as a natural consequence everybody

least entitled to a suspension OF Judg-

fierce blaze of the hurrying, skurrylng
civilization of the modern world. For
fifteen months he has been as If he

BY THE DIM LIGHT OF GAS LAMP

BY The DIM LIGHT OF GAS LAMP
A young married woman who be-
longed to a charity club, and some
times had to go out alone after dark,
was very much afraid of being stop
ped and robbed, says London Opin-
ion. Her husband disliked to provide
her with a revolver, but he bought a
punching bag, and showed her how to
use her fists and where to place the
most telling blow in case of moles-
tation
below the belt, mind you," he ad-
jured her; below the belt. Such
blow, if properly planted, will make
a man sorry quicker than anything
If any one steps out in front of you,
your course will be easy; if he comes
up behind you, swing round sudden
ly and strike out-hard. The robber
will repent of his evil ways in
hurry"
That night was the brides late even
ing, and she happened to be coming up
the street just in front of her husband
when he saw her, and the spirit of
mischief took possession of him.
Wonder if she'd really do as I told
her or if her little fists would hurt
any one?" he pondered.
Two seconds later he found out.
Walking up behind his wife, he laid
a heavy hand upon her shoulder. He
had no time in which to say any
thing. and she made no effort in that
direction She simply obeyed his in
structions to the letter, swinging round
with a suddenness which complete
ly disconnected him, and delivered a
blow that made all the rest of his
predictions come true.
Then she fled home with the spec
and energy of a frightened deer, not
even waiting to cast a single glance
at the discounted man who had, as she
supposed, endeavored to rob her. She
passed the remainder of the evening
in alternately weeping out her ner-
yousness upon her husbands shoulder
and wondering why he looked 81
