day after day, with numherlesa distor

society Journal had it that tha beautiful
Miss M of M Tark, In Exhrldge-
shire, bad attempted to poison her hus
band, to whom ah had been secretly
married only a month or two, in order to
become tha wife of a celebrated R. A.,
with whom ahe had fallen deeply In love;
while another declared that the husband

that tha unfortunate man now lay iu a

band bad carried off his reluctant bride,
a veritable prisoner, on board bia yacht,
for a twelveinonth'a cruisa In tha Ta
citic. At lat Telling, annoyed beyond meas
ure at these absurd stories, decided to
lay bar the truth. With the assintance
of his lawyer, he drew np- a concise state
ment of the real facts- giving bis own
and Tatil. lie's name in full, but suppress
ing Jack's. He carefully conveyed the
Idea that Tauline believed biin to b

(hanice of unme as sufficient to account
for hla not having discovered ber exist
