She Loved Him After ALL.

n. curious row occurred on the trai,
which brought up the excursionists from
the Turner's picnic to Virginia City, Ncva
ga. Just as the train was leaving the
grounds, neatly attircd and intcrcstin.
| little German lady boarded one of the fla,
cars and began to weep bitterly The sym
pathles OF the passengers were aroused b,
| her grief, and when asked what was tht
matter she rcplicd:'
"Oh mine husband leaves ne for somt
OF those bat vimmins. Vot do you dink do,
man did1 lie dakes lrcc thinks nit dose
vlmmlns, AMI helps 'cm on dc urain. Ven
L says, "Fot for, Tom, you do dot" he
knocks nc down.
Here the passengers became very mucl,
aroused, and several offered to 20 and
thrash the husband if she would point him
out.
''Oh! DICT amt all, she continued, sob
blng.
What" exclaimed half dozen men,
else"
'Oh de worse ding married woman
ever hub to dake. (Boo, hoo,) lie sings
Bull Down Dot Pint Oh, my heart
will break sure. (3oo, hoo hoo-o-o y
Bull Down Dot Pint Shust dinl of dot.
nnd his luvn vlfel could go and drownl
myself after hcarin' him sing dot pad song. /"
Here the passengers found il impossible
TO restrain their laughter, and at this point
the husband got on the car, and seeing his
wife III tears, began to abuse her. Three
or the passengers rose up and said they
would break every bone in his body if he
didn't dry up. He found things quite
warm, and when suggestion was made to
pitch him of the car, he quietcd down at
once. Near the Mound House, however,
he found that several men from the next
car, whose sympathics he had enlisted,
were ready to help him, and lie AGAIN be-
came dcmonstrative. 1t was clear that a
row was pending and in view Of trouble
ahead, the ladies were sent to the rear of
the car The husband, who had been
threatened with expulsion, insrltcd one of
the men who took his wfc's part, and he
was knocked down. In an instant all
hands were in the fracas, and those who
had threatened to throw the husband Off
the train sprang in and attempted to do it
there and then. AS they were about to
pitch him over the railing, his injured wife
sprang in, and, embracing him, told tho
crowd to stand back. Giles nv busDant
de pest man vat ever lifcd. Now, YOU
git back, efcrybody. Don'd you lay vim
ger on him!"
This ludicrous scene set the bcligcrents s
to laughing, and some one remarked that
the woman was Il fool for taking her hus-
bands part after being hit At this several
men, who had been taking the husbands
part, remarked that they did not know that
he had been beating his wife, and felt sorry
;hat they had sided with him, and IN order
to show their change of heart, were about
to pitch him off themselves. AT this point
those who had threatened to throw him Off
in the first instance, took his part and
swore that no one should. touch him. All
this while the wife was kissing and en-
bracing her pugnacious lord, and sobbng
on his neck. AS the train nearcd Gold Hill
he vowed that he would commit suicide
and suddenly made rush to jump down
between the platforms Of two cars, but was
stopped by the crowd. At Gold Hill when
the'train stopped, he sprang over the rail-
ing, and ran off III tho darkness, followed
by his wife, crying out, ooh, Tom, vor the
lofe of heaven, holt on. :"
