While the Paramour Moves on to

No Forgiveness.

There is a man residing in this city. who
has u very pretty wife, with whom ne mas
been living on the best Of terms for a num-
Der of years. OF late, however, he. has no
ticed a decided change in her d to-
wards him. When he returns from his
usual labor, he ia not met with h a warm
welcome from her that used to character
ize her in former days. Added to this, con-
fident friends have whispered stories in his
ears that have caused the "old man." to
think a great deal. That his wife's atiec-
tions were going put toward another fellow
he had no doubt, and with the aid OF a
friend he soon found out who ''the fellow
was that looked like me" and instead OF
kicking up a rumpus, as most men would
have done under the circumstances, he
closely watched

and waited for a time to act. He had not
long to wait. A few days ago, his trusted
friend, who had known everything concern
ing this interesting affair from the begin
ming, informed the man with the tight
shoe" that preparations were on foot for a
grand exit on the part OF the wife and her
new love, and that Monday night last was
C00 Time ClOScu lOr UuclI departure III
preparations made by the silly pair were
as follows: She was to leave home after
dark, and repair to a certain point, and
would then be met by her paramour with a
buggy. The only thing she was to bring
along was good supply OF the collateral
which the husband had saved up for a
rainy day. Everything ready, they were
going to Anaconda in the buggy, and then
they were to strike out for Helena by rail;
from thence Washington Territory was to

like "old folks" and invest the

in some kind of business and live happily
together. But alas! things did not turn
| out as they had expected. As stated above,
the husband had some knowledge of what
was going on, and, OF course, he kept his
| weather eye open. He noticed the unusual
state of things that is sure to attend q pro-
ceeding of this kind. but was silent up to
| the time of his wife's departure. She had
removed the bag of money, containing
| about 81. 900 from it's place of concealment
| and had it sccreted around her clothes, and
was in all respects ready.
On Monday evening she donned her hat
| and cloak and said she was going to the
store for something and would be back in a
NV moments. But the old man was in nc
hurry for her to go, and approaching hel
he said: "Clara," 1--WE will call her Clara
"before you 60 out l wonld like for you to
give me that 81, 800; it is unsafe for you to
walk out with all that money about you
You may get robbed, you know" Before
| Clara could answer he continued: II know
your plans, and God knows | should not
object to their being carried out, but
MY MONEY DON'T CO."
OF course Clara was in a bad fix, and be-
ing built of the same kind of material as
most women, who, when ''scaught out
resort to crying, Clara went into hyster
les, and begged pardon, and said she was
enticed away; that she had never gwen tht
matter due consideration, and all thai
sort OF thing. She did not, nor never will
receive the forgiveness she pleaded for, and
we understand that Clara is bound to TAX
a trip under quite different circumstance
to what she expected. She will go East te
her parents, while her husband will doubt
less obtain a legal separation from her, n
having, it is said, sufficient evidence to OBJ
tain q divorce.
