I went.of course. I found Louise just as 1 had expected to find her—proud of her conquest, and yet half dreading the man who, in the intercourse of married life, would soon fathom her worthless

heart.

This was granted, and our comedian took a seat in one corner and silenUy rehi-arsed his ]iart fur the even ingl At last theeqnerry in waiting called out the name of tbu actor, who. forgetting ho had already donned hi* hat, quickly snatcheil uji a tall shim-r from a window lodge, and cqnip|ieil enU-rod theandience chain her. The king, astonished at the ex traorelinary Apparition, burst into a hearty langh, while the actor was dumfoundod at this exMbitiun of hilarity on the part of the monarch.
