other day, who didn't want to obey her husband.
Her plan Of making a shopping tour to Portland
seemed to be blocked by the edict of her liege
lord forbidding the trip. She secured hack,

trail depot. The husband caught glimpse of the
retreating hack, and donning his oyercoat made

in Auburn they saw and recognized each other.
The lady turned, said word TO the hackman. and
apparently drove off home. The husband followed
leisurely, smiling at tie success oI his vigorous
pursuit. When he reached home his wie was nOt

lady home he had orders from her to drive to the
Grand Trunk depot where she took the train for
her Portland shopping tour,
