 George Rowley, who resides just out side of Waterville or the Bristol road, has been playing in hard luck the past few years, but his cup or sorrow never was filled to over flowing until the present week. when ms Wife decoyed him away from the house and during his absence herself anu another man packed up most of the furniture and decamped, taking With them the two children. a boy, '. and girl. 6. The woman left him couple Of times before. but they patched things up and went together again and for g. time it looked as though they thought tue world of each other, but, judging by recent develop uents, the woman was only waiting 'SA >AAA SPRoA AAAAIJ LS OO tALlSS Qp III good shape. It seems that she decid- ed to skip last Thursday and in order to get her husband out of the way she mailed him a letter, and, not sus- pecting that there was anything wrong he took it in good faith and knowing the alleged author, he made up his mind to call upon him, as requested. The communication reads as follows:
 Terryville, Jan 24, 1901. MT George Rowley:
 Dear Friend: Be sure and come to my house without fail at ? o'clock Fri day. as l want to see you about the turbine my brother has got. There is another man coming on Saturday to see it, but we give you the first chance as we would like you to have it.
 l remain your affectionate friend,
 RICHARD WOOD.
 MT Rowley knows MT Wood very well and left for the place Friday, but when he got there he was in- formed that there must be some mis- take about the letter. MT Wood was ignorant of the letter and it's contents, and then MT Rowley returned home, wondering what it all meant. When he reached the house, it was tenant less and stripped of about everything ludU Uc cAIIlGd aNiS "1lhouI too much effort, not even a towel being left him to wipe his face with. Upon inquiry. he learned that shortly after he left for Terryville a dark man in red-geared wagon stopped at the | house and that the household furnish ings were piled onto the wagon by his { wife and this strange man and that as 1 soon as they had all the wagon would 1 hold, they drove away in the direction i of Waterbury, apparently in the best of spirits. MT Row1ey has put the | prosecuting attorney in possession o1 all the facts and all effort is now be | ing made to locate the parties. MI Rowley appears to be q hard working l man and states that the two ch1ldreI his wife took away are as good as any one could wish for and that he Is go 1 Ing to keep up looking for them unu he finds them.
 It was a great trick and the woman must have been grinning in her sleeve when she saw her husband hurryine off to Tergyville to get ahead Of thf other fellow in the scramble for tht water wheel It was pretty hart dose and the man feels it keenly. | would not have been so bad 1T lh' | children had been left in the house but the idea of taking them away ol q racket of that kind Is enough to SC a man crazy. The woman must be 't | corker.'' as the man said of his wife after she had blackened his eyes, aht the man who was i'll the game WILL her is q demon of the very "ors type. It is too bad that the law doe not make an example of. some or thos rascals who are i'll the business 0 wrccking homes.
