Her next thought was that he bad traded the place for a chicken v farm and had come home to pack the a furniture and get right out among the t hens that night, but his words dis- * polled that. e "You are surprised, dear," he balm- * ily said, "but a word will explain all. ^ 1 came home early to give you a bit of surprise."
