The Hindoo Dagger

Jack Windom is struck with awe when he receives a Hindoo dagger from his old friend Tom, who has been traveling in India. He hangs the dagger on the wall, then goes out. For a time he discerns a chill in his wife, and his jealous misgivings are confirmed when he returns and finds her in the company of a stranger. Grasping the dagger from the wall, he drives the recreant lover from the house and then follows his wife to the bathroom, where she has fled in terror. Mercilessly he plunges the dagger and flees the scene. The lover in hiding sees him depart and returns, and calling aid succeeds in reviving the wife, who afterwards, with careful treatment, recovers and marries her paramour. However, either from the baneful influence of this diabolical dagger, or the woman's capricious nature, just one year later the second husband enacts the same scene, but with fatal results.
