Improving On His Wife's Method.

There is in this city a young Bene-
dict who is so fortunate as to be we'd
ded to a lady OF rare beauty and at
Effectiveness. Nowthis young Benedict
had in all respects proved Il modelhus-
band and had acquitted himself SO
faithfully on all occasions that his
wife had confidence in him, and will
iingly intrusted the most sacred
and important duties to his charge.
So fully, indeed. did she trust
him that on Wednesday last she
started for the. country to have a
weeks visit with a friend, and the last
words to him before starting-having
consigned the baby to the tender mer-
cles OF the nurse-were: George,

Don't let him over-eat himself. and
above all, battle him regularly. You'll

towels are in the linen press and his
comb and brushes are in the left hand

And be sure when you're finished to

in the sunshine to dry, and if he &C
catches cold telegraph me-" Sosaying
she printed one last impassioned
kiss on Fido's nose, tearfulIy
delivered HIM to her husbands arms,
stepped into thecarriage and wasgone.
On Thursday and Friday George i'm
plicitly carried out the parting instruc-
tions OF his absent wife. He bathed
Fido, cologned Fido, brushed, combed
and dried Fido. But yesterday morn
ing when the scribe passed by their
residence he heard wild yelpings and
ki-yi-ings proceeding from the yard.
Stepping up to the fence he looked
over and saw an unusually fat pug,
now tumbling IN the ground, now
turning somersaults in the air and
frantically yelping the while. Some
few yards off stood George with his
hands i'll his pockets and a smile OF
sweet contentment or his face. He
was bathing Fido. He had chained
him to a post and turned the hose
upon him.

The mask seemed not to have any
eyes or ears for anything save the
lady beside him. And lower and low
er sank Katie's poor little heart as
the evening wore on, and still Wilkes
made no effort to distinguish her
from among the crowd. AT last, when
she could constrain herself no longer,
she quietly slipped away from the
throng and went out into the moonlit
garden and wept alone in a seat un.
der the trees.
A long time she sat thus, when, with
the thought that she would bemissed.
she started up.
A hand was laid gently on her arm.
"Stay. a moment, Katie. Iwantto
speak with you q moment"
Twas Wilkes Lees voice, and Katie
struggled to get from the grasp that
detained her.
"Katie, I heard what you said that

"Mother, my darling; and youa reto

Suffice to say q few days after there
was a wedding somewhere, and some
one, which a Katie, was married
to some one, which means Wilkes Lee,

once a participation in Katie's defeat.
