nation Of an event which shall make
them happy, as they suppose. The
desired point was soon reached in
this ease-thc usual legal form was
duly observed and the responses of
the rich old groom and blushing
young bride we're prompt and unre-
served as is custOmsry OF such oeca-
sions on such occaslons-and the
twain were made one flesh.
For a time. as is generally the
case, matters went along smoothly,
the old man being entirely satisfied
with his young wife and the wife en-
joying free use Of the old mans
money. But eventually married life
became an old story to the young
bride and she began TO feel that
while money is very good in its place
it makes very poor husband. In
short, her better feelings-the foun-
tains from whence flow pure affection
began to assert their supremacy
She began to find out that she was
capable of loving somebody, and at
the anne time discovered shat she did
not love the man whom she had mar
ried. Under the happy influences of
married life the old man had renewed
his age so that she saw no escape
from her present dilemma through
the early demise of her husband
His habits were also good and she
could not, therefore, procure a di-
voree and liberal alimony.
Thus situated, she was open to re-
ceiye the sympathy Of almost any
young man and she became aequaint-
ed with a Tifin "sport," ''fast"
young fellow who appreciated her
(of course) sympathized
with her, won her affections, and
proposed an elopement, stipulating
that the woman should "bleed" the
old gentleman to the full extent of
her ability. By various false pre-
lenses she succeeded in getting about
$500, when the two-the truant wife
and the "sport'9started off on
pleasure tour. OF course they had
heard much about Toledo and it was
very natural that they should wend
their way to this city. Arriving
here, they put up at a hotel, regis
.ered as man end wife, and spent a
'ew days in looking at the sights,
Fhen they left Cor some other field Of
observation.
Soon after they had left, the old
nan arrived in our city, with deadly
in his pockets and blood in
ais eye, searching for the man who
lad robbed him Of his wife and the
woman who had robbed him Of his
money. His anger was up to fever
neat and his threats of vengeance
we're blood chilling. Finally, he met
/ friend who talked the whole sub
eet over to him. After much per-
uading the old gentleman decided to
axe the matter philosophieally, re-
urn home, let the truant couple work |
mt their own misery, procure di-
-orce, and prepare for another matri-
nouial alliance and may he be more
ortunate the next time.
