When Harry Lee and Nina Bennett were wed both the Lees and Bennetts were pleased, The friends of the happy couple | were pleased. “They will get along like two turtle doves,” was the general verdict. They had been married just two years, and their baby was ten months old, when the following things hap- pened: A boil made its appearance on Lee's leg and began to ache. Some one stole his chickens, His collie dog was fool enough to chase a rabbit so far into the next county that he lost himself. A party to whom he had loaned $200 went into bankruptey. Mrs. Lee had toothache, Baby had colic. Up to this date it had been fair weather with the Lees. Nothing had oce 'd to provoke dissension, Young Mr. Lee came home fairly longing to kick the dog. His wife had been wishing for an hour past that she could kick a cat. It was the wife who touched the match, They were at the table and had been rather shy of conversation, when she observed: “I gee that, we are to have a circus next week.” “Yum!” growled the husband. “Will we go?" “Not by a darned sight! Haven't we had enough circus right here at home the past week to last us for the next five years?" “And who's to blame for it?"” asked the wife, “I'm not saying.” “That means you think I am, and it is mean of you! Did I cause your boil ?" “Never mind.” “But I will mind. I am not going to be blamed unjustly, I have had something to try my patience every hour for days, but I haven't snapped you up.” six leghorn Ten minutes later the husband put |~ on his hat, and without saying a word he walked off, “We'll see who gets the best of that!" said the wife as she looked after him. Twenty minutes later, without hav- ing cleared off the table, she was en route for her father's house. “Harry and I have separated!” was the announcement she made as her mother met her at the door. Harry had gone direct to his wid- owed mother’s home, and in response to her anxious Inquiries as to why he looked so broken up, he said: “I fear that Nina and I must part!” “But why?” “She has no care for my feelings.” He told his story, but the mother sald little. When he had departed she sent word to Nina's mother to come over, and then learned that the wife had left her house. Then the two mothers sat down to talk and plan, They were mothers-in-law worth having. Nina's mother went home and sald to the weeping bride-wife: “My dear, you have done just right!” “I—I thought you might blame me.” “Not a single bit, nor does his mother. She says she wonders how vou managed to live with Harry for a single month.” “Why, Harry has always been kind and good!"” protested the surprised wife. “Don't seek to excuse him. If any- thing ails you he has no sympathy. Let him have a headache and he must | play the booby." “Why, mother, he is never a booby." “If he says a thing is so he won't allow you to dispute him."” “But he has often given in to me. “You poor child, how sacrificing you Father will go with you to a lawyer in the morn- | ing.” “Why see . lawyer?” “To file a bill for divorce, of course. Nina, how soon after marriage did Harry begin to beat you?” “Mother!" she gasped. “How many times has he turned you outdoors at midnight?” “Mother, I can't sit here and hear you talk about Harry like that. I tell you he {8 a good husband.” “I see how It {s!" sighed the mother. “He has pounded and bull- dozed you until you are afraid to call your soul your own. You just walt until it becomes known how he has used you and It may result in a coat of tar and feathers for him!" The excited wife got on her hat, grabbed the baby and the perambu- lator, and etarted for her own home at a gallop On leaving his mother’s house the !Tax Colector of Polk county, huffy husband had taken a long walk and then gone home. When he found the house deserted he went back to his mother to announce the fact. “Does it look to you as if Nina had left for good?’ she asked. seek to palliate her Now that a lawyer at 1 left the } It € ( gs ked up, replied, as g re New EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA., MAY 19, 1914, —_— W !
