recall to mind how Mrs. Bill Tail OF
the old home town In Missouri
smoothed things out In her own
household. Bill was much inclined TO
dallying with the bowl that exhilar-
ated, and was also much given 10
flirtatious communings with the de-
cided brunettes OF the community.
Mrs. Tahl might have found ample
excuse for divorce. but she had an
other plan. One night Bill rolled In
home gloriously drunk.
Did Mrs. Tail weep and wall and
gnash her teeth? Did she ehide Bill?
She did not. She waited until her liese
lord and tanked.up spouse was snor-
ing peacefully. and then procuring a
ball Of sacking twine and heavy
needle, she proceeded to sew Bill up
In blanket Then she sat by his bed
side and awaited his awakening.
When Bill awoke he was hopelessly
and helplessly tied up. whereupcn
