FOND OF FUN

giles in the presence of his company.
When the first lashes fell upon his
naked shoulders, the worthy FELLOW

Mrs. TiIton in Court.

Mrs. Tilton is regularly marched
into Court every day between her two
custodians, Mrs. Field and Mrs. Sher-
man. The disparity in size and phys
ique between these two latter, their
grim expression, and. their official
port-all suggest to me the gensddgnaes
duet it GeneudeOe de Bra6dnt. Poor,
shrinking little Mrs, Tilton, a wee
midget of a woman, pale-faced, sunk
en-eyed, hollow-cheeked, with her
head down between her shoulders, and
look of sly, childish simplicity in
her eyes, is clearly their prisoner. In
exorable as a. brace of turkeys, they
sit stiffiy on each side of her, and al
most crush her into nothingness, be-
tween them. I sit almost next to
Mrs. Tilton every day, with plenty Of
time to watch her wan and faded face.
She is very weary and very miserable.
The strain is more than she can bear.
Most of the time she bites her fingers
or gnaws listlessly at her fan, stealing
now and then a glimpse of the stern
and frozen face, which is all she can
see of her husband. Chicago ITibaue.
