dropped his napkin over the carving
knife and possessed himself of the
handle.
The indignant man had just entered
for the third time on a minute analysis
of Mr.. Wonderman's character and per
sonal appearance when his eloquence
received a rude check
His arms, which he was brandishing
wildly, were seized from behind, and,
turning his head from side to side like
an enraged bull, he found himself in
the grasp of two blue-coated figures,
who firmly admonished him to keep
quiet.
Incensed beyond all bounds at this
interference. he made a desperate effort
to release himself, and for the next few
minutes Mr.. Wondermans guests were
treated to the sight of a wrestling
match in which numbers and profess
sional skill were pitted against blind,
unreasoning fury
In spite OF his age, Mr. Merridew was
no mean antagonist, and it was not till
one of the policemen had administered
several sharp rapS on his head that a
pair of handouts were snapped on his
wrists and he was brought heavily to
the floor, where he still kept up the
struggle and continued to roar forth
threats and maledictions
Better sit on his legs" suggested
one of the guests, vigorously rubbing
one of his own which he had incau-
tiously ventured within the zone of
conflict.
One OF the policemen acting on this
hint Mr.. Merridew was finally reduced
to a state OF quiescence.
I'm sure l owe you a most humble
arology' Mr. Woderman said. address
ing his astounding guests, but the fact
of the matter is, this gentleman is the
uncle of our landlord. He is mentally
unbalanced and has broken out of the
asylum. He fancies he owns this house,

NO" replied Major Worthington. 81

about"
Mr. Merridew passed his hand across
| his brow in a helpless fashion, and
! looked for assistance to the constables.
! BE careful what you say, my fine
| Teller" said one of the officers in a ju-
+ dicial tone. I'VE know you, and all
about you'
Major Worthington's only reply was
look of naughty disdain
"This mans name amt Worthing-

card sharp and bunco man. We

it."
"What the devil do you mean by this
! insolence?" shouted the incensed ma
| jor.
Don't you talk to me like that, or
! I'll arrest YOU" replied the policeman
| "Jernyngham's your name, or one of
your names. You was living at the
Trumble House, but a couple of. months
ago we lost sight of you. Do you give
him in charger" he asked, turning to
Mr.. Merridew
There was rustic of expectancy in
the jury box.
Give him in charger" cried Mr.. Mer-
ridew Certainly not. Major Worth

Mansworth Street for ten years He's

entrance Of the parlor maid.

said, TO say as there's no one of the
name OF Merridew there There's a
gentleman of the name of Merrirnan,
but he hasn't escaped. What shall I
tell them ;"
Tell them to go to Hades," returned
Mr. Merridew violently.
Eyes, sir" answered the parlor maid
violently, and vanished with great pre-
cipitancy.
Major Worthington now peremptorily
demanding an explanation, a brief out
line of the facts so far as known was
laid before him, and the court resolved
itself into debating society. the police

some one bearing a strong resemblance
to Major Worthington had wilfu1ly and
cruelty imposed oR two unsuspecting
young people, and the police were
strongly recommended to take steps to
bring the offender to justice
A rider submitted by Mr.. Merridew
was elected as being of unnecessary
strength, and another, offered by an
oftlcious guest, that it would be well in
future II MIR. Merridew would wear
spectacles, was so co1d1y received bv
that gentleman who was sensitive about
his eyesight that it was hastily with
drawn.
In view of the indignities inflicted on
the rightful owner, Mr.. Wonderman
offered to vacate the house at once. but
Mr.. Merridew, in spite of his irascibIe
temper, was not destitute of chivalrv.
OF combative disposition, he looked
