On Wednesday last, shortly after the arrival
- a
upon Mr.. NJ, and requested to know if such .
couple, describing the pair in question, were In
the house. Being answered ia the Affirmative,
he desired to be conducted to their apartment,
which being shown him, he flung open the door
and there, seated upon one chair, his legs luxu.
riousiy resting upon another, sat the gentleman,
while the lady bending over him was daintily
arranging his wayy hair. e
AT sight Of the apparition which thus burst
upon their view, the pair started, and looked
aghast, but as the intruder drew from his breast
revolver, the landlord placed himself between
the parties and demanded an explanation. The
story was soon told, the lady was the wife Of
the recent arrival, and eloped about week pre-
vious from her home in Lexington, KY, whence
her husband had traced her to her present
quarters with the intention of avenging his
wounded honor. In the meantime the gay Lo-
thario had sneaked out Of the room and left the
house, leaving his guilty partner to bear the
brunt of the storm alone.
For awhile she tried those unfailling re-
sources of woman, tears and Mysteries, and
then, while acknowledging her error she PAL
lated It by pleading GOODNESS upon his part,
which chilled her love; and impressed her with
the belief that he had ceased to care for her,
and how in dispair at the loss of his affection,
she had inprudently and in a moment OF rcck-
less insanity listened to the seductive pleadings
of his false friend; and then abe fell upon her
knees, and gazing upward through her tears,
her large and lustrous eyes fixed mournfulY
upon his, she implored him either to forgive or
kill her.
Our benedict was moved-hc cast one look at
the murderous implement he still held in his
hand, and then glanced at the beautiful figure at
his feet; it was moment of anxious doubt to
the host, who remained motionless spectator !;
but "beauty in tears" and supplant beauty at
that pshaw-the odds were all on One side
he threw the pistol from him-raised his worse
half to his bosom, and the next mornings train
bore them back to the fair city of Lexington.
