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.

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 !

"Allow we to intro duce mys.Ml--I am Henry Parkwell, of 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.
