Desdemona was not the only woman to have trouble over a handkerchief It occurred to Mary also Mary was in love with Bill who worked on her fathers ranch and was greatly admired by all the boys Shorty returned from town one day with a fine checkered handkerchief which he proudly placed about his neck strutting in front of Bill to attract his notice The handkerchief was almost loud enough to speak for itself so Bill noticed it all right One of the boys sneaked it from about Shortys neck and hung it on a nail where Mary found it Seeing that it was new she placed it about her own comely neck but alas Othello Bill became jealous and accused her of accepting it from Shorty
