TO see Mrs. Jones sitting up for him
below stairs, with no other light than
that Of the gas lamp, which faced the
door, to keep her company.
"M-M-Marie," he said huskily, "y-you

AS Mrs. Jones did not answer him, he
continued in an alarmed voice:
"Shorry, m'dear, but it's last time
tell you I'm sorry-won't shpeak to

At this moment Mrs. Jones called
from above stairs;
"Nlr. Jones, who are you talking to
at this hour Of the night?"
"Thash what I'd like to know
m-m-myself," stammered Jones.
Mrs. Jones fastened down stairs,
lamp in hand. When she saw the sit
uation, she laughed in spite Of being
very angry.
