struck him just right; but I'm not so
certain about the woman. Look at
these finger marks on her throat"
''The very DEVILS in the woman, any
holc ~ said the officer, as he surveyed
the scene. Hadn't better fetch the
doctor ~
That dignitary was soon brought and
the proper restoratives applied.
''Did dhekiH me ?" questioned the poor
wife wildly, as she arose to a sitting POS
ture and looked anxiously around the
room. 80, my God Ihave killed hinl'''
she shrieked, as she saw the PROSTATE
form of her unconscious lord, as he lay
quivering beside her.
go, no. Don't be alarmed, madam.
He'll be all right presently" said Henry
Lee. II laid him out on purpose to keep
him from killing you"
Gradually the woman awoke to COM
plete consciousness. Though stagger-
ing beneath the weight of mental and
physical injuries, she nevertheless COM
pretended the situation, and womanlike
was ready to act at once. Turning to
the officer, she said, 'NIr. Green and
will be imprisoned and fined if the news
of this encounter reaches official head
quarters. Please say nothing about it,
and here's hundred dollar bill that you
can keep for pocket change"
"You forget my official duty, ma'am," ("
was the regretful reply, as the policeman
glanced wistfully at the erisp-looking
greenbacks, and possibly thought of
prospective drinks.
''No, / DON'T" was the quick rejoinder.
''If you take us to prison, neither of us
will complain against the other, and
you'll have your trouble for your pains.
What is your fee, doctor? Remember,
please, to make it large enough to plas-
ter your conscience sufficiently to enable
you to keep your tongue still on the
street"
The doctor hesitated, and fresh,
crisp note, equal to that just received by
the policeman, was thrust into his hands.
Whether that sum was satisfactory or
not, deponent does not undertake to say;
but no arrests were made, and the pub
lie mind was duly informed ofthe affray
in the columns of the EUening Buglc, in
the following reliable squib:
A WOMAN IL THE CASE.
This morning as one Of our most respecta-
bic citizens, who is shortly to become Bene-
Dict was sitting peaceably in his bachelor apart
ments, enjoying the prospect OF rapidly ap-
preaching connubial happiness, he was in
truded upon and assaulted by a notorious but
mysterious hand, who, being Jealous Of her fair
and legitimate rival, fell upon him ike tigress
and tore his hair fcarfuliy. The gentleman
held her at bay as well as possible until
q third party came 10 his assistance who
booted the frail charmer out OF doors. When
women tall they descend so much lower than
men can go, that it is little wonder that the
better classes OF our citizens fear their ap-
preaching political equality with themselves
Doubtless the harridan who thus assaulted our
est4mable friend belongs 10 the strong ng-mlnded'
class, who are a perpetual libel upon woman
hood and a lasting disgrace to manhood, be-
cause they want to vote. We congratulate the
their determination, not TO mingle with disor-
derly women IN demand for privileges which
will forever unsex and disgrace them. Il is
feared that our friend Bob will need a wig for a
season.
The fact was, as the reader perceives,
that the policeman and physician were
!. alike Modified by the hundred dollar
conscience plaster, and the reporter oi
the Bugle was slightly hoaxed by the
civil officer when asked too many ques-
tions, hence he had the above report.
The husband and wife and Henry Lee
were soon left alone in the bachelor
apartments. The former recovered from
Henry's well-administered blow suffi.
ciently to enable him to converse freely
and a long council was held in which il
was deemed expedient to transpor
Robert Green TO the Sandwich Islands
on an outgoing vessel.
Henry Lee, seeing that the mysteriou
woman held great advantage, was con
tent to allow her to manage the denOue
Dlent of the tragedy, and he listened t.
her words of wisdom in supreme aston
ishment.
