her in utter darkness. Thus situated, Mrs.
Oliver Brown did ~hst most ladies tand

her way along the passage till she came
to the open door of number twenty nine,
went softly in, shut the door in the same
quiet way, and got into bed, where, being
greatly fatigued with all she had under
gone, she soon fell fast asleep.
In the meantime, Mr.. Norwood
Scrubs having repossessed himself Of
his govt mixture, had also returned to the
corridor, where seeing q door ajsr, pre-
cisely as he had left bis own, he at once
went in, closed the door, blew out the
candle, and popped into bed, where my
excellent uncle was still sleeping as peace
fully as baby, and utterly unconscious
of the recent migratory movements of
Mrs. Brown, which were destined to pro-
duce such an unlooked-for disturbance in
the domestic arrangements of the two
families occupying respectively numbers
twenty-seven and twenty-nine.
Mr.. Norwood Scrubs, however,
though now quite easy both in body and
mind, was unable to sleep and lay awake,
first thinking of one thing and then of
another, till he was suddenly recalled to
the stern realities of life by hearing his
wife's voice proceeding apparently from
the adjoining room. In state of
immense perplexity he struck out
with his sound leg in the direc-
ton of the sleeping figure at his
side, when having come in contact with a
plump, warm body corresponding to that
Of his amiable helpmate, he paused and
suspended all further investigation for
the present, and calmly awaited the issue
of events. Nor had he very long to wait.
Mrs. Norwood Scrubs was lady

GUS an experiment to attempt to argue as
with tigress surrounded by litter of
famished cubs. She had just walked up
from her first sleep, when happening to
put her hand upon that part of the con-
nubial couch where her Wormwood's
head was wont to rest, she found it
brought in contact with lace nightcap,
and a prefusion of long curls that had es-
capped from beneath it.
"Why, what's this, Scrubbs3 What
tomfoolery's this you're after2 What's
this, I sayG" tugging as she spoke at the
head dress of her supposed husband.
"Why, goodness gracious, it isn't Scrubs

aunt, in gentle but startled accents, i'm
plored her to be quiet.
"But who are you2 and what are you
doing in number twenty -nine9"
"Number twenty mine! Surely this is
not twenty-nine, but twenty seven"
doubtingly returned my aunt, as the idea
suddenly flashed upon her that she might
have mistaken the one room for the
other. II think can explain it ALL"
Explain it ALL OF course you'll ex-
plain it all, and something more than
that, befMe I've done with you, you
