Jones was with four of his comrades
drinking in a saloon one night. Sud-
denly his wife came in. She went quietly
to the table and left a dinner pail in
the hands of the surprised husband, ex-
planning:
81 thought you were too busy to come
home for your supper and thought I
had better bring it here"
She left quietly as she had come.
Jones laughed mechanically. To relieve
the situation he invited his friends to
join him in eating.
The cover was removed, but the pail
was empty. In it was only piece of
paper, on which was written:
81 hope you will enjoy your supper.
