Too Much for Her.
The half-uncor.Ecious woman wha lay prostrate in her husband's avme, and who, bub a few moments before, had succumbed to some sudden shock of which he was as yet in 'ignorance, pointed towards the kitchen. "She did it, ' she continued faintly. "Two months ago that girl came to us, as you know, in utter ignorance of the household work in utter ignorance of the simplest household work. During that interval I have taught her, little by little, day by day, everything that she knows, until at last she has become ' the most accomplished servant I ever had. And now " • Her husband raised her gently, while a look of mingled hatred nnd revenge stole over his face. " Quick ! "he muttered hoarsely. " What does this mean? What has she done to you?
