Madam, I'll Explain.

"A lsOCucStcI pdRcI CcitS ILLS STORY
Quite large party of gentlemen from
the city went down to the bay and were
Hospitality entertained at the cabin of
Birds and Worms. Among the party
we're several prominent men from present
and former official boards of the NUM-
cipality - lawyers, commissioners, and
other equally well-known and influential
citizens. No ladies were in the party,
and therefore "thc boys" went in for
good time, everything, of course, being
kept within safe and reasonable bounds.
After an afternoon of good sport the
party repaired to the Newport House to
make preparations for their return to the
city. They remained there until late in
the evening, and not until the majority
of the guests Of the house we're retired
to their rooms did the carriages begin to
fill tor the homeward journey. About
this time some joke came up, and from
the circumstances of the case one of the
gentleman ran, the others joining in pur-
suit. Dodging around the yard for a few
minutes, he escaped into the hotel, ran
up the stairs, and hid in one of the halls.
The tramp of feet, however, soon told
him he was followed, and, in his great
desire to escape, he skipped through an
open door into bedroom. The pur-
suers were almost at the door, and, in q
fit of desperation, he concealed his some
what substantial corporosity beneath the
bed. His friends looked in, saw no one,
and passed ON. In few minutes they
went down stairs again, and the con-
cealed fugitive was just about crawling
out to 60 down when new figure appeared
on the scene. A lady entered the room,
and to the horror of the gentleman under
the bed, began to show unmistskable
symptoms Of her intention of going to
her nights repose. There was but one
course to pursue on the part of our hero,
and he pursued it. Sticking his head
and arms out from under the bed, he ex.
claimed: "Madam, don't be frightened.
It's all right, and I'll explain how came
here. Don't be scared. Don't scream,
beg Of you. The business can all be
explained in" The remainder was lost
in wild scream Of alarm, and the rush
of the whole hotel force to the room.
