A WOMAE'S NERVE.
Successful Chase of an Erring
Husband.

lady in a buggy, fairly smother
ed in furs and robes, and driving
a pair of wiry horses. She stop.
ped for dinner at the Washington
House, and then left for Cham.
oersburg 1t seems that the lady
had been passing through some
interesting personal experiences.
She said she was the wife of a
certain DN Bluegrass, and that
they had a comfortable home in
Harrisburg. Her husband is one
Of those who travel with a mic 3,
team and go from town to town,
manufacturing medicine at the
hotel at which he stops and sell,
ing it to the "weak" and afflicted.
He visited this place about five
years ago, and several of our peo.
pie who invested in his decoc-
tions at that time, have reason to
remombe him.
Sometimes in making his trips
away from home he took his wife
with him, and sometimes he did
not.
During the fall he had been
away for some time, but small
weekly remittances from him
Kept them in touch. About four
weeks before Christmas the re-
mittances ceased, and she heard
nothing from him until she re-
celved letter from a friend say
ing that the doctor and woman
and baby were then at a hotel
at Princess Anne, Nd.
Being convinced that her
spouse needed looking after, but
being without funds, she appeal
ed to some of her relatives for
money but as she had married
much against the wishes of her
family, assistance was refused.
Then she fell back upon her own
resources. She pawned h e +
watch and jewelry, closed their
house, and with the money thus
raised went to Hagerstown where
she met her informant. Tele-
. hing to Princess Anne, it
I was learned that the party had
oeen there, but had gone to Cum
berland, Md. Going to Cum ber-
land Mrs. Bluegrass next located
them at Berlin, Somerset county.
Following to Berlin, she learned
that the party had been there but
had gone to Windber. She ar
rived at Windber in time to find
that they had left there. After
some time spent in telegraphing,
she located them at Berlin again,
out before she reached Berlin,
some one had informed the doc
tor thl some one was looking
for himN md he changed base
without g ng any instructions
about forwarding his mail.
Weary and disheartened, and
her money almost gone, it seem
ed that she must abandon the
chase, and with heavy heart she
retired for the night. While
sleeping she dreamed that the
party were at----a small
out-of-theway village, six or
eight miles from Berlin. In the
morning, she asked the landlord
whether there was such place.
He told her there was village of
that name, but said it would be a
most unlikely place to find them.
After some inquiry she found
that the woman and child were
there but that the man had gone
into the country. Waiting until
evening she procured team and
driver and went TO the place.
Alighting, from the buggy she
went into the hall of the inn, when
the landlord opened the parlor
door. AS she entered she saw
them standing by the stove, her
husband and the woman. When
the woman recognized her she ex
claimed, "My-" and tainted
dead away. The doctor SAID "Why
Mary, how did you get heres"
'Well, am here, all rightn'
she replied, "and you know what
has brought me-"
To make a long story short,
Mrs. Bluegrass says, her recreant
husband was glad to sign such
