Zeke Wright, a wealthy old batch, has intimated his intention of making his two nephews his heirs, and having nothing but time on his bands, lakes it into his head to visit his nephew Tom, who is married and settled. Tom and his wife are goodies, no doubt, and the gay old chap is soon disgusted, so he decides in pull up stakes and visit Harry Wright, whom he thinks unmarried, not having been apprised of his romantic elopement and marriage. So he sends Harry a note, to wit: "Am disgusted with your cousin's wife. If you ever marry I'll cut you off. Am coming to visit you to-morrow." Holy smoke! Up against it for fair. Well, wits work, and Bessie plays the maid for the time being, but Foxy Nunky is wise and starts a persistent flirtation, much to the perturbation of Harry, who is at length forced to divulge. However, Uncle exclaimed: "Harry, you're all right and I'll double your allowance." So Nunky prolonged his stay with the Wrights.
