 Shanley's suspicious were aroused, and, after doing n little detective work on his own hook, he finally came to the conclusion that his wife had left with handsomer man than he. It is stated about a month ago Shanley found & largs number of love-letters in his wifes writing-desk, which she had unwitting. ly left open before leaving the house to go ont shopping.

Shanley did do but not, however. before his wife had sent the oldest boy to post her friend.
