illliztakvn Elhvniiig JAMES MARSHELE, a bachelor, was returning In from a pleasant evening at the club. It must have been about twelve thirty o'clock. I was walking slowly along whistling softly to myself, in a most agreeable humor, and inclined to look at the bright side of everything. Just as I arrived at the corner of an old brick building, two tall women sprang out from the shadows of the wall and seized me, one by the arms, the other by the collar. You wretch ! I have you now, exclaimed the portly dame who held my collar with a grip which entirely cut off my wind, and with that they began dragging me down the sidewalk toward a small house. Of course I began struggling for my freedom and trying to expostulate, all to no purpose since they were very strong and I was a small man. L-e-t me explain, I managed to gasp. Oh, you'll have time enough in a minute, said the other sarcastically. . They dragged me up the steps, through the door and into a room: then they pounced upon me, pulling my hair, ear and nose, scratching and clawing my face, tearing my collar and tie, and jerking me this way and that. You beast, to treat me that way! Get drunk and gamble and stay out till twelve o'clock. will you? yelled the one who seemed ,to be my wife, shaking me till my teeth chattered. Yes, spend all your money on drink and cards! Going to run off and leave my daughter and me, eh? To think what a villain Mary has married! screamed my seeming mother-in-law, clawing my face and having a tug of war with my hair. Then they slammed me over in a corner. Now explain, they screamed at me. 12
