: professional gentleman - came here
recently with & charming wife, made and
rpeul cu her plenty of money. The lady,
who bad been widow previous to her
marriage with our hero, wished 10 send
her two boys North to 8 school. The
iaove, however, WAC defeated from time to
time, until one day her husband was called
away Gown to Helena. Daring his ab-
sence she took n etter from TIE postOflce
intended for iler w0rser halt, which arous-
81 suspicious in her mind Of the most hor-
lible character. Something was decayeA
in Denmark. There was an Ethiopian in
the wo0dpile. Her ol2tactories detected
The presence ot q mouse. She was a
smart woman, and made no unnecessary
fuss over the matter, but, as soon IS her
husband returned, she insisted on taking
Ter sons Immediately to-an educational
Institution in Ohio
The scheme WAS not opposed III this III
stance, Tor sone reason Or other. SO she
started oil without delay, TO lie absent
fortnight or three weeks. Instead OF max
ing the whole journey IS contemplated,
size only went TO Cairo, and there irtrust-
ing tie children IL the care OF q friend,
she turned about and came back to the
city by the first boat, arriving here in the
middle of the night. In spite of al the
circumstances Of the captain, she took q
carriage for her husbands rooms, and
knocked for atmittanee at his door When
he opened it she pushed by him, end
gained aImittance before he recognized
her. He expressed great surprise at see
ing her go son, bnt this she did not
heed, advancing still to his do,mitorv.
He interposed and endeavored to dis
suade her from entering, telling her that
Dr.. So-and-So. u friend of his, was spend
ing the night with him, and had Just
gone to bed. This, however, did not step
her. She pushed ahead, Notwithstanding
his hating excuses and opposition, and
forced an entrance into his bedroom.
There she found very pretty young wo-
man occupying the place that she supposed
should belong only to her. You must
imagine the explosion that took place; we
have not words to describe it. The guilty
husband was terrified, and offered TO turn
the cause of the trouble ont of doors into
the street. To this the last conner an
swered most magnanimously: "It she is
good enough to occupy your bed, she is
altogether too good to be exposed to the
inclemency OF a stormy night ike this. :"
She was allowed to stay. During the
weary, wretched hours of the night al
explanation took place, when it came
nut that the seeming frail one was mar
red also to the professional man, and,
still more wonderful, she was the real
wife by priority of marriage. This gave
different phase to matters, Immediately.
He had welded them both within year,
but the last one possessed what little of
true affection he was capable of experien-
cling. On the next day there was COM
promise effected. He wished to live with
the pretty widow and detested his real
wife. The latter agreed to assist in get
ting divorce for a certain sum of money,
while the other, to protect herself, could
Go no less than promise to wait for sep
aration. The new husband and wife went
North to carry into effect their resolution.
Meanwhile the widow became disguised,
and returned to her friends near Vicks-
burg, where she has plantation. When
the gay deceiver returns he will find HIM
self minus both wives
