Mrs. Laughtou had found what she had been looking for all hef life the man undef her bed. Every night of her nearly thirty years' of existence this pretty little person had stooped "on her knees, before saying her prayers, and had investigated the space beneath, her bed,- a light brass affair, hung with a chintz valance ; had then peered beneah the dark recess of the dressing-case, and having looked in the deep drawer of the bureau and into th closet, she fastened her door and felt ias secure as a snail in a ahellT- As she never, In - this particular badness, seemed to have any confidence in Mr. Laughtori.ia spite of the fact that she admired him and adored him. neither I hia presence nor his absence ever made any variation in the performance.
