Sorry He Fooled His Wife.


Many Torontonians have noticed OF late that
a prominent business man who was absent

Moro than one person has asked George what
caused his lameness but without elioitinR the
facts: The cat leaked out OF the bag the other

About a month ago tho business mans wife
got the idea that she ought to have a revolver
in the house. The husband prot ested in vain.
She was dead set on having one and she got

about having something that she would never
Ing he would return IN few hours.
Shortly after the door closed behind him
his wife was attracted by the sound of foot
steps up stairs, Her first impulse was to
scream. Her second to run next door and
ask assistance. Then she thought OF the re-
yolyer. and OF her husbands laughing taunts
that she was afraid to handle II. Going to the
drawer she secured 1t. as the sound Of tho
stcalthy footsteps were cose to the top land
door, she peered into the dar kness and In .
trembling voice demanded to know who was
there. She fancied she heard a low laugh and
then saw the dim outline Of a man starting
to descend.
Stay back or will shoot" she said. as sho
pointed In the direction OF the figure. There
was one moro stop. report. and the man fell
down stairs with a laundering crash. and lay
unconscious almost at her feet. One look
showed himto be her husband. Then there
was piercing scream and when some nelgh-
bors forced their way In tho two were lying
sensoloss In a pool of blood.
The husband has Just recovered, but Will be
lame for life. and 1t Is safe to say that he will
never try to ftishten his wife again.
