THE PLIGHT OF A NEWLY MAR
RIED COUPLE.
Fire and Water Ruin Their PRETTY
House.

Fire and Water Ruin Their Pretty
House.
Mr. and Mrs. Boutell had been
married only about month. One
evening they went to the theatre
and on coming home found the
street filled with people and a fire
engine standing on the corner.
Finally they got near enough to
see that it was their own house
which was burned.
Mrs. Boutelle naturally felt
very badly over the loss of their
coy home and cried bitterly.
Some friends tried to console her
and partially succeeded. Mr..
Boutelle was a man of consider
able means, and just as soon as
he could he slipped down to the
telegraph office and wrote Want
Advertisement, which was sent to
The Sunday Globe. The next
day he picked out one of the
large number of replies receiv-
ed and went to see the fat. It
just suited him. Then he at once
had it furnished. and inside of a
week Mrs. Boutelle was once
more in a coy home she could
call her own.
