OF course not. Pll keep it as dark as the
hair on a black cat at midnight, replied the
reporter to the above inquiry, doubtfully pro
pounded by shining light Of the st. Pau
bar, as he intimated something about tbs
pranks of a citizen who put up '.joke'' or
his wife, and was afterwards called to time
while playing the role Of gallant in company
with a couple of lower town girls, to whom
a buggy ride with oysters and wine thrown in
is as acceptable from a benedict as bachelor

upon the young limb of the bench
proceeded to unbosom himself of the story.
The affair happened on Wednesday night, hav
ing its inception on the Como road and cul-
minatiug on Ninth street with couple OF
ampering girls, crushed husband and the
notes of the female organ shrieking in un.
lovely falsettO for policeman (whether to
arrest the retiring females or the migrate hus-
band is problematcal) as 4 fitting finale.
To make a long story short the adventure,
which may find solution in the divorce

In West st. Paul there resides dispenser OF
the lactea fluid whose name for short NAV be
given as GarnardO; this same GarnardO is q

Nothing eyentfnl happened until they had
driven some distance on the Como road
Suddenly storm blew up, not of the ele-
ments, but a terrific domestic simeon. They
had words, hot, burning words; she re-
preached and he recriminated. Then he be-
came wrath to desperation, and the devil at
his elbow urged him to play mean trick. He
hearkened to the arch-enemy, and. jumping
from the buggy, he unhitched the horse,
jumped on the quadruped and started on a
swift gallop for the city, leaving his discon-
ISOLATE better half alone in The buggy. This

down the street, she accosted them
and was in the act of relating her
woes, when a carriage was driven
by. It contained her spiteful husband, aud,

mutual. He dashed his horses and driving
around the block, he dismissed the women.

they proceeded to do instanter. Meantime
the wife, who was shouting ''police," over

They held sharp and decisive conversation
Attracted by the cries of the woman, a crowd
began to assemble. To avoid exposure, prob
ably, she jumped into the buggy and he drove
r~pidly off. A curtain is drawn ON what fol.
