TURNED LOOSE.

Two or three days ago an individual cake, halted a policeman , on Michigan avenue and wanted help to find his wife, who had run away from him in Ohio, taking the three children, and wes supposed to be: in. Detroit. As luck would have it, the woman walked along on the opposite side of the street as the men stood talking, and the husband no sooner caught sight of her than he dashed through the slush and halted her with the exclamation—- " Traitoress, I have found you at last! Give me one sassy word, and I'll send you to State prison for life!" She didn't seem greatly paralysed by the meeting. On the contrary, she waited until the officer came up and then coolly asked—"Were you looking for me?"— "Well, your husband says you ran away from home." " Taking all my money and my dear children I" added the husband. " See here, Smiley Johnson," said the woman as she leaned up against a bill-Jboard," who paid for our marriage license?"—. " Well, I—rou—-happened to pay for it." - "Who bought your wedding clothes 1' —"You did, but I was to pay you back." " Have you earned a dollar since we were married f she aontinued, "Haven't I been working on a patent right every blessed day]" he asked in reply. " And those dear children you refer to-whoseai'e they! Didn't I have them when we were married" I I believe you did." " And wasn't the home which I left mine ?"—" I expect it was." " And wasn't the money I brought along all mine f—Probably it was," " Well, then; where's you case ?" " I can't see it," added the officer, '; Hariner," replied the man, as he worked a tremor i. to his voice, " I hain't got any legal hold on ye, but morally you are bound to go ' baek home with me and hold on till spring. Hannor, let's make up."—" I won't I" " Hanner 1" She reachod out and seized his collar and gave him a spin which landed him against a telegraph pole, and with a good-day : .bow to the officer, walked off, . ." You'd better drop that and hunt fora job with a snow, shovel," suggested the guardian as the man stood looking after the retreating figure. " I have to, but its tuff—tuff—tuff" was the reply as the man stiffened up. " I tell, ye, ray friend, when a husband has been fed and clothed for ten months right, straight along without a kick, it's an awful thing to suddenly turn him loose in the middle of a hard winter without even a certificate of character to help him pull through."— Detroit Free Press,
