than tinged with sarcasm.

put it into my head"

but not at the sea.
"And I'll come for him the day after
tomorrow" said Mrs. Berry.
1t was the old story of the stronger
will; Mrs. Cox after a feeble stand
gave way altogether.
Several days after the quiet of the
house was broken by the return of it's
master, whose annoyance, when he
found the drawing-room clock stolen
and a man in possession, was alarming
in it's vehemence. He lectured his
wife severely on her mismanagement,
and after some hesitation announced
his intention Of going through her
books. Mrs. Cox gave them to him,
and, armed with pen and ink and four
square inches of pink blotting-paper,
he performed feats of balancing which
made him very Blondin of finance.
Il can't help it," said Mrs. Cox, wip-
ing her eyes. I'm sure I've done all
l could to keep a home together. /

Mr.. Cox, who had been glancing
round the room again, looked up
sharply.
why not?" he inquired.
"The brokers' man." said Mrs. Cox,
nervously; he's made an inventory of
everything, and he holds us respon-
sible.'
Mr.. Piper, who was already very
tired of his Imprisonment, looked up
curiously as he heard the door pushed

The Terrace" consisting of eight
gaunt houses, faced the sea, while the
back rooms commanded a view of the
ancient little town some half-mile dis
tant. The beach, a waste of shingle,
was desolate and bare except for a
ruined bathing machine and a few
pieces of linen drying in the winter
sunshine. In the offing tiny steamers
left a trail of smoke, while sailing
craft, their canvas glistening in the
sun, slowly melted from the sight.
From the front windows of the third
story of No. 1 Mrs. Cox, gazing out to
sea, sighed softly. The season had
been bad one, and Mr.. Cox had been
even more troublesome than usual ow-
ing to tightness in the money market
and the avowed preference of LOCAL
publicans for cash transactions to as
sets in chalk and slate.
He had in his earlier days attempted
to do little work.
Mrs. Coxs meditations were dis
turbed by a knock at the front door.
Glad to see you, my DEAR" said
the visitor, kissing her loudly.
1--WE got my Uncle Joseph from
London staying with u.s." continued
the visitor, following her into the hall,

A question on Mrs. Cox's lips died
away as very small man who had
been hidden by his niece came into
sight.

ry; "Mr. Joseph Piper" she added.
Mr.. Piper shook hands, and after a
performance on the door-mat, protract-
ed by reason of a festoon of hemp,
followed his hostess into the faded
drawing-room.
"And Mr.. Cox" inquired Mrs. Berry,
in cold voice.
Mrs. Cox shook her head. He's
been away this last three days." she
said, flushing slightly.
Looking for work?" suggested the
visitor.
Mrs. Cox nodded, and, placing the

II never pawned a clock" Piper
said, stroking his little gray head.
"Tll go on like this, my dear, till
you're ruined" said the sympathetic
Mrs. Berry, turning to her friend
again; "what'll you do them"

BAD ITCHING HUMoR,
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
Feet SwoIIen-SIeep Broken
Cured In 2 Days by Cuticura.

Some two months ago I had a hu.
NOR break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned. They
were so swollen that I could not get
my shoes on for a week or more. I
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the sui.
fering was intense and during that
time did not sleep an hour at time.
Then one morning I tried bit of
Cuticura. From the moment it touched

open, and discovered an elderly gen
tleman with an appearance of great
stateliness staring at him. In the
ordinary way he was one of the meek
est of men, but the insolence of this
stare was outrageous. Mr.. Piper, open
ing his mild blue eyes wide, stared
back Whereupon Mr.. Cox, fumbling
in his vest pocket, found pair of
folders, and putting them astride his
nose, gazed at the pseudo-broker's
man with crushing effect
Where is your warrant or order,
or whatever you call it," demanded
Cox.
1--WE complied with the law by
showing it once" said Mr.. Piper,
bluffing, "and I'm not going to show it
again."
"Vulture!" Cox cried, in a terrible
voice.
Yes, SIR" said the trembling Mr..
Piper.
Mr.. Cox waved his hand towards the
window.

bled beneath him.

manded Mr.. Cox. What are you
waiting for? If you don't fly out of
the window I'll throw you OUT
Don't touch me-" screamed Mr..
Piper, retreating behind a table, "it's

"Eh?" said the other; mot a
brokers' man? What are you, them"
In eager, trembling tones Mr.. Piper
told him, and, gathering confidence as
he proceeded, related the conversation
which had led up to his imposture.
Mr.. Cox listened in a dazed fashion,
and as he concluded threw himself into
a chair, and gave way to terrible out
burst of grief.
"The way I've worked for that wom-
an" he said, brokenly Ito think it
should come to this! The deceit of
the thing; the wickedness of it. My
heart is broken; shall never be the
same man again-never!
Il might brighten my wife," unused
the amiable Mr.. Cox; lit would
be lesson to her not to be
deceitful again. And, by Jove,
I'll get some money from her
to escape with; know she's got
some, and If she hasn't she will have
in day or two. There's little pub
at Newstead, eight miles from here,
where we could be as happy as fight
ing cocks with flyer or two. And
while we're there enjoying ourselves

through the garden, indicated the road.
