lady who has exhibited the most indciatiga-
Die perseverance in ,he pursuit OF iniorma-
tlon under embarrassing difficulties. Three
years ago she resided in California, which
State, IN fact. she claims now as her resi-
dence, and there became acquainted with a
man named Munson--a pleasing cool, aiil-
BILE gentleman, who so adrol,ly worked his
way into her confidence that she introduced
him TO young lady, near and dear friend
possessed Of some fifteen or twenty Thousand
dollars in cash. The result, as might have
been anticipated, was the conslmmation of
the ladys heartfelt wish,s--the marriage Of
her friend to the polished and afable gen,
tleman.

thing passed of smoothly enough. The
husband was aiIectionate and attentive the
lady oil love and confidence. Finally, the
husband expressing a wish TO enter into
business and settle down for life, the confd-
ing wife drew from her bankers almost the
entire Of her fortune and placed it in his
hands. A week after the steamer sailed for
the Atlantic side and the villain hushand
