out and we walked together down the
steps and turned 10 the Fourth avenue

q car, but afterwards decided 10 walk.
After my husband lett me went TO see
the Sisters OF Charity on Thirty.second
street, where staid till about dusk,
and then started TO go home, and
when | got to the foot Of the hill two men
came up behind me, and they
thrust mo into the carriage. could not
sec either Of them, as they threw my
shawl ov or my eyes and bound it there.
Some ono then got into tho carriage with
us, and we werc driven rapidly away.
When asked what lie was going TO do
with me, he said "Wo know all about it;
you are insane. The man who told me
to take you said you were making mis-
chiefbetween your two daughters, and he
must put you out of the way" When |
told him 10 let me out, he said II | did not
be quiet he would throw nc into the riv.
Gr, and so | said no more, through
fGar. We rode, | should think, about two
hours, when wegot out. HedeliyerCd me

up three flight Of stairs and removed my
shawl from my eyes. They thrust me In

next morning, when woman came bring

me where I was, and what they were go.

came in, and when told her my story,
she said she was sorry for me, and finally
consented to aid me 10 escape, II | would
go blinded as CAME. Itmust have been
late that night when she.camo for me, and
leading me to the carriage, drove away
