daughter were visiting at the use of

the latter asked the young lady to go
with him in another rom, which she
i'd. Shortly afterward the mother

shall be mine or will kill your Her
daughter called out as though in great
terror: Leave me, leave me-" The
mother ran at once to an adjoining room,
where she saw her friends son. embra-
cing her daughter, and apparently un-
der the influence of the feeling express
sed by the language he had used. She
tore hrr daughter away from him and
from the house, insisting that she would
put the law in motion for this insult to
ler child. Over and over again the
daughter tried to explain what had hap
pened, but her mother would hear moth
ing. She carried out her threat, and the
case came before the court. Then, but
too late to prevent an amusing scene, it
was explained that the young lady and
gentleman had only been rehearsing
