e of this happy state of affairs. From what we have seen of her husband and his business capabilities during the five acts preceding, we are inclined to doubt the possibility of his being anything but unfortunate to the end of his career. True, he has at last got his "rights" (which he would never have lost had he had a head instead of a sentimental bladder on his shoulders), the Villain is handcuffed, and he and the heroine have settled down comfortably next door to the comic man. But this heavenly existence will never last. The stage hero was built for trouble, and he will be in it again in another month, you bet. They'll get up another mortgage for him on the "estates;" and he won't know, bless you, whether he really did sign it or whether he didn't, and out he will go. And he'll slop his name about to documents without ever looking to see what he's doing, and be let in for Lord knows what; and another wife will turn up for him that he had married when a boy and forgotten all about.  UPON THE CONTINUOUS OF THIS HAPPY STATE OF AFFAIRS FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN OF HER HUSBAND AND HIS BUSINESS CAPABILITIES DURING THE FIVE ACTS PROCEEDING WE ARE INCLINED TO DOUBT THE POSSIBILITY OF HIS BEING ANYTHING BUT UNFORTUNATE TO THE END OF HIS CAREER TRUE HE HAS AT LAST GOT HIS RIGHTS WHICH HE WOULD NEVER HAVE LOST HAD HE HAD A HEAD INSTEAD OF A SENTIMENTAL BLADDER ON HIS SHOULDERS THE VILLAIN HAS HANDCUFFED AND HE AND THE HEROINE HAVE SETTLED DOWN COMFORTABLY NEXT DOOR TO THE COMIC MAN BUT THIS HEAVENLY EXISTENCE WILL NEVER LAST THE STAGE HERO WAS BUILT FOR TROUBLE AND HE WILL BE IN IT AGAIN IN ANOTHER MONTH YOU BET THEY'LL GET UP ANOTHER MORTGAGE FOR HIM ON THE ESTATES AND HE WON'T KNOW BLESS YOU WHETHER HE REALLY DID SIGN IT OR WHETHER HE DIDN'T AND OUT HE WILL GO AND HE'LL SLOP HIS NAME ABOUT TO DOCUMENTS WITHOUT EVER LOOKING TO SEE WHAT HE'S DOING AND BE LET IN FOR THE LORD KNOWS WHAT AND ANOTHER WIFE WILL TURN UP FOR HIM THAT HE HAD MARRIED WHEN A BOY AND FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT
