He, who used to be so bright and debonair, is afraid. His wife and mother-in-law have lorded it over him until he dare not call his soul his own. One day, however, while glancing over the paper, he happens to see an advertisement, the wording of which gladdens his poor heart. A wonderful discovery has been made! An instantaneous and positive cure for timidity! Henpeck drops the paper and hurries to interview the advertiser. Finding that the cure consists only in having a little serum injected through the nose, he decides to take it immediately. Wonder of wonders! Hardly has he sniffed up the fluid before he feels like a warrior of old, brave and dauntless! Let his wife or his mother-in-law dare dictate to him now! He'll soon teach them their place. And so it is; he enters his home as he never entered it before, like the master of the place. His wife and mother-in-law stand back in amazement; they can't believe their eyes or their ears as he orders them around. But being subdued by his air of authority and determination they fly at his beck and call, and the last view we get of the poor-spirited, ill-treated husband of the beginning of the story, he is seated at a fine hot meal, although it is not meal time, his two former bosses waiting on him with the greatest solicitude.
