whom she knew could not read, to take the
letter to the post office. This servant, to get
leave of absence, took with her one of her mis-
tress' children. 70 amuse the child she al
lowed it to carry the letter; and the little one,
pleased with the red stamp, as they walked
along succeeded in removing it. The letter
was deposited in the office without stamp,
and was never, of course sent.
A few words more will close this brief histo-
ry. a month later, the lady's former guardi-
an, who was politician, received Chicago
newspaper which had been sent to him be-
cause it contained a apoiitical speech deliver
ed inthis city; after reading it, he laid it
down, with some remark upon the extraordi-
nary growth Of The city in which it Was prin
ted The name Of Chicago was heard by the
lady; she took the paper. glanced overit, and,
with a shrek, rell fainting 10 the floor. In a
week she WAS dead. In that paper was found
the announcement of the marriage Of her des-
troYer
