-: PAULINE GETS ARRESTED :-
indignant Uncle Nate. “I ain’t
used to being talked to in that
way and I ain’t agoing to stand
for it neither.”
‘‘Is that so?” sneered Pauline-
“but, this is a time that you are
going to stand for it, or take the
consequences, see?”
Uncle Nate did take the con-
sequences. He didn’t think it
best to leave well enough alone,
so tried to persuade the already
angry Pauline to release Denny,
when she pitched into him. He
presented a deplorable sight
when the fight was over. The
last we saw of him that day he
was going for home as fast as his
legs could carry him and he didn’t
stop to mutter imprecations into
the printing office as he dashed
by, either.
Pauline finally managed to
drag the bewildered young mer-
chant into Squire Hurst’s office.
The terrible ordeal was about
through when a small panic
broke loose.
“Do you take this lady for bet-
ter or for worse?” L. E. tvas
asked.
“Snuhuh,” came the slow re-
ply.
“One moment, please,” cried
an excited voice from the aud-
ience. “1 would speak to you
Judge.”
“Very well.”
“This couple cannot marry.
That woman is a bigamist. She
has nine living lawfully weddec
husbands, and hasn't a divorce
from any of them. She acquiree
the fortunes of her former hus-
bands and would of worked this
gentleman the same way. I have
a warrant for her arrest. I am a
deputy sheriff.”
Pauline swooned. When L. E.
realized the situation, he also
passed into dreamland. The last
we saw of the beautiful maiden
she was being led to the depot
by the sheriff, and the impre-
ciations she flung upon the de-
fenseless heads of the people
were terrible to hear.
For three weeks now we have
left L. E. Denny and Pauline
standing on the street corner ad-
joining Denny’s Mercantile Store.
It was a shame to leave them
standing there the way we did,
but circumstances demanded it.
Pauline practiced all her woman’s
wiles on the handsome young
merchant and finally carried her
point. L. E. was so dazzled at
her rapid fire of speech that he
finally reluctantly agreed to enter
matrimony.
They were just preparing to
move away from the corner to
Squire Hurst’s office wheA Uncle
Nate Brewer apppeared on the
scene. .
- “Where are you going, L. L:
l\e queried.
“She knows-1 don't!” L. E.
responded, pointing toward the
blushing Pauline.
“WThere art thou going, my
pretty maiden?” Uncle Nate in-
quired, flashing a beaming, inno-
cent smile on the beautiful girl.
Pauline'got angry. Uncle Nate
was too familiar on short ac-
quaintance. She didn’t stop to
consider that L. E. Denny was a
good friend of his, and that they
were used to joking each other.
She made a rash step.
"None of your business!” she
shot back.
“None of my business!” Uncle
Nate repeated, somewhat discon-
certed. “Why, my dear young
lady, you must explain what you
mean.”
“ ’Splain nothing,” yelled the
flustrated Pauline, I told yer
once it was none of yer business.
Ain’t that enough?”
“No, it ain’t;” Uncle Nate per-
sisted. “You must tell me exact-
ly what you mean, and what you
are contemplating doing with my
friend, Mr. Denny.”
“That don’t concern you in the
least,” Pauline roared. “Youse
had better make yourself scarce-
vamoose—see? Come on, dear
Louis, we will go.”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the
