Only he musn't suspect Oh, the deceitful, false, un- | grateful Ooh, Robertr' l Here she broke down, and burst into an agony of tears and sobbing.
 When Simpson came home that even- | ing, he found his wife looking very ner- l vous and excited.
 "What's the matter, Maggie? Aren't | you well?'' he inquired, standing before the fire and looking down at her. sOh, yes-perfectly wellr' she replied, with toss of her head.
 Mr. Simpson sat down, and unfolded his evening paper Then his wife looked up with a smile.
 ..Goino to the theatre to-nightP' "No; there's nothing much worth seeing. and you know 1 don't generally | care about it.
 ''Don't you, indeed? Thought you liked Romeo and Juliet"
 They had that last night Hamlet tonight, believe" said Simpson, glanc- ing at his paper. Would you like to go.''
 II go? No, indeedr' with another toss, and dropping three more stitches.
 Simpson began to read the parlia- mentary report. Mrs. Simpson's speech broke in upon it,
 sWas it pleasant atthe club (sarcastic emphasis on ''club'') Tuesday night 1l1
 ''VeryH>~-> H,,s
 '.Oh, no doubtl He, hel And'a - cool and pleasant on the balcony?n
 ''What balcony?"
 He was looking at her with eyes lit tie wider than usual; and she thought she had nim now. He might pretend ignorance and innocence, but he could not deceive her again. No, indeed!
 What's the price of lilies?" she in- quired, fixing her eyes upon him as though they had been daggers to pierce his conscience through and through.
 Lilies? really don't know"
 ''Oh, the consummate hypocrite!- the cold-blooded deceiverr' she thought. But she only remarked, sarcastically-
 "You have settled your arrangements, suppose'"
 Simpson turned a little pale as he looked at her. She perceived this, and gave a triumphant hysterical giggle.
 Maggie, my dear.' said Mir. Simpson, gently laying aside his paper, and speak ing in a tiuttering voice.
 ''Oh, yes? I'm your dear, am 1 i? Yours only of course. He, he! Oh, my! He, he, her'
 Simpson was white now. He sat for moment looking intently at his wife, then started up and seized his hat.
 "Where are you gong!n enquired Mrs. Simpson with sudden forced calm ness, while her eyes glittered ominously.
 .Only-ah-only to step out on lit tie business matter" he replied.
 Then he slipped into the nursery, where the maid was.
 Mary" he said breathlessly, "go down stairs and stay with your mis- tress. Don't leave her for an instant until my return. If possible, get her to bed. She's ill, and I'm going for a doctor"
 Mary obeyed. She found her mistress frantically attiring herself in an ulster and bonnet with veil.

 ''Get over what?' said Mrs. Simpson, sharply, as she buttoned up the ulster on the way to the door.
 '.Master said you was undisposed mum, and that 1 was to watch you anC get you to bed, and that he'd gone for 2 doctor"
 '.Gone for doctor? Oh, the deceit ful villainr' thought Mrs. Simpson, a: she placed her hand on the hall-dool knob.
 But the door was locked and the key gone.

 The thought came like an inspiration and she at once proceeded to act upon it
