instead of going out at the door I
came in, I unlocked another door,
and walked into a closet.
Before I e6uld rectify my error,
there came a terrible thundeiing at
the first door. The lady sci camied;
the noise increased; and I flelt
peculiar, knowing very well that
the lady's husband was ceming, and
that I was in a bad fix.
Well aware that it would not do
to ronain in the closet, and convinced
of the (ngner of mecting a man who
might fall.into the vulgar weakness
of being'jealous, I was trying to

dark recess, when the lady rIused to
me and whispered in a mild manner
"What shall I do? If you do not
go ho will kill Ine."$
"0-but consider-"
The thundering at the door
drowned her voice. She flew to
open it. As tho wrathful husband
burst into thoerooni, .1 though t I felt
a little cold, and crept under some
garituents hanging in the closet.
