Next morning at IL o'clock Mrs. Mainwar-

usual, only the eye that gazed through it
burned SO that it might have melted the
glass. In moment she sank back with a
scream.
'Adams!' she cried, "she's therer'
''Who, ma amp asked Adams.
"The minxv' screamed Mrs. Mainwaring
Trumpet.
''Lawk, ma amp said Adams.
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet applied her
self to the telescope for few minutes and
then burst into another scream.

"Well, l never!' Adams calculated; but

difference; but of course you know nothing
about it"
"No, ma am," Adams said; 81 have been
mercifully preserved"
Adams was thirty-five, brisk and good
looking, and had just quarreled with her
eighth beau.
More like Lady Macbeth than ever, Mrs
Mainwaring Trumpet stood up and said, in
tones that made even the favorite Adams
shake in her shoes, ''The carriager' ''The
