SHIVERED.
The Peculiar Mistake of a Bride
and Her Resolve to Not to Forgive
Another Proof That Truth Is
Stranger Than Fiction.

Mrs Louis Tooker young bride of
a few hours, slept In room in the
Imperial Hotel of New Haven, Conn,
Jan. II. In the next room, entirely un-
conscious she vas so close to him,
slept her husband. He thought she had
run away from him, angry because,
after their clandestine marriage, he
compelled her to kiss friend of his.
Next morning, reading in a newspa-
per that she was suspected of leaving
her husband, the spirited Mrs. Tooker
became so angry that she did leave
him; took her clothes and went home
to her mother.
Tooker had rushed into Police
Headquarters the evening before, and
begged the police to search for his
wife. They sent general alarm all
over the State. Tooker returned to
the Imperial Hotel, went to bed, hope
fully leaving his door unlocked the
gas burning. Tooker arose very early
in the morning and hurried to head
quarters for tidings of his wife. Later
Mrs. Tooker arose in her room,
dressed, went to breakfast. In the cor
ridor she bought a morning paper and
read that she had run away from her
husband.
What does this mean?" she indig-
nantly asked the hotel proprietor. Il
haven't run away from my husband.
I'm right here. He's run away from
me. don't know where he is"
did you sleep here last night?"
asked the astonished hotelman.
"Of course l did" said Mrs Tooker.
'My husband left me in the parlor
and went to celebrate the wedding
with the boys. l waited for him a
long time and then went to the room
he told me we were to occupy"
You went to the wrong room,"
groaned the hotel-man. "He slept in
, the room next to you"
The police had learned nothing of
his wife, and Tooker passed the morn
lag hunting for her Despairing, hun
cry, tired, he returned to the hotel for
dinner. His wife was still there, but
all she would say to his prayers for
forgiveness was:
You ran away from me. Now,
everybody has read l ran away from
you. I've had enough of you. I'm
going home to mamma" And packing
up her clothes she did go home. Took
er shivered and bought ticket for
Florida.
ITS too cold here" he said. "Tll
pass the winter in the south"

Molineux disliked Cornish because OF
quarrel between them in the Knick-
erbocker Athletic Club. The State has
shown a reason for hatred of Barnet
by indicating that Barnet had sup
planted Molineux in the affections of
Miss Blanche Cheseborough, now Mrs.
Roland B. Molineux.
One of these witnesses, colored SER
want girl. swore Miss Cheseborough
and Molineux lived together in West
Seventy-fifth street, and were there
known as Mr.. and Mrs. Cheseborough.
Another servant testified that when
Miss Cheseborough lived on West End
avenue Barnet, not Molineux, con-
stantly visited her.
