open.
There" said Mrs. Frosty, my nus
band is coming now. You'll not be de-
tanned any longer than you would at
home. Come, | thisk you'd better stay. e
Along came Frosty through the hall.
and his sour face would have turned
sweet milk i'll a twinkling.
The instant he caught the sound Of a
male voice III the dining room his old
suspicious began to flame mp again. A.
soon as could creep along as far as the
door in his stealthy way and look IL
through the crevice and see who Wa
there his rage burst all bounds anu
made him temporary mailman. Colo
mel Sawyer and his wife were in the
room alone! That was quite enough.
Now, what does this mean, sir"
shouted the enraged husband, dashing
up before the thunderstruck colonel.
This is just what I've been expecting
for a long time. | knew there was some
mischief like this afoot What are you
doing in my house? Tell me, sir, or
march yourself out sooner than you
came in
The colonel had got over his astonish-
ment enough to commence a calm ey-
PLANTATION, when Mrs. Frosty, bursting
into tears, threw herself before her
angry husband and implOred him to ne
silent, for it was a trifing mistake, and
Colonel Sawyer would Immediately ey
plain it all
But the enraged man would hear moth
ing.
Leave the ROOM" he exclaimed to his
wife. I'll hear nothing from you! I've
had disgrace enough brought on me al
ready. Leave the room!
Mortified and in tears, she passed ont
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 superhuman effort.
Il mistOOk the house, sir, that is all
said he. My intentions were perfectly
honorable, and out of this house, sir,
you shall not call them in question with
out being held personally responsible. |
am quite ready to leave the place, l as
sure YOU"
