response.
1.-THE nobest feature Of the whole busi-
ness" 1 continued sis that Mr.. Roberts
wants TO do what is right. He doesn't
deny that he's got three Of the wives,
and he tries to bear up bravely. He as
serts that he welded them at a time
when there were no limitations on a
mans indiscretion-that Is, when he could
marry as many women as he wanted
and that now he's going TO stick by
them. lie says that no pledges OF his
State, made subsequent TO these mis-
takes of his life, shall cause him to give
those women the grand bounce. Roberts
doesn't think the Church and State cut
any figure with matrimony. He would
rather bear a yoke that gals than break
his word with those three wives"
A CLEAN Of triumph came over her face
as she quickly replied:

ing, you have the impotence to aurn
round here at the last minute and admit
that this fellow, even in the face OF
prosecution and political degradation,

folks than anything ever heard. Thinks
it's his duty to stick by em, does he?
Duty, the cats foot. He knows he couldn't

Seems to me you'd better hush right up
now. Go upstairs and put that baby TO
sleep, you old blunderbuss. Then I'll
come up and put you to bed. Git, now,
I'm tired of your foolishness."
