FIREMAN WAS TOO FOND FOR her.

Missing Wife.
THE POLICE KEEPING UP THE RUNl

Jacob Fireman, Hebrew, short OF stat
ure. voluble of tongue and with whiskers
that the wind sighs to blow through, has lost
his wife. Mrs. Fireman, who is a GENTLE
and 20 years younger than her lord, who
acknowledges to 45 years, has departed. She
left in an express wagon, but without sound
ing of trumpet or beating of drum.
Nine months ago. when the fragrance of
June roses were disputing with the usual
city odors for the possession of the atmos-
phere, Fireman took to his heart and home
blushing and pretty bride. She was small,
plump and vivacious, and the question of
creed was swallowed up in the ardor of the
universal religion of love Fireman is a
salesman. and earns good salary, the major
portion Of which he intimated he won Id
squander on the young lady who took his
name and possessed his heart. During the
honeymoon the long days of June were
all too short for the married lovers to show
how devoted they were to each other, but
as the davs shortened and became drear and
dark, the wings of Cupid and his side part
ner Hymen appear to have moulted, as
they did not fly as airily and sprightly as
of yore.
Her Husband Was a Bore.
Mrs. Fireman loved society. That is, she
liked to make calls on the friends of her
maijenhood. Like all young brides, she
wanted to tell her girl friends what good
time she had keeping house. how she
managed her husband, and such lit
tie trihes. or course. while exchaDg-
ing these tender condolences, she did
not want any horrid men around and it an
noyed her when her husband insisted upon ac-
companying her on these visits. Mrs. Erie.
man finally persuaded herself that her husband
was jealous, but this the latter denies. Never
theless, with the peculiar logic of woman who
says her husband does not love unless he is
jealous, and when he is. declares he is
nuisance, Mrs. Fireman arrived at the conclu-
sion that she was abused
There we're one two little Quarrels, but
they did not amount to much. Mr.. Fireman
was as devoted as ever, and his wife found it
difficult to tell him that that was the trouble.
She therefore switched off from that subject.
and fell back on the financial question. which
must have been the serpent which entered the
Garden of Eden. This was good, safe ground
on which to dispute, and large chunks of logic
were used up in discussing the necessity and
propriety of purchasing articles of attire.

Three months ago Fireman and his wife

Officer Fowler wanted to search the boat, but
