Americans rely upon for Thanksgiving diversion.

But the rector uncomfortable; and he pressed Mrs Busby yGaisher for the sources of her lnforma- tion till she showed him the anonymous letter The simple cleric read it and said that it was very proper letter. and of course her correspondent could do less than write it, if she had reasons for her belief. Then he added, fondly Of course it relieves Us from any legal responsibility for the action we have taken. But I shall lose time in going to see Mir.

 "Very well-ha-hum-your wellknown tact" said the rector, and he took his leave But after awhile he grew uncomfortable. The thought that there might beNa legal side to the matter troubled him the thought also that he might incur some odium for acting firmly he had insufficient grounds, worried him. Moreover he began to resent Antony s having let him in a false position when a simple denial would have cleared the matter He made up his mind that by far the best course would be to go and at take high hand with the young idiot

Scarlet would see him when he had finished dinner. She left him to kick his heels for nearly an hour in that drawing-room. He was not long feeling that he was not being treated with a proper regard to his social importance, and the feeling grew in depth and intensity till, when the door did open, he was ready to treat the matter with a very high hand indeed.
 Antony Scarlet came in, wearing a dinner jacket an object in itself hardly an assurance of genuine re- spectability judged by the standard of Pringle Hill, smoking a large cigar, and without one word of apol- ogy, without removing his hands from his pockets, said cheerfully,: "Wefi, MT. Gudge, how are you?"
 The rector rose, drew himself to his full though not great height. and said, with admirable dignity: Il have come to ask, Mir. Scar let, for an explanation of your extraordinary conduct in allowing Mrs. Busby- G1aisher and myself to la bor under a mistake, if in deed we are laboring under a mistake, as to your mar riage with Mrs. Scarlet. A word from you would have set the matter right at once. But you chose delib- erately to put US in a false position; and I must de mand an explanation"
 And why shouldn't you, MT. Gudge? Why shouldn't your" said Antony, heart fly, with a beaming smile.
 fUnappeased by his en- gazing manner, the rector said sternly: And what is your explanation of this ha- hum-levity?"
 "Oh, when you came to me with the blackguardly lie you and Mrs. Busby- Glaisher vented and spread about my wife, 1t did not occur to me to say anything until I could say it in the proper way through her solicitor. I thought he had served the writ on you by now" said Antony cheerily.
 "Blackguardly lie! Solic- itor! Writ! What do you mean?" gasped the rector.
 ''Lies about a woman's character are generally con- sidered blackguardly; and my wife's solicitor has in- structions to commence ac- tions for slander against you and Mrs. BusHy-Gla- shier," said Antony, with a charming smile
 Suddenly the rector re- alized that this Antony Scarlet was a very differ ent young man from the vacuous young fool he had known, that for all his easy and pleasant cheeri- ness his eyes were danger Ous. and he Stuttered.
 "B-but you never d-de- nied it! A word from you would have stopped the matter at once! You had only to speak, ito show me your marriage certificate! It's entirely your own fault.

 When the rector came early in the afternoon, An tony Scarlet received him with his most open-mouthed vacuous air. The rector. who was used to hum and to ha, in and out of the pulpit, rose to the great occasion of his life and ex- pressed his heartfelt indig- nation at the enormity of the conduct of his nearer and his reputed wife with a fiuency as, agreeable as it was surprising to himself. Antony Scarlet was greatly mustered, and lamely asked whether the outraged ladies were likely to have suffered much harm from having been brought into contact with Mrs. Scarlet. The in- dignant rector did not spare him: he told him almost word for word what Mrs. Busby- -Glaisher had said, what other ladies had said, what he himself had said about the so-called Mrs. Scarlet. Then he told Mir. Scarlet with amazing elo- quence his opinron of him.
 Antony let the rector talk his fill, without saying a word more than was suffi- cient to excite him to his fullest expression of the sentiments of cera ed Pringle Hill. But as he left he said, with his fool ish lisp: Haven't you large private meanth, MT. Gudge?"
 "Yes. sir. I have. thank goodness. And it enables me to say what I think without fear or favor" said the rector; and he swelled with pleasure at his happy :. way of putting it.
 "TO' Mithith But hby- Glaither? How very nith," said Antony Scarlet, with an idfotic simper.
 The rector had not long been gone when young Mrs. Crewe came round in great distress. Antony saw her, since Mrs, Scarlet was ly- ing down with a headache: and she told him that Mrs. Busby-Glaisher had called on her with two other ladies whom she described with some felicity as old cats. had told her that he and his wife were not married, and assured her that if she continued to associate with Mrs. Scarlet no one would associate with her. Antony showed a good deal of in- terest about their exact words: but. since he did not deny the charge. she came away believing it to be true, and as much dis tressed as when she came.
 For a few days the af- fair developed slowly. La dies of more uncompromis- ing propriety were baked of their fervent desire to cut Mrs. Scarlet since she did not appear in the streets of Pringle Hill. They prowled about for hours in the engaging eff T0rt, put Tn vain. The grocer. a confirmed and public-spirited P lymO nth Brother, refused to supply the Scarlets with groceries: and the other tradesmen sent in their bills and de handed instant payment in conviction that by this dras dicating outraged propriety. bills in person and in cash; haps its chink. invariably tongues. and he learned tha; the rector. or both, had insT bill.
