gentle breast Of . young married woman
at a mansion on Mob Hill. There il q
g~ood.looking maid in the house. with
hair inclined to be red, and o remark
ably neat ankle and waist, and full con.

married woman's husband seemed to pay
that good-looking maid more attention
than wal quite compatible with the ex-
elusive alteration his wife demanded OF
him. He usually gets homo late from
town. and has his dinner by himself,
and he has been in the habit Of clipping

dining.room. alleging that Il saves the
trouble Of going up and down the back

could have almost sworn that the pretty
servant girls left.hand hair .crimp was
di~sarranged, and that she had heard
from the passage sounds like the chirp-
ing Of q nest Of birdlings at the dawning
Of the day.
On Saturday she resolved to ascertain
for herself whether or not her ding
suspicious were warranted by the facts.
Accordingly she went down to the dining
room and told the pretty servant girl
that she would let her husband In her

confused, which was additional proof to
the jealous wife Of the justice OF her sus.

Up to q late hour last night the snarl

jealous wife does not exactly know
whether he ought to send his wife homo
