ANGELlQUE.

Why the Rev. Cyril Davies had
ever married such an impossible
creature as Angelique was more
than the good people of Maryville
could understand. True. she was
good hearted, but she was GER
tainly not of other peoples class.
She had been on the stage, and 1t
was whispered that even yet she
often danced theatrical measures
in the rectory.
But Cyril did not seem to care,
and Angelique spent much time in
looking after the poor and aged.
She had reason for this.
~ "Cyr-r-ril," she ould say. "still
I am looking for my gr-r-rand-
father. My poor mother lived
somewhere near this oogly little
town. She r-r-ran away with my
handsome father, and | never
knew who was her father. But |
find heem-you see!"
And, despite the village talk, all
went well until one day Cyril re-
ceived word that the bishop was
coming to visit him.
"Now. my darling" he said,
"the bishops coming. You'll be
very careful. won't you? You
won't dance? Just be dgnified
and sweet and attractive, as you
always are. and we need never
fear the bishop"
"Ah!" she cried Somebody
has told re bishop about me, Ell?
He is coming to see me-if l am
a good pr-rriest's wife. is 1t not?
Yes, Cyr-r-ril, will be oh, so
good"
The day for the visit came, and
Angelique worked like Trojan
setting the house in order. Finally
she stood for the 10th time in the
parlor, busting towel In her
hand.
ooh. Cyr-r-ril." she laughed.
$50 disconsolate ar're you! You
mus be afr-r-raid of this bishop?
Look! dance for you" and she
began to whirl gayly around the
room. waving the towel gracefully.
"The bishop of Maryville."
There fell a silence. The Rev.
Cyril found himself for the first
time in his life. speechless. Even
Angelique found it difficult to
greet her guest. Almost immedi-
ately dinner was served, but every
thing went wrong. The chicken
