!" From the Adrian (Michigan) Times.l
The train from the west on a recent
afternoon brought to this city a Chicago
gentleman and his wife. They stopped
at one Of our hotels, and the next morn
ing after their arrival the gentleman
announcing some business in the coun-
try intimated his intention of proceeding
to transact it, and asked his wife to
accompany him. But this madam de-
clined to do, pleading as an excuse a
severe headache. Procuring a horse
and buggy the gentleman started for
the country, desiring to see q man who
resides about eight miles from the city,
and intending to be absent most Of the
day.
Soon after the departure of her lord,
madam so far recovered herself as to be
able to write q note and dispatch it to a
certain gentleman in this city, who Is
somewhat notorious for his gallantries.
| We suppress names for obvious reasons,
The recipient soon found time to call
on the fair writer at her room. But
now comes the startling denouement.
The husband of the invalid at the
hotel, soon after leaving the city, met
tho gentleman he was in search Of, thus
precluding the necessity of going the
whole distance to his house, and came
back some hours sooner than he was
expected. He went Immediately to his
room, being naturally anxious after his
| wife's health. The door was locked,
and the only effect Of his knock was a
somewhat irregular and suspicious COM
motion in the Interior Of the apartment.
In a low tone, but one that admitted OF
no Misunderstanding, he demanded that
the door be opened. Madam, attired in
q snowy robe de mutt, as he mad left her,
opened the door, and the husband en-
tered. At the fret glance there was no
sign Of any other inmate Of the apart
ment. But the husband wal not to be
deceived by appearances, and soon from
under the bed he fshed apair Of boots,
certainly not his. With no signs OF
anger no inquired Of Madam from
whence they came. OF course, she did
not know, they must have been left
there by some former occupant Of the
apartment. Now gentlemen are not ac-
customed to leave good boots in their
vacated apartments, and this our Chica-
60 husband knew. A wardrobe caught
his eye, and opening the door he dis
covered-the owner of the boots, our
fellow-citizen, who, beside being minus
his boots, was en- dIhabRk in several
other important particulars. ' o
Under such trying circumstances many
men would have lost their temper, and
a little scene in which pistols played a
prominent part might have ensued. But
a long residence amid the outstanding
influences Of Chicago had rendered this
injured husband superior to such ebul-
litions Of anger. "Dress yourself, sir"
said he to the gentleman in the ward
robe, Sand we'll go and take q drink:
Probably under the Same circumstances
should have acted as you have. Mary
ITO his wifel, pack your trunk, and be
ready to leave on the next train for the
west. Go home to your parents.
never wish to see you again." rr~
So said, 80 done. He carried out the
programme to the letter. Many men
are incapable of such superlative self
control.
