Cool Conduct OF "a Husband.

The train from the West on a recent
afternoon brought to this city 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 proceed
irg 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 horse
and buggy, the gentleman started for
the country, desiring to see 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 10 be
able to write note and dispatch it to a
certain gentleman in this city, who is
somewhat ro;orious for his galantries
We suppress names for obvious rea-
sons. The recipient soon found time to
call on the fair writer at her room
But Row comes the startling denoue-
mont.
The husband of the invalid at the
hotel, soon after leaving the city, met
the 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 low tone, but one that admitted of
no misunderstanding he demanded that
the door be opened. Madam, attired in
a snowy robe de mutt, as he had left
her, opened the door, and the husband
entered At the first glance there was
no sign of any other inmates of the
apartment. But the husband was not
to be deceived by appearances, and soon
from under the bed he ished pair of
boots, certainly not his. With no signs
of anger he 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 apart
ment. Now gentlemen are not accus-
toned to leave good boots in their
vacated apartments, and this our Chi
cago husband knew. A wardrobe caught
his eye, and opening the door he dis
covered-the owner of the boots, our
fellow citizen, who, besides being minus
his boots, was en- dishabllle in several
other important particulars.
Under such trying circumstances
many men would have lost their tenn
per, and little scene in which pistols
play prominent part might have en-
sued. But long residence amid the
outstanding influences of Chicago had
rendered this injured husband superior
to such ebulitions Of anger. "Dress
yourself sir" said be to the gentleman
in the wardrobe, land we'll go and take
drink. Probably under the same
circumstances [ should have acted as
you have, Mary (to his wife, 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"
So said so done He carried out
the programme to the letter. Many
men are incapable of such superlative
self ontrol-Adrian (uich J Times.
