Painful Suspense.

"My dear/' he said as he entered the house, "who is that gentleman across the street?" "I am not sure, but'l think he is an old beau of mine.” “How long has he been waving his handkerchief ?” "Oh, more than half an hour.” "Is he faying to flirt with you?” "That’s just what annoys me. He may mean it for me, or the lady in the bay-window above. If it’s for me I ought to know it, and if it’s for her Til never speak to the shame-faced thing so long as I live! Oh, George! you don’t know now vexatious it is to have roomers about you? I wish we had a little cottage of our own.” —Free Pt**B. ' ' ', , T \
