no entrance and poverty was unknown. Prosperity smiled on them, and in two<br />
years not a cloud crossed their path. One evening he demanded some luxury<br />
which his wife could not give him. He became abusive and beat her. The<br />
following morriing he was received with smiles and caresses. That evening<br />
when he returned home, he staggered in the house and fell. She gently laid<br />
him on the sofa.<br />
