kissed her and went away.

about my being so late"
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

and ended by sitting down on tho
stairs and wiping the perspiration from
his forehead.
Well. Pm hanged If this isn't in

kicked the obstinate door, he heard a
gruff voice from below.

The ianitor took the key and tried
his h"nd at it.
Why, this key doesn't belong to

viii Just. have to get out" said tho
CHER.
Brown rushed at him, grabbed him
v the collar and threw him down
Ftairs. The janit9r picked himself
I'M. and ran down the street to get a
policeman. The other hurried after
him on precisely the same GRAND.
Now. Mrs. Brown had not gone to her
mothers at all. While her irate bus-
Land Was fumbling at the door, she had
been sitting in the DarlOr. listening to

voice. Then came the noise of some
hing falling, Which quite put an end
20 her amusement.
A 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 tho
floor. What should she do? She did
net know anybody in the other fats.
Perhaps George would come back SON.
At any rate she made up her mind that
size could do nothing but wait.
The hours passed by until it was
light o'clock, and she was in state of
terror. At about nine a policeman
came for her. lie said her husband
was up at the police court, and sent
Linn 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. 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 or atest lady in the land.
Come up here's said the judge,
putting on his glasses and looking at
her with great interest.
The little woman came forward.

through the tears that more than
threatened to come into her brown
eyes.
