer, and
better fitted TO meet and conquer temptation,
let it present itself In whatever form it may.
| On fine day in the fall of the year, Lord
and Lady Carisbrook were seated under the
Ehade of spreading beech tree, in the gardens
attached to Caldecott Hall, which was the
name of their ancestral abode. His lordship
was reading letter he had received from his
| brother In London, and when he had complet-
ed its perusal, he exclaimed: :.
Hubert says in his letter, my dear that he
has dispatched to us Sir Charles Evander, a
young baronet of whom have heard something.
He is friend of Hubert's, who knows his
mother very well, and he wishes him to be
kept for some time In the country, if possible,
as the delights of London are rapidly demoral-
izing him.
Il shall be glad to extend our hospitality to
any friend OF your brother Hubert's answered
