HIS MOTHEB-IN-LAW. supper together in the restaurant, and after supper an idea occurred to Pertdex ter. "Yoti want to see the new comic op era, Mrs. Miller?" said he. "Don't say no. Get your wraps and come along. We're a couple of old Californians, and must not set up for ceremonies. You don't need a chaperon now, do you?' "I should say not, decidedly," said Mm Miller. "And I'll accept your in vitation." J Shan't be home until very late. Obliged to meet a man on business. Provoking deten tion. - H. P. "A man about to be mother-in-lawed is entitled to a little fun beforehand. They feed condemned men well before they hang them," said Pendexter to himself. It was a very charming opera, no other than "Erminie." And after the opera there was a promenade concert on the roof of the Casino, a glass of lemon ade for Mrs. Miller, a bottle of beer for himself. And they walked arm in arm back through the moonlit- streets of beautiful, wide awake New York. And he was very serious as he left her at the door of the hotel. "It won't do to go there again," he said. "But, Lord, what a fool I made of myself ten years ago!" He went home sadly and slowly. His Camilla opened the door for him in her dressing gown, with a China candlestick in her hand, in which fluttered an end of pink candle. She had been weeping and her nose was red. How girlish and immature she wa3, he thoxight. "You are very, very late," she said. "Didn't I say I would be?" he asked. He stalked up stairs. She did not follow. After some minutes he looked over the banister. Camilla sat upon the lower stair weeping, the wick of the candle flaring in a little pool of grease in the candlestick. "What's the matter?" he asked. "You never kissed me when you came in," sobbed Camilla. "It's the—the—the first time you ever forgot to do it." "Come up and be kissed," said Pen dexter. Camilla slowly climbed the stairs. Caresses were exchanged, "Her Henny Penny did not mean not to kiss his Cammy," thus Camilla. "Cammy doesn't know what business bothers are," said Mr. Pendexter. "Henny Penny is tired and worried with them; his Cammy must not be cross." "No, no; but Cammy wants to share all Henny Penny's troubles," said .Mra Pendexter. "Tell her all about it." Just then the street doorbell rang violently—not once, but sixteen times. "Oh, dear, dear; 1 believe it's dear ma!" cried Camilla. j Pendexter glanced at the picture over the chimney piece. "Just like her," he muttered as he went down stairs to open the door. A telegraph boy was just about to ring again. Pendexter snatched the envel ope he offered and signed as bidden, then rushed up stairs to peruse the mis sive. His Cammy was rushing about the room wringing her hands. ''A telegram i" she cried. ' 'Something has happened to ma!" Mr. Pendexter assumed a serious as pect. "Be calm, Cammy," he said. "If it ie the will of Providence that something has happened to her you mustn't rebel and all that, you know. Be calm." "I can't until I know what it is!" Mr. Pendexter opened the envelope and read the message he had sent to hia wife from the hotel. "Bother!" he said. "Oh, it's nothing, Cammy; only a message I sent you when I knew I should be detained. That wretched boy should have brought it at 7 o'clock." "Oh, Henny Penny," cried Cammy, "how relieved I am!" Then she sudden ly threw herself into his arms. "Cam my did not know her Henny Penny had sent her word," she said. "Oh, that's why you were frightened?" said Henny Penny. "Yes," sighed Cammy, "oh, so fright enedl And that man you had to see gave you all the bother?" "Yes, of course," said Pendexter; "yes, certainly." "What was his naughty name?" asked Cammy. "His name?" queried the guilty Pen dexter. Oh, his name was—er—Miller." "Cammy hates him for bothering her Henny Penny," said Mrs. Pendexter. Then she turned the gas out and slept the sleep of innocence. Mr. Pendexter's conscience, however, kept him awake some little while. He tossed about uneasily and sighed several times. He was thinking of the charm ing Mrs. Miller. He slept late next day. When he awoke a sound as of tinkling teacups met his ears. The house wa-9 small and the dining room was just be low his sleeping room. Camilla was taking breakfast. Some one was with her. "Oh, my prophetic soul, my mother in-law!" he gasped. Getting softly out of bed, he approached the. register and listened. "Do have another biscuit, *na, he heard Camilla say. * "No, really, dear," responded another female voice. "That husband of yours sleeps this morning." "He was out quite late last night," said Cammy, "and awfully bothered." "What about?" asked the motber-in law. "Oh, business," said Cammy. "Noth ing but business could keep him from me. Some dreadful man named Miller bothered him—l don't know how. Ho wasn't like himself when he got home; oh, not a bit! And the telegram he sent came after that, and I was terrified." "You are too nei'vous, my child," said the mother-in-law. "Oh, dear me, to* think of your being married, and I've Bo much to tell you. Last night 1 had the greatest fun. You know I used to" see a great many people when I had a share in that business in San Francisco, and there was one very nice little man—' bald, but not so bad looking—that I flirted with dreadfully. Well, yester-1 day, as I was on my way up to the hotel —I walked because I was so tired of sit ting—whom should I meet but that very man! Why, I hadn't seen him for ten years, and he was just delighted; he is (To be continued). L~~ OOK ! * ancy Chocolate Boxes in endless variety for Christmas Preeents. Call and inspect.—H. A.
