A DOMESTIC ROMANCE.

That truth is stringer than fiction is once more proved (says the correspondent of -the Sydney Telegraph). In 1892 Mr and Mt& Galsworthy, a looal ..young, couple, were married here. "The first two years or their wedded life was an uninterrupted period of happiness; then a tiff occurred, and the unpleasantness was taken so seriously by>the, young husband that He cleared pwand left no trace,as to' where he had gone. After waiting and Roping for his return in vain, Mrs Galsworthy was obliged to return to her former occupation as a domestip servant, in order to earn a livelihood. Subsequently she attracted the attention of a lover named Carpenter, and, believing she was a widow, Mrs Galsworthy in due course* became.. Mrs Carpenter-. The' story of the 1 death of the first husband, however, turned out to be untrue, for .he. arrived v safe and sound in. Geelong thisi week. When he made inquiries he was shocked to find that his wife, thinking him dead, had married another man, and that the woman^was then in the receiving ward at the hospital, suffering some temporary mental "derangement. His affection- for her had, however, not diminished, and he called to see her at the hospital on Thursday. She at once recognised him, and, strange to say, her condition of health improved immediately. She is still in hospital, but Mr Galsworthy is. determined to not only take her back to his new home, but he says he will keep the two children born since she became Mrs Carpenter. The second husband denies the right of the first husband to either woman or children, and threatens to have the case tested.
