could find in his hesrt to regard as false
and dsngeroua. He waa even venturing
to make Mrs. Oaorge Djwnes that ex-ception
said to be contingent on every
rule, when suddenly all his auspicious
were forced into active life and promi-nence.
Ooe day—a very wet one—a close car-riage
dreve up to George's house, and
Mrs. George, heavily cloaked and vailed,
WSB driven away in it.
'Very well, ma'am,' 'said Mark, aua-picionsly,
to himself, 'we shall see
whether you confess to having been ont
to-day.'
8o he went over to George's, played a
rubber or two with his favorite, and
tried every way to induce a confession
as to the drive in the rain, but the young
wife would make no allusion to it. Tbia
wan on a Monday. On Thursday, at the
same hour, the carriage came again, and
George'i wife went away in it. The
next week she went ont on three differ-ent
days; and twice, the weather being
fine, he noticed that she wore her very
best satin dress, the rioh blue brocade
that had been one of her wedding fuits.
Tiie affair was beginning to look very
black to Mark, for he had satisfied him-self
that George had been told nothing
whatever of these clandestine exonr-sions.
On the next M >nday he had a
carriage waiting, and when th* lady
went out again he directed his driver to
keep her well in sight. In this way he
followed her beyondthe aristocratic pre-ivne'.
s of the city, to a little house set
hack in a garden quite in the suburbs.
A very handsome foreign-looking man
met her at the door, and led her, with
many smiles, into the house.
M irk sent his carriage home and, in
spite of the oold, patiently waited. After
an interval of two hours Mrs. Downea'
carriage returned, the aame gentleman
put hvr carefully into it, and ihe must
havo driven at once home, for when
Mark passed the honse she waa sitting
in her plain merino dress at the window,
nursing his namesake. She ran to the
door and begged him to come in, but
Mark was full of his discovery, ond
answered, gruffly, 'Ask Gjorge to oome
to me after dinner; I have something to
tell him.'
George heard wh it his godfather had
|" ""■'• —'"• bia face half angry and half
incredulous. *It must nave oi-eu uiy
wifos sister,' he said.
Mark laughed scornfully at aw ]u a
defense, and, moreover stouty asserted
that it was Mrs. J>ownes, and not Mrs.
nownea' aister. 'Oome on Thursday,
«nd see for yonrself, George.'
'If I do, godfather, it will not bo be
oause I suspect my wife, but beoanso I
am sure to prove you wrong."
Still George thought it singular that
he could not by the most adroit ques-tioning
get from his wife any allusion
to these mysterious visits. At length he
said, 'E-nma, I will ask for Thursday
afternoon, and we will go out to Aldbo-rongh
Woods, and get the holly and
mistletoe for Christmaa. What do you
siy?' —
'I cin't go Thursday, Goorge dear; I
have so muoh to do.'
'What have you to do?'
'More than I oan tell you. Is it not
near Christmas, and does not that imply
all sorts of housekeeping duties? But
1 will go with you Friday, dear.'
George was a little cross at the refusal,
and answered gloomily, 'No; he had lost
the wish to go now.' Then both were
silent, and the evening was not a pleas-ant
one. All the next day he told him-self
that he would not go and watch his
wile Thursday, yoi when the day came
ho was sitting with his godfather at the
window. At the usual hour the carriage
arrived, and Mra. pjwnes, with her
hair as elaborately dressed as if she was
going to a Btate dinner at the bishop's
polaoe, ran down the steps, and was soon
driven rapidly away.
'Well, godfather,' he said, pleasantly,
'that is Emma, certainly, and she is very
remarkably dressed; but for all that, I
am sure she has some good reason for
what she is doing. I believe I will wait
until she tells me.'
'Don't be such a fool, George; go and
question your servants.'
After a little re flection,Gaorge oroased
to his own house and rang the bell.

his appearance, and wl en he asked

to a very lovely portrait of her.

spring. My lord asked me to have my
picture done, and papa paid for it in
order to surprise yon. I think, George
dear, you had bettor not let papa know
you have spoied his surprise.'
George felt more and more sorry aud
humiliated as he looked iu the pretty,
frank face, aud thought how cheerfully,
after all, she had taken the forestall-ment
of her Christmas secret.
"I will do as you say, Emma. Has
the signor plenty of work?'
'He is painting many of the principal
ladies in the city. The bishop thinks
very highly of him. Indeed, I have
seen his lordship there at nearly all my
visits.'
George let the mbject drop now as
quickly as poesiblo to F.mma; bnt he
talked a good deal about it—ind in no
very good temper—to his godfather.

Twenty Miles In Forty-six Minutes.
A very exciting race took place at
Kransville, Ind. The conditions wcro

should ride twenty miles, Jones re-mounting
at every half mile, against
Bedford's ten horses, Bedford to be al-where

'Is she not in the parlor, sir?'
•Yon know she is not. Where did she

'Indeed, sir, it is my business to mind
the children; the mistress knows her
own affairs, without the likes of me med-dling
in them.'
He turned round impatiently, went
back to Mark Bipon, and got an accurate
description of the bonse to whioh he had
traced Mrs. George; and in half an hour
the half-curious and half-angry husband
stopped at the pretty cottage. AU was

Deciding the Case by Sound.
Thcro has been considerable aianse-ment
in Chicago lately over a lawsuit in
which the proprietorship of a certain
violin is in question. About a year ago,
Mr. Draehe, a violiumaker, received an
order to make au in-trumoet for G.orge
Loesch, then leader of the orchestra at
Hooley's theater. Tho instrnraeut was
a fabrication of marvelous beauty and
fuultless tone, and found favor in the
fancy of Mr. Krause, tho first violinist
in the orchestra, who ordered aud re-ceived
a violin the exact counterpart of
the one obtained by Mr. Loesch, except
in tone. One was fluent and sweet,
while the other was harsh and 'talked
through its nose.' Mr. Kranse sol:; his
violin to his successor, Mr. Asbach.—
The instruments iu some way became
mixed, and Asbach accused Loesch of
having the wrong violin. The maker,
Mr. Draehe, was called upon to decide
which was Mr. 1. * soli's instrument, but
was unable to determine. Then Mr.
Asbach Hied ont a writ of replevin, and
claiming that ho was unlawfully de-prived
of his violin, had tho instrument
brought to eonrt. Neither could pick
out their own instrnrrent from any dif-ference
of appearance, and Ihe justice,
Mr. Kaufman, docided that the judg-ment
should be rendered by the decis-ion
of musical exotrts, wno were re-quested
to be prosent iu court last Sat-urday
afternoon to attend tho ransical
performance. The bow was wielded by
a performer, and from the tone Mr,
Loesch picked out his instrument and
the judge gave a decision accordingly,
muoh to tho disgust of Mr. Asbach.

Making Stained-Glass Windows.
A writer ia Harper's Weekly gives an
•i-ight of the immense amonut of care
an.l work nrcseeary to prepare the win-l.
iss for the elaboration of ohnroheaand
ither pnblio buildings. The design of
the window being determined npon, and
'he ca'toon or full-s 7 •,! drawing being
prepared, a kind of skeleton drawing ia
made, showing only the lines whioh in-dicate
the shape of each separate piece
of glass. I: is apparently not generally
understood that a window is not one
pieos of glass, to which are applied the
various colors displayed, bnt a number
of small pieces which are united by
grooved lead, which incloses each indi-vidual
fragment, and that eaoh different
color we see is the color of that particu-lar
piece of glass, the only painting ma-terial
employed being the dark-brown
pigment need to define the more deli-cate
and minute details. This skeleton,
or working drawing, then passes to the
cutting-room, where sheets of glass of
every imaginable shade are arranged in
racks, each bearing a number, by which
a particular tint is known. The draw-ing
being numbered on each separate
piece of glass by means of a frame con-taining
small pieces of every shade, and
each numbered according to the rack
containing the glass of that oolor, the
use of this frame renders unnecessary
tho tedious process of visiting eaoh rack
in search of the particular shade requir-ed;
the glass is laid bit by bit on tho
drawing, and each pieco is then cnt to
the required shape by means of a dia-mond.
After the glass is out, it passes
to tho painter, who, laying it over the
drawing, traces npon it with his brush
all the details of features, folds of dra-pery,
foliage, etc., as designed by the
artist. But as the action of the weather
and the continually varying conditions
of tho atmosphere would speedily re-move
every vestigo of paint if left in
this state, it is necessary to subject the
painted glass to the action of heat by
placing it for several hours in a kiln,
under the influence of whioh the paint
is fused into absolute affinity with the
glass, and becomes actually incorporated
with its substance. After this burning
process, it only remains for the differ-ent
pieces to be united with the grooved
leaden frame-work which binds the
whole together. The places whero the
leads join are then carefully roldered
together, and nothing remains but to
thoroughly work ovor the whole surface
with a thick kind of cement, whioh Alls
up any interstices between the glass and
fectly water-tight and weather-proof.

A Disgusted Man.
Tho other morning a citizen called at
a hardware store on Woodward aveuuo
and said ho wanted a key to a certain
door in his house, and he took np aud
carried away almost the first key handed
out to him. On his way down town,
after dinner, he stopped and exchanged
the key for another, explaining that the
first wouldn't fit. These changes took
place twico a day for the next four days,
the citizen being nuable to get hold of a
key to fit. On the sixth day he drove
up to the store with a door on a dray,
and e tiling to the proprietor ho said:
'Bring your box of keys out here and
we'll get a fit to that lock. Here I have
been running back and forth for abont
a week, and I might not have got a fit
for a wholo month if my wife had not
suggested that I bring the door down
here. S ime of these women are mighty
smart.'
'But why didn't you take tho lock off
and bring it down in your pocket?'
asked the dealer.
The buyer looked at him in a vacant
way, stared hard at the door, and sat
down on the curbstone with the remark:
'It's a wonder that the wholo family
wasn't sent to the fool-house tm years
ago!' _^___^_

When they serve yon brandy in Paris
it is brought iu a little caraffo marked

how many glasses are taken ont. When
you come to pay, the garcon has only
to look at the caraffc, and tho amount
remaining tells how much has been used.
This gave an ingenious gentleman an
idea. He would drink three petite ver-rri
and then pour in water so that it
would appear he had but one. He
thought nobody observed the mean
trick.
After two or three days this customer
found the brandy very feeble, and he
called the garcon.
'Garcon,' he said, 'what is the mattor
with this brandy?"
'It is the same, air.'
'That cannot be. Day before yester-day
it was delicions, to-day it is hardly
stronger than water.'
'I have the honor to inform monsieur
that it is not only the same brandy, bnt
that I have carefully given monsieur
every day the same bottle."
