Joy and expand under the teachings of

will do so, too. If they see your garden

Mary Stephens supposed her husband
was dead, he having left home many
years ago, and she married again in
July last. Stephens went to his wife
home recently. not intending to let
himself be known. His wife immedi-
ately recognized him, and, throwing
her arms about his neck and scream
ing 'My long lost husband" kissed
him. This aroused the jealousy of the
new husband, who struck her across
the neck with drawing knife he had
in his hand, seyering the jugular vein.
Stephens drew revolver and shot the
murderer, who in turn gave Stephens
cut across the back of the neck with
the drawing knife. Both men are said
to be fatally injured.-Loeiseilte Cotsr-
