Haines found on the table when he went to his room- over I hike's bakerv Frida\w •afternoon at I o’clock. His wife has gone, no one knows where.And George is broken-hearted, amazed, bewildered, thunderstruck, dumbfounded and all but era/\ evermthe unexpected atlair. Talk about your thunder-claps Irom a clear sky. they are not in it at any stage of the game compared with this. And only a week and one day married, too!Thi i- perfectly scandalous.The woman is out ami gone. In the place of the bride with radiant smiles to meet him at the door he found a desolate room and a letter on the center table—a cold, formal, dignified letter that -auk the iron of deepest sorrow in his heart and left him thoroughly wounded in even respect.1 he letter contained no word of censure for the abandoned husband, except that he was unreasonable in insisting on such a ha-ty marriage.The woman's relatives were all opposed to the match and the marriage, only a few days after each hail secured divorces from former consorts, was a great shock to them, particularly to the woman's daughter W innie. a likelv girl of sixteen vears. who - * positively refused to live with her mother or go near her after the marriage, and who has since that time been with relatives at Amboy. She Iwlared she would die rather than live with her mother after that.The letter left on the table by tin* fugitive bride set out among other things that George need not enquirefor her or make any effort to trace•her footsteps, for it would be useless. “Onlv misery is in store for me if I stay here,’ she wrote. “I am going far awav from here. Let me be dead to you. I am perfectly brokenhearted. You must get a divorce a- soon a- possible, for all is over with us forever. 1 cannot bear the scorn of my relatives ; nor will I be deprived of the daughter committed to my care. She is dearer than all the world to me. Mv dutv to mv childdemands this step, ami death will hewelcomed if 1 cannot he with her. I go, and will soon have my daughter with me.Such in effect were the words left for George's consideration.“And here 1 just went and put in anew .f:»2 cook stove and a lot of newfurniture,’’ said George this morning in speaking of the latest whirl in his matrimonial a flairs. “1 hadn’t the least idea of such a thing, j W e were living happily together, at | least I was and supposed she was too. J oi I never spent a happier week in seven vears. W hen 1 left the house at noon 'he kissed me a~ ii'iial and was a- chirp a~ a kitten. 1 don't know what could have possessed her to do that way. 1 wanted her daughter to come and live with us but she wouldn't. Relatives set her against ii'. Yes, she’s gone, and I'll never see her again I suppose. I thought we were getting along the best kind and never was as happy in my life. Some people are born for lin k ami some for trouble. I think I was born for trouble, at least I am getting my share of it.’’Where the woman has gone seems to be a complete mystery. She left the place between - and 1 o’clock in the afternoon, ami has disappeared a* completely ami mysteriou'ly as if the earth had opened and swallowed her.It i' almost certain she took no afternoon train out, but she is not here.It i' conjectured that site has gone to J | Illinois where relatives reside. She ha' money, a big roll of it, some she had when sin* was married ami kept in her own individual in-ide pocket. Another rumor is that she ha' gone to Richmond with a neice who is known to be out of town.George i- feeling verv sore over theC ' matlair but he is trotting mighty little sympathy from the public. He left a good wile to marry this woman and the general verdict is he has been served just right. With this state of feeling he can expect but little sympathy over the dismal outcome of his la*t matrimonial venture.iSt.k-:esaiverli,i \ -adloinhUVO-se-*88. tie I-it-ds.no,J.gieleftve*().Froilmlt;henenopatuofbe1 h IH.i »Tlt;\\V i 11ier-the the one rth-ime r ofTr\•will111 VI bvftelVCftea.1!lt;1Ilt;11the 1 senilis theiii.ftiCall and see .John I’erkius at his
