Mrs. Fair, restoring to her the "a, coo in Mrs.
Lanes hands, aud $500 interest. Neither Of The
ladies were in Court at the time tha verdict was
announced.
l., Half an hour after the abore verdict ras re-
corded: small bog from the office OF provinces
e. Johnson entered tie International Hotel with
q note for Mrs. Lane.
The note was from Mrs. Lanes counsel, ap-
prising her Of her dofeat in the suit. She read
the note hu1riedly, and hen ccnehcd it like an
egg she'll 4 terrible look Of despair settled up
on her face, and for an instant she sank in
chair and buried her face in her hands. Then
starting up, she crushed her black straw hat on
her head, throw an old shawl oyerhar shoulders,
and started down the staircase,
She went straight to the drug store on the cor
ner Of Kearny street, and called for hnif an
ounce OF landanum: Tha druggist knew her,
and asked, .tWhat g you want Of it, HRS.
Lone2" She replied: :'Oh! cannot sleep
without laudanua. Ever since my daughters
trouble Ire been 80 nervous that cannot get
any rest unless take something"
The druggist put up the drug and copse1en-
tiously took his haf-aolar. Then Mrs. Lane
started fqr another drug sto1e tore On hearney
chloroforu, saying tlat she had the toothache
and wanted tn rafieya it. THIS drug was also
@ put I'D ''i and S,1v % naid for. ali this time the
lady vas apparently very calm, neither Of the
druggists having noticed anythins peculiar in
sho went to another, and again asked for chloro-
form. Here, too 8 small vial IVES put up for
her; which being paid for, the lady thrust into
her pocket with the other bottles and sailed out
Once in the street, Mrs. Lane elutchoa her
three bottles, and With IN e1ultant but despair
inr smile on her features, struck out for the
hotel. She mounted the staircase, and, after
half sn hours steady climbing, stood in tho door
on the table, took oft her black straw m lat. threw
her shawl into q chair, and drawing some note
paper toward her, began to write She wrote
steadily for an hour at the end Of which time
she had four letters written. Then she partin1ly
herself to die.
Hall au hour afterward the chambermaid on
that door heard the most frightful groans in No.
81. She stood minute in alarm, then peeped
in through the crack,. She saw Mrs. Lane wing
sensible gi.l immediately screamed T and Ira ran
She shot down tho staircase like sinred cat. and
at the foot tunbIed heels over head over eor-
geous1y attired young man in light oyercoat.
This was Mr.. J. B. H. e. Z. McKib6in q bosrder

gasp "alrs. Lane! Suicide!!" and then, draw
ing her skirts tightly around her tainted with
great propriety.
Mr. aicKibbin didn't stop to bring the girl to,
but made bee-line tor No. 81. He pushed the
door open and walked in. 70 :his hnrror Mrs.
