The old watchman asked, in a growling undertone, what he had done to deserve

all this.

"You must understand that I'd had long talks with my poor husband before wo were married, and it was definitely understood that I was to be master. In married life one has to lead, and the other

has to follow, and I decided that it would

be better for all parties that I should-be the one to lead. So altor wo was married I arranged, you see, that he should always be in by half-past nine of an evening, and take off his boots at once and clean them

"I warned him before I went, us plainly as I could speak, that me not being at home was not to make the slightest differ- ence to his time for coming in, and he pro- mised faithfully that he wouldn't be a winute later than half-past nine. I let him give me a kiss and off I started.

"I'm quite prepared to admit that I stayed on later than I had intended to do.

You know how it is when you meet rela- tives; one word leads to another; there's a row before you know where you are, and you can't very well leave in the midst of it. When I reached home (I'd been going over on the way what I should say to him if he complained of being kept up), I let meself in with the latch-key, and the first thing I noticed was no light! Not a speck of light anywhere. I made me way somehow into the sitting-roum, and after knocking over nearly everything in the place, I man- aged to find the lucifer matches. When I realised that he wasn't there, my first idea was to burst into tears, but I could see directly that wouldn't be much use, so I just sat down in the easy chair without taking me bonnet off and waited.

"Eleven o'clock struck, and he never came in. Half-past eleven and no signs of him. Twelve o'clock struck, and then I began to get mad. I could see it all. He'd guessed that I should stay on late; he was out with a lot of men that were no use to him; he'd come in presently reeking with tobacco-smoke. Presently I began to make up my mind that I wouldn't cudure such conduct on his part. I'd learn him a lesson that he wouldn't casily forgot.

Both in Berlin and in Paris, the best informed circles assure us that any warlike measures takon by Japan in South Corca would not be a case of war for Russia: If the Russian answer is re- ceived favourably in Tokio, Admiral Aloxieff will start at once for St. Petersburg.
