lit. Lank wa a proud wonwn. "An that be
the ca? ," said die, "we will go into the Iiouho
and talk It over."
Heated Id the house : "My feweh, that you
ilid roe the honor to take, would not lat you
lorp, I feared,'' mitd she, "eo I expected soiiie
thinR of this visit.11
"A nian cannot five on hearing of sermons
and Miiellinn two rose-buds," replied Lltlith.
f. H. That was spoke saicasticul, a t"ylva
Dus the SiiRiiry fay?.
The upxbot of it all was that Mrs. Lank ad
vanced him five dollars on his personal recog
nizance. It beniR nightfall before the necessary
negotiations were concluded, Lltlith generously
comeiited to stay to dinner, and, as a matter of
conree, got drunk. A separate apartment had
been aired and placed at tils disposal, but
by an effort ol "organic memory" he mann?od
to mistake the room, nor did he discover the
mistake until it was too late to remedy it.
Such little mtstukes will occur lu the best
regulated families especially when one man
maintains two, living In separate counties.
Early tho next, mornine h mounted his horse
and rode away to the dove-eyed angel, carrying
live dollais in his pocket.
"There," raid hn, flinging the postal currency
flown on the table, "I come not to thee empty
handed." "Nor 1 to thee. While thou wast saying,
'Stand and deliver,' see whst I did," sal J Mercy,
with a heavenly smile, pointing to a cradle
w hich Li flith had not bcfore observed. It con
tained a boy three years old.
On the whole, lie thought he'd go back to
Kate; and Mercy, on hearing the whole story,
coincided with him in the opinion that it wits
the best thing he could do under the circuru
htanccs. Litiith proposed Utah, if his other
wife could be brought to consent; but the dove
eyed was not willing to dovetail into any such
an arrangement.
So back rode he to Cucumberland. But here
found he himself in u sad pickle. For Mrs. Lank
hti.'J b-'.'W'l ol his goings on. Company was iu
THE "CHADLB SONG,"
A CLEAR CASE OP "WHO'S BEEN HEBE ?" ETC.
the house, and all sat at dinner when Lillith
entered the room.
"Is there place for one more?" said he in
quirinely. "No," replied Mrs. Lank decisively, as sho
helped Father Francis to fish.
Such a meeting of man and wile never I nor
any one else saw.
At this moment one idea suddenly and simul
taneously occurred to all the well-bred guests;
and that Idea was, that they were, perhaps, de
trop.
Ltflith saw them leave with a siuklng heart,
lor well knew he what was coming.
Mrs. Lank called him a Skulking Skeesicks,
and threatened to collar him and drag him bo
fore a jury of his countrymen. "Tne constables
shall rouie for you in tho morning," said she,
and with that bade Kydcr show him to a room
in the attic.
Little liking the accommodations, and still
less the idea of constables in the morning,
Lifllth waited until Ryder had lelt the room,
and then, opening the window, let himself down
to the ground by the tin water-pipe that rau
along the eaves.
The next morning Llffith was non est in
ventus. And the morning after the next, Mrs.
Lank was arrested on suspicion of having mur
dered him.
Before hanging her, however, it was necessary
to find the body. Now a little distance from the
house was a mere, filled with carp and eels and
pike and other fish, always fresh and fit for" the
table from the fact that they were fed princi
pally upon parsons and peddlers. It was a
mere suspicion that the body was here, but
they determined to drag the mere.
For some time they dragged nothing to the
surface but parsons aud peddlers and tin pots
and broken jugs, but at length they clawed
bold of something else.
"Draw slowly,'' said the contractor, "and if
it is, be men, and hold fast."
The men drew slowly, slowly, and presently
there rose to the surface a Thiuer to strike terror
and loathing to the stoutest soul.
A THING TO STRIKE TERMOR TO THE 8TOU TEST SOUL.
It was not an editor, nor an anonymous cor
respondent, nor a Prurient Prude. It was the
pair of hobnailed shoes before alluded to iu
capital letters. They were identified by a ground
mole, found in one of them.
Wilh this evidence against her, Mrs. Lank's
'csfee was regarded as hopeless; but neverthe
less it was determined to make an effort lu her
defense. Prominent iu this movement wus
'Jeorge Neverill. He hoped two thlni?s: tirst,
that Liflith was indeed eaten up by the fish in
the mere; secondly, that Kate would be, ac
quitted. CHAPTER VIII.
Things looked serious
Rytlr had heard Mr-. Lauk threaten l.er
kufbaud, nnd a splauh bad been beard in tho
wi only
a iisi jiimpiiur was luncriicd to scorn.
Tl e Idea that Meicv mlirht know sotneLhlne
about the wlmreaboiiis of LlOith suggested
itself to Mrs. Lank, and Oeorgc Neverlll whs
despatched to find that dove-eyed angel. Hut
she knew no more hbout It all than the other
Mrs. Lank.
A notice appearing In one of the leading
dailies of the period, that a gentlemen of re
finement, education, and wealth, and good
looking withal, would like to correspond w ith a
large number of young ladies, with a view to
matrimony, (leorge suggested that this must be
Lltlith. Hut Mercy said no. She did not think
he was mnrryina nowadays so much a formerly.
"Wbat shall we do?" cried Nevcrill in de
spair. "Consult the spirits." replied Mercy; and a
circle was immediately formed, but with no
satisfactory result.
One spirit, on being consulted, rapped out.
A-D-V-E-K-T-I-H-E, but brine l be ghost of a
newspaper proprietor whose widow continued
the business the advice was attributed to In
terested motives.
Nevertheless, she and George laid their heads
together, and coi coded the followincr, which
appeared among the "l ersonals" in all the city
and country payers soon after;
"It LtfOth Lank, who is suspected or having been
murdered, will send his fhlro-s to either of his
wives, or apply to the Bheriir ol this county, be will
bear of something to bis advantage. ood2p4wtf.
The day before the trial Nevcrill telegraphed
Mercy to know if any auswer had come to the
advertisement.
She replied, "No."
To thin teleeram thero were two postscripts.
First postscript, in a tremulous hand:
"Consult the spirits."
Second postscript, in a spiritual hand:
"Nonsense!" said the matter-of-fact Mr.
Ohouseman, "we have enow to do with pumping
the witnesses, let alone draining the mere. We
want no more parsons and peddlers."
CHAPTER IX.
Court was in session.
"Katriue Lunk," said the Judge, "look me
In the lace."
The prisoner turned her eyes slowly upou
him. lie saw in an instant that she was not
looking at him, and was about to commit her
tor contempt, when an old friend of the family
stepped up, and explained the peculiarity of the
grand and beautiful orba.
Mr. Whitworth, the junior counsel for the
Crown, then rose to open the case; but tue pri
soncr.with a pale face, but a most courteous de
meanor, begged his leave to ask a previous
question ot the court. Air. Whitworth bowed,
and sat down.
"My lord," said she, looking the Judge
dreamily in the face, "what think you of the
doctrine of the Immaculate Conception?"
At this ihe crier shouted, "Oyez! Ojez! 0
yez !" and the trial went on.
But I will uot weary the reader with a detail
ot the tedious process of an English csuii of
law.
Various witnesses gave their testimony, and
Mrs. Lank subjected each to a severe cross
examination upou the dogmas of tho Church.
At the conclusion of the case for the prosecu
tion, the prisoner stated that she should only
call one witness lor the defense.
"Mercy Vintner!" cried she.
And Mercy Vintner, who had been consulting
the spirits in a side room, stepped forward.
"State to the court what you know about the
case," said Mrs. Lank.
"Nothine, an please your lord-blp." said
Mercy, with a courtesy, "but that Liflith Lank
an't dead yet."
"But twenty witnesses declare that he is,"
remarked the Judge. "The balance of evidence
is against ou." Aud despite an appealing look
from the Jove-eyed angel, he was about to put
on his black cap ami pass sentence, tor it was
already pust his dinner hour. But Mercy
quietly took a note from her reticule and handed
it to him.
The note was from Liffilh, and was addressed
to the Judge. It briefly stated that ll9 ffiw
alive; but that he did not like to present him
self for a family reason or rather for a two
family reason. He had read about jails in a
work by a popular author, entitled "Never Too
Late to End," and did not wish to make close
acquaintaucc with the punishment-jacket, and
crunks, cold douches, and visiting justices. He
concluded by asking the Judge to dine with
him when he happened to drop down his way;
paid a score of compliments to both his wive .,
and threatened to whip anybody who hauged
eitner or tuem.
The court was at once dismissed, and Mrs.
Lank apologized to a jury of her countrymen
for the trouble 6he had given them. She en
tered no legal proceedings against her husband,
fearful that, even if found guilty the jury
would recommend him to Mercy.
CHAPTER X.
A change came over Mrs. Lauk from that day
forward. She bad learned that the law will not
allow even a woman to threaten to collar any
body with impunity.
In the meantime, Liflith Lank, Esq., who had
succeeded to au immense and independent for
tune in his own right, reappeared in public. It
was said that he had com promised matters with
the Vintners, but whether he had or,not, no suit
at law was brought against him, and he set
about buikliufr a flue house, with large grounds
and conservatories, but no meres and nth-pomls
about the premises.
Mrs. Lank heard of the new place, and riding
paEt there one day, thought how much finer it
was than Hernshaw Catle.
One day she received a note in a well-kuown
baud of write. She had been expecting some
thing of the kind, and it caused her no surprise.
it contained but tuesc words:
"Madam:-I do not ask you to forgive me. Hut
I have built fine now house of Milwaukee brick,
lumiHlird with oil the modern iroprovomenta gas,
water, bells, and epeakinir-tubes, and only five mm.
uti e' walk Iruiu tne dopot. 1 havo also abandoned
all idea of poiufr into the hotel business in another
countT. Your apartments are ready lor you.
''With renewed amu ranees of my mo-t dUtin
cuiened consideration, 1 remain, your husband,
Liffith Lank."
Tho messenger awuited a reply.
'I will consult my child," said Mrs. Lank.
And calling to her little idrl, crtat eighteen
months, who was plajing in the parlor, she
acked would it havo some sugar-plums?
'"Es," lisped little Kose.
As you please," said Mrs. Lank, and sat down
and wrote as follows:
"Sir: I have consulted my child, and we both
apree to submit to your judgment, tlease oud a
carnai0
'Yours respectfully, Katrine Lawk,
"1'. S. I bave no obtoctton to going a short dis
tance into the country.''
. The thing was done.
In the meanwhile. Providence having kindly
killed off the offspring of her alfulr with Litiith
the little fellow clearly had no right to stand
In the way of his mother's making a good match
George Neveiill had married the dove-eyed
angel. The two families exchanged cards, but
did not viMt each other.
8o my task is ended.
I have aimed to show that bigamy U against
the law, and hope I have succeeded.
In the present cuse It happens, unfortunately,
that the only one who felt the terrors of the
law, and came near suffering the penalties, was
the injured wife. And the only persons who
were called upon to sutler at all were the three
really innocent ones, George Neverlll, the dove
eyed anuel, and the little boy the first having
been Jilted, the second most cruelly deceived
and Injured, and the lu-t carried off by the scar
