Not Vers long after that, George had
to go out OF town, and was to be kept
away until very late.

tro alxfast, @ If your mother comes down
to-day. YOU ought to 20 back with her.
Gu Will he ve.y lonely here this
evening. 1t might even be better If
YOU remain up there all nicht.'
Perhaps,' said Mrs. Brown, as ho
kissed her and went away.
1t waS one o'clock the next morning
when he got back to town. aud at half
past he was at the door of his fiat.
She did go UP TO her mother. after
all" he said to himself, as he looked
uD to the tTansom, from which not q
gimmef OF light came; q am very
CAD; she would have been anxious
about my being so late.n
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
lNcl.. Then ho sworo like n trooper,
and ended by sitting down on tho
stairs and wiping the perspiration from
his forehead
Well, Pm hanged if this isn't in
tereSting !" he exclaimed.
Alter awhile no got mp like giant
refreshed, and proceeded to mako a
last effort. As he shook and even
kicked the obstinate door. he heard a
gruff voice from below.

brown over tho stairs at man who
tame up with a light. This was the
now janitOr. Here,' continued
Brown; 81 want TO get into those
rooms of mine, and this blooming kew
won't open the door,
The ianitor took the key and tried
his h2nd at it.
Why, this key doesn't belong to
th s lock at all, - he said taking it out.
tell you it docs" said Brown,
"Lool1 here" said the janitor. "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 ianitor told me to look out for
such as yOu.o
Do you mean that 1 am trying on
cueer business ?" burst in Brown, with
his last remnant of temper utterly
rome; these are my rooms; my wife
: away, and | must get in, tell youn
don't know yoH, and | am not
roing to lose my job for vOu. You
vii Just. have TO get out" said tho
Cher.
Brown rushed at him, grabbed him
! Y the collar and threw him down
stairs. The janitor picked himself
m. and ran down the street to get
policeman. The other hurried after
tim on precisely the same errand.
Now. Mrs. Brown had not gone to her
mothers at all. While her irate hus-
land wds fumbling AT the door, she had
beer sitting in the parlor, listening to

voice. Then came the noise of some
ling falling. witch quite put an end
TO her amusement.
4 little white-r0bed figure opened
the door and looked out. but there was
Nobody there. and I.obody down stairs
nothing but Georges bag lying on the
floor. What should she do? She did
not know anybody in the other fats.
Per- APPS George would come back JOn.
At any rate she made up her mind that
sire could do nothing but wait.
The hours passed by until it was
riEht o'clock, and she was in a state of
terror. At about nine a policeman
came for her. lie said her husband
was up ut 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
buly messenger. 1t was seldom that
so daintyoa 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 gr ateSt lady in the land.
Come up here,o said the Judge,
putting on his glasses and looking at
her with great interest.
The little woman came forward.
i =" Do you know the prisoner ?''
Little Mrs Brown half smiled
! through the tears that more than
| threatened to come into her brown
! eyes.
Oh. yes, that is my husbands
Where do you live 20
" At one thousand and one, West
