"Rnie Good Time," who has quite Q

OF the female persuasion, who conferred

"Rlde Good Time" is not so well known

| the certificate OF his marriage, several
| summers ago. Billies has been wont to
| deport himself, while in female company, in
| a n,anuer more becoming sparking blood
| than a staid man OF family. The stories
| OF his escapades were .Doised around and
| reached the ears OF Mnies wife. ~
J Ruinors came thick and fast and the
4 good wife, at first 10th to believe. i'll

came down the street to the trysting place

She tripped downthe steps and ran tolreet

1 Mrs. Billie got there first and made him
| aware of her presence by q singing cut

vanished from HBie's face. Again and
| again the whip descended, while poor Billie
tried In vain tonvoid the curling, cutting

He made q rush for the whip but a heavy
| blow administered by the strong arm OF
| the stalwart woman repelled him. Billie
gave up the fight and started on q run with
his wife within whipping distance aud
| the weapon came 10 contact with the mans
back at every jump. Fear gave him wings
| and when Billie went around the corner
| of Fifteenth street he was still covering
ground at a'two minute gait.
Mrs. billie Good Time then slleathed
her weapon and departed for her home
in Alexander's court The. married wo-
