Wife objected to this and tried to get hubby interested in other things more important in life. But just at the time she thought she had him away he pulled a phony suicide on her and hied himself home where he was joined by his old pals, and the game started. Wifey discovered his clothes on the bank of the lake and thought hubby was gone for good, so she prepared herself with a new mourning bonnet and clothes suitable for the occasion and returned home a broken-hearted widow. But to her consternation, she discovered hubby and his pals playing the game. Wife, to teach them a good lesson, appropriated the kitty and none dared to take it from her. The pals were considerably upset over this action and fled the house after an attempt to have the money restored. Hubby was given his dose of discipline, but it was so strong that he decided to end it all by drowning. He was deterred from this action, for when on the bank of the lake and ready to plunge in. a large alligator was seen waiting to receive him with open mouth. That night the pals returned to the house with a professional house-breaker to get their money, but wifey darling received them with open arms. Instead of getting the money, they all landed in the place where bad men go. Hubby returned about this time and after a few words she received him with open arms.
