row. Eva vowed, happen what

ball above described, when fellow
named Lambkin came to the Cove
and tell desperately in love with
Louise Dan, and as Tony was
quite bored with bis Irritation with
the belle of the Cove he effected Il
terrible jealousy, and with plea
that Louise had slighted him for
Lambkin, he quit visiting the false,
fair one, and at every public amuse-
ment Tony affected to be intoxica-
ted, in order to play some trick
upon the lovers. The Cove BOYS
who believed Tony sincere in his {
grief took his part and said, I

accordingly one dark and ugly
night the Cove boys, with Tony as q
