Immediately he had an interview with the (since
proven false) agent Of Mr.. Wordwell, and the re-
result was, that Nr. Wardwell was iaformed that
Mr.. BE ale had the services of Mss Hayes and

would contract her services to Mr. Wardwell for

Some time before the departure Of the troupe

The draft was sent to Beae and was not applied to
its destined purpose, but on the con.rary, on the
