Pomerania previously from some ot

A Sharp Woman.

Not long ago a young man and his
newly-made wife went to Chicago to
pass the first days of their honeymoon
In viewing the sights of the city. For
time nothing but pleasure came to
them, but in an evil hour the husband
fell In with ore of the many conf
dence men who infest the city, and
by him was introduced TO a select
company of the swindlers. The sharp
ers played their usual game, and one
evening the husband found himself
without money. His currency being
gone to ill the pockets of the swim
dlers, there was nothing left but TO
tell his wife aud make the best of il.
The wife suggested an application to
the police, but the husband shrunk
from making his foOlishness public.
Before he had lost his money the hus-
band had purchased tickets for one of
the theaters, and though hardly feel
ing in the mood for amusement, the
couple decided to use them. They
were hardly seated when the husband
whispered to his wife, There's the
man who robbed me, and without at
tracing any attention, pointed the
sharper out to her. With q woman's
quickness she at once decided on
plan of procedure. She told her hus-
band to leave her and take a seat in
remote part of the house. There was
something In her manner that COM
PEELED obedience, and he followed her
directions. The confidence man In
surveying the house noticed the lady
sitting alone, and he also noticed that
she was fair to look upon. His fire.
quent glances at her were returned,
and embOldened by her seeming ac-
quiescence he took the seat beside
her. They engaged in conversation,
and when the performance was con-
cluded he offered to escort her to her
hotel. She accepted, and when they
had arrived, in response to a hint
from him, she invited him to her
room. Once there he proposed bottle
of wine, and when it was brought dis
played a generous roll of greenbacks
in paying for 1t. The lady made some
excuse and left the room. In the hall
she met her wondering husband to
whom she made known the situation.
She then returned and found the
wine opened. Just as they were rails
ing the glasses to their lips, the hus-
band burst in. Without a word of
parley he seized the confidence man,
and after choking him till he was past
resistance, took the money from his
pocket, counted out the amount he
had gained by the robbery in the af-
ternoon, and then kicked him out of
the room. The sharper concluding
that discretion was the only means of
safety. hastily quit the house without
making any trouble. The wife, of
course, tainted after it was all over.
