MRS. MULCAHY'S REVENGE.

sibie Show of Escaping the
Wrath of His Bet
ter Half


There was no light in the Mulcahy
domicile.
Mrs Mulcahy was awake, neyerthe-
less. The reason! Mr.. Mulcahy had
come in. 1t was the third night that
week that Mr.. Mulcahy had stayed
out after II and Mrs. Mulcahy had
made up her mind to put an end to it..
in her loneliness she had resolved upon
a plan.
"Shure an Oill do ut" she said to
herself, and just then she heard the
side door close with a bang. That
meant that Mr.. AIulcahy had arrived.
Mrs. Mulcahy went to the top of the
stairs and listened. A shambling foot
fall from the hall below was carried
to her ears.
Done it agin," muttered Mrs. Null
cahy to herself, which meant that she
had concluded from the sounds that
Mr.. Mulcahy had dallied long with the
frothy bowl that evening.
She hastily went back into her room
and feigned sleep. BY and by Mr.
Mulcahy stumbled into the chamber
He leaned against the washstand to
take off his shoes. In the Pickering
ray of the electric light that shone
through the window Mrs Mulcahy
saw her worse seyen-eighths stagger
as though about to fall, but he caught
the door jamb in time. Mrs. Mulcahy
watched him from between half-ciosed
eyelds. He had succeeded in getting
off both shoes. Then he peeled his
coat and without going to further
trouble he threw himself on the bed.
Mrs. Mulcahy waited. She didn't
make sound. BY and by the heavy
breathing Of Mr. Mulcahy told her
that he was in deep sleep. That was
Mrs. Mulcahy's clew to act. She rose
quietly and stealthily crept to the bu-
reau. From a lower drawer she took
out Il clean sheet. This she threw
over Mr.. Mulcahy, with care that the
edges Of the sheet upon which he re-
posed and the edges of the one she
threw over him met. Then she tip
toed over to the stand by the window
and returned with Il needle in her
hand, threaded with a long string of
tough linen thread.
Without sound she sat down on
the edge of the bed and began her
work of the night She stitched the
edges of the two sheets together all
the way round, and when she had fin
ished she stepped one side to view her
work. There in the bag she had sewn
round him lay the form of Mr.. Null
cahy That wasn't all Mrs. Mulcahy
Went down stairs in her bare feet
She was gone 10 minutes ut least
And when She returned She carried in
her hand long, thick barrel stave.
She looked at the white-covered
form. Then she raised the stave high
above her head and down it came.
There was a yell from between the
sheets The sheets moved, but Mr..
Mulcahy couldn't get out. Again ana
again were the blows reigned on the
enlarged body Of Mr.. Mulcahy, and
Mrs. Mulcahy had only just begun
when the officer on the beat ratified the
front door his sleep broken by the
yells from the Mulcahy residence
Well Mr. ana Mrs Mulcahy were ar
rested, and the next morning Mr.. Null
cahy was fined SO in police court for
disturbing the peace.-Detroit Free
