The newcomer proceeded to kick the woman and to avoid a scandal tho business man disappeared. For a whilo the latter was uuablo to decide whether the husband was in earnest in the expression of rage, or whether an attempt bad been made to bunco him. As tho matter ended with the disappearance of the couple wo concluded that the husband was in earnest. However this may be, the actions of the couple aro very peculiar. Premature liiploston.
