A Disappointment.

= OR weeks and weeks he had been
! suspicious of his wife, but for
weeks and weeks he had carried a
smiling face and held her on his knee
as if he believed in her as he did In
his holy grandmother. All things come
to the husband who waits, and there
came an evening when a district mes
senger boy delivered a letter into the
wifes hands. The crafty husband
was hunting for collar button at the
moment, but he was not deceived. His
first impulse was to rush upon the
faithless wife and brain her or at
least break her neck. but he got grip
on himself and waited for more
complete vengeance.
At midnight that night, after pre-
tending sleep for two hours and after
making sure that the wife really SUM
bered, the husband crept out of bed
to go through her dress and secure the
letter. He moved inch by inch. He
held his breath Goose pimples formed
on his legs 1t took him just thirty
seven minutes by the clock to find her
pocket, but he persevered. and the
damnfng epistle was at last in his
hands In his heart he was vowing
to show no mercy, to cut her UP with
a dull natchet inch by inch, when he
suddenly heard her voice saying:
ct was going to pay 1t out of my own
pin money, John, but TIL be awfully
glad to have you take it off my
hards!"
shouted as he tore the letter from its
envelope.
