The chamber waq of small size, and
certainly ventilated, for I could see the
stars through the roof The bed was
simply a bag of straw thrown into one

I stood ror more than an hour gazing
out of the opening which served for a
window. Before me was an immense
prairie, the limits of which I could not

"Allow rue to inquire," said I, "if Mt.

The broom stick was lifted; I heard it
cut the air like a minnie bullet, and sprant
down the steps into the street at my best
pace.
An angry man I do not fear; but who
can stand before an angry woman ? I bad
rather face a roaring lion.
I called on two more Smiths—still un
succesful in my search. It was gettin E
near dark. and I was more than anxiou.
to reach lily destination.
My next Mr. Smith was located in
Letiox street. -It was twilight when I
rang t; a bell at this door.
A smiling fdllovir admitted Ole, fairl)

utter a word.
"Walk right in sir, they tre expecting
you! The lvdies will be down in a mo

Walk right in sir "
I was gently pushed toward the door of
a shadowy apartment, and at the entrance
I wa. announced :
"Mr. Henry !"
The gas we, not lighted and the apart
went was in semidarkness. I heard a
soft,-qutck footfall on the carpet, and a
pair of arms fell round my neck, and a
',air of the sweetest lips on the earth
touched wine; and good gracious—for a
tuconent the world swam ; and I felt as if
I had been stewed in honey, and distilled
into Lubin's best triple extract of roses !
“Oh, llenry—ray dearest and best !
Why don't you kiss me, Ilenry ?" cried
a voice like music, have you ceased to
care fur rue !" and again the kiss was re
pear ad.
Who could resist the tempt, tion? I atu
oat orally a diffident man, but I have some
human natur, , iu we, and I paid her prin
ei pal and interest
"Oh, Ilenry, I had so feared that be , .

—and she replied with courtesy :
' She was not. You will, I hope( ex
cuse rue for the blunder I have commit
ted ? We are expecting wy brother Henry
from the army, and your blue clothes do•

"For which I shall always wear blue,"
I replied gallantly. "Allow we to intro

Sipa-divine!" and in inaki4f, my beet
bow, I stumbled backwards Fer an otto
loan, and fell smash into a eleina
demolishing at least a dozen plates and as
many glass tumblers.
I sprang to toy feet—seized my ban.
and without a word dashed out of the
house
I knocked over a man who was pafiFing
at the moment, and landed myself on my
head in the gutter. The Hiatt picked him
self up and was about to wake a display
of muscle, when the glare of the street
lump revealed; to me the well-known face
of my John Smith.
"Eureka!" cried I. "Allow motto in
