For some time past there have been little evidences of domestic trouble on the surface of their dally life, but nobodv suspected either party -of taking the difficulty so much to heart. Yesterday when the news of her attempt at suicide reached the outer world there was a genuine out burst of sympathy and alarm. The neighbors rushed in to offer their assistance. Dr. Walsh was called in a professional way, and in a little while the poor woman was as comfortable as could be desired.

As near the truth as anybody has beep able to penetrate, Mrs. Armstrong wanted her husband to go to work somewhere away from the house, as she was willing to conduct the business at. home, and be refused to do as she required.
