My making inquiries at the railway station he found that the pair had gone to Ncwry, but owing to an in— train service he could not reach that town until a day after the runaways arrived. . | Luck was with him, however, for at Ncwry he found- the carman who had driven the pair to their loggings in Sinclair-street. Me was soon there, ami when the door was 'opened by a -child iiu response to his knocking, lie rushed boldly upstairs. | In one of the rooms he discovered the unfortunate Lothario in bed, 'and, lifting a chair, he belaboured him with it. The owner of the house shouted for the police, aiwl in | the general scramble which followed • the now "black and blue" lover crept painfully out 01* the lvtfus'e. The husband then asked where his wife was, and was shown into another room, where the young woman was lying trembling with fear.
