was in the habit of kissing the cook, a
pretty German girl, by the by, and resolved
to detect him in the act. After watching
four days, she heard him come in one
evening and gently pass through into the
kitchen. Now, Katie was out that evening
and the kitchen was dark. Burning with
jealousy, the wife took soma matches in her
hand, and, hastily placing her shawl over
her head, as Katie often did, she entered
the kitchen by the back door, and was
alamst Immediately seized and embraced
and kissed in the most ardent manner.
With her heart almost bursting with
rage and jealousy, the injured wife prepared
to administer a terrible rebulSe to Ler
faithless spouse.
Tearing herself from his embrace, she
struck a match and stood face to face with
Katie's bean, one of the factory boys. Her
husband says his wife has never treated
