MAN AND WIVES.
A TRAVESTY.
By MOSE SKINNER.
CHAPTER FIFTH.
QUEER DOINGS AT THE HALF-WAY HOUSE.
"Tell the minister," said ANN to TEDDY, "to come in. If I don't get a
husband out of this _somehow_, I ain't smart. I'll just marry the man
I've got here."
ARCHIBALD sank down on the sofa, bathed in a cold perspiration.
"Oh, _don't_" he groaned; "you mustn't. 'Twasn't my fault; JEFF sent
me."
Her eyes flashed on him angrily.
"Yes, you helped JEFF set a trap for _me_," said she, "and you've fell
into it yourself. Come, here's the minister."
But ARCHIBALD didn't come, he only turned white, and made a gurgling
noise.
