"When Emmett was here he limited
at some trouble he had had thar caused
his drinking. Was there any thing in
that?"
Everything. 1, ia just that trouble
that made and makes Emmett act rs
he dies. He is Of warm. afi.ctionate,
impulsive disposition. His wife. on
the contrary, is OF q cold uusym-
pathetic nature. Joe Emmett dearly
loves his wife and child. Three years
ago he settled 6fty thousand dollars on
them. But his wife is not Of that af-
fectionate caliber 50 necessary in all
good wives. and 30 requisite tn mmet.

jealous II he chances t. be away from
her Ten minutes more than the proper
time. If he is with friend Or some
member ofhis company, or Transferring
business =, it matters not. she will in-
sist that he hiss been uutai,hfu to her.
No matter what he saws she will not
listen. Then Joe gets discouraged and
takes to drink. Instead Of meeting
with forgiveness from his wife, she
shows him the door, tells him to 90
that she don't want To see his face.
and thus does it continue. During
the present debauch innumerable tele-
grams and letters were sent To her, and
ne never received nm answer. Not
finding me in New York. l suppose he
went To Albany to become reconciled
to her. Not meeting with the receo- |
lion he expected it is probable that
they had trouble. She ordered him
to leave the house more than once.

many notes from women seeking in

these letters came i,Om what are prr-

Emmet would throw them to bis w,fe, |,
