confidence Of the Chief Rabbi Of the place, that
be was frequently entrusted with the adminis-

absence. Her parents and all parties asserting,
she was married TO the learned young Rabbi
On their marriage her parents gave them mar
rage portion Of about one thousand dollars, on
which they lived about year at kreena, when
the young Rabbi suddenly disappeared and was
gone some three years before she ascertained
his whereabouts. Finally she heard of him in
Dantzc, in Prussia, WHITTIER she followed him,
found him, and returned with him TO Serai, in
Poland.
He they lived together year, during which
child was born to them. When the child
was some two months old. they went on visit
to her mother ut Kreena-remained there few
weeks, then started back Tor Serai. Arriving
at the border, the RABBI, it appeared, had pro

ting to an officer that the lady was none OF his,
and had no passport, he was conveyed across
the stream, while she was left behind This
was the last she bad seen OF her loving spouse
until she met him ten days ago in Ottawa.
But she was unwilling TO give him up so-
Arming herself with funds and other necessary
papers, she started in pursuit. She found traces

but was never able 70 fix his locality, until af-
ter some three years, she learned that he had
been at Jerusalem, had there been married to q

been wandering over Europe assuming the char.

him in London, where be got another writing
that was in due form. TAen all trace OF him

learned that he had deposited some money with
a banker in Hanover, with orders to forward it
whittier he should direct it by letter. The
banker finally got letter, directing him to send
the money to banker named Israel, in Kala-

was informed tina. the monew had been sent TO
Setzar, in care Of DR. Ashkenazi, at Ottawa, 4
Iii. So she came 70 Ottawa, and here, by acci-
dent, met Dr. A. in the street, whom she at
once recognised as her traunt lord. The Dr.
made feeble effort to deny his identity, but
soon caved, and showed disposition 10 come
TO terms.
Her demands were reasonable enough All
she asked was . enforcement and 81, 800 in
money to enable her TO return to her parents
The first, the DR.. was willing enough 10 accede
to, but being great miser, utterly scouts the
latter part Of the proposition, TO evade which
he tried earnestly to persuade her to live with
him again. This she perempterily declines but
commences proceeding in our Circuit Court
for divorce and alimony, and for fear her "Rab-
bi" may take leave OF her again, she has him
locked up on writ OF ne ereet.
The Doctor is known 70 have some eight or
ten thousand dollars in gold in his possession,
