The colonel had got over his astonish-
ment enough to commence calm G
PLANTATION, when Mrs Frosty, bursting
into tears, threw herself before her
angry husband and implored him to be
silent, for it was tniiffiing mistake, and
Colonel Sawyer would Immediately 9-
plain it all.
But the eraged man would hear moth

Mortified and IN tears, she passed out
to brood over her misery and mortifca-
ton alone
Colonel Sawyer essayed to begin,
though it was exceedingly hard work,
and he could accomplish nothing but
with almost superhunan effort.

He began to do SO.

Jealous husband Il should advise ycu
for the future, however, to be little
careful before you go into other persons
houses and see If your own number ex-
tends the whole length Of the streetr
Colonel SAWYER withdrew, resolved to
have no further words with such a crea-
ture- He saw that he was beside him
self with Jealousy, and he knew that
speech would be wasted On him
Perhaps il was a couple Of months

his opportunities during the luncheon.
Going out into the bracng ain after
such a banquet. lIr. Frosty began to feel
the effects very 5ensibly. By hook and

up the steps.
After hanging up his reatcoat and hat
IN the hall he stepped along to the door
Of the dining room and opened It Who
should suddenly appear to him as he
looked around the roon but Colonel
SawyTs wife. Frosty rubbed his eyes,
stanmered- made half bow, felt wholly
lost and finally gave i up.
Il deciare-' he exclaimed, looking

Oh, no, my dear sir" said Colonel
Sawyer Immediately rising and sei1g
up to him. you have done NO such
thing: you know you have not! You
have only stolen in Lere- to bring dis
grace upon my family. I've been sus-
reccing this, sir, fer a long time, and
now, sir, I'll just walk out myself with
you andfbe a1 the trouble Of finding your
own house fer you
Upon this the colonel put on his coat
and hat and insisted On accompanying
Mr.. Frosty home. Not a syllable of e1-
plantation would he listen to.
"Oh, no, nor he would say, whenever
Frosty began to apologize. Il under

It's all very well to say you've lost the
WY into my house, but should for the
future advise you before going into other
persons houses to just look and see if
your own number runs the length Of the
street.
Just the language Frosty had before
used to him, and just what sealed his

But tnat was not the best of it The
colonel insisted on going home with hin

in such a pleasant yet persistent way
that Frosty could not have shaken him

submissive by reascn OF his own NORTH

The colonel, therefore, went IN md

oughly pleased that amiable lady that, in
view Of previous circumstances, she set
up 4 rssistIess laugh IN the face of her
humble lord in the midst of which his
very polite escort took occasion to quiet
y withdraw.
But Frosty was thoroughly cured of
his JEALOUSY. for he admitted that it was
quite possible for a respectable man to
mistake even the number of his OWL
