Not very long after that. George had

he deposited his travelling bag on
the floor and produced his KEYS But
the door refused to be opened by tho
little Yale key. He Turned and
twisted it; burned his fingers with
matches examining Is; turned it gently
and twisted it vigorously, but the thing
would not turn as it ought to in the
loclr. Thon he sworo like n trooper,
and ended by sitting down on the
stains and wiping the perspiration from
his forehead
Well. Pm hanged if this isn't in
tereSting ~ he exclaimed.
After awhile no got up like a giant
refreshed, and proceeded to mako n
last effort. As he shook and even
kicked the obstinate door, he heard a
gruff voice from below.

The janitor took the key and tried
his hand at it.
Why, this key doesn't belong to
th : lock- at all - he said. taking it out.
Il tell you it does" said Brown,
angrily.
6. Look hereD said the janitor. "a you
had Just better get out of this. 1t
strikes me you have come to the
wrong house. Quee.er things than
chat have happened before now The
last lanitcr told me to look out for

his last remnant of temper utterly

cher.
Brown rushed at him, grabbed him
Y the collar and threw him down
stairs. The janitor picked himself
IN. and ran down the street to get
policeman The other hurried after

Now, Mrs. Brown had not gone to her
mothers at all. While her irate hus-
land was fumbling at the door. she had
been sitting in the parlOr. listening to

voice. Then came the noise of some
thing falling, Which quite put an end
TO her amusement.
4 little white-rObed figure opened
the door and looked out. but there was
nobody there. and Nobody down stairs
nothing but Georges bag lying on the
floor. What should she do? She did
net know anybody in the other flats.
| Perhaps George would come back S ION.
! At any rate she made mp her MIND that
sire could do nothing but wait.
The hours passed by until it was
eight o'clock, and she was in a state of
| terror. At about nine a policeman
came for her. lie said her husband
was up at the police court, and sent
| him to fetch her, though without much
expectation of finding her there.
Brown was put forward just as she
got in the court. The little woman
! hurried down the aisle, followed by the
| burly messenger. It was seldom that
so daintyea figure appeared in that
6ingy place. The Ii tless public on the
! benches stared at her. The big police
man opened the wicket to let her pass
with as much Difference as if she were
the or Attest lady in the land.
g Come up here.o said the judge,
| putting on his glasses and looking at
her with great interest.
The little woman came forward.

Little Mrs. Brown half smiled
through the tears that more than

eyes.
" Oh. yes, that is my husband"
