sioual glass OF wine.
But although Wilunskie did rushing
business and was the envy of all the
neighboring saloonkeepers he was not
happy. He was jealous OF his wife. He
saw her smile altogether too sweetiy on
young men who entered the saloon and

trade did not. satisfy him. He became
morose and sullen and frequently quar-
relied with his young wife.

with young men. Mrs. Wilunskie was
behind the bar. and rushing business
was being done. Mrs. Wilunskie seldom
