Il remember once while I was in the Cabj~

finished and furnished and the captain, very
proud of his beautiful little boat. called on

She married a wretch who loved her
money not wisely. but tco well. When

and departed for the ''rolling prairies of
the mighty West" His earthly posses

and then he came back to New York,

he thus wrote her:
Il am here and penniIess. Forgive
the past and come 10 my arms again"
This is what she wrote back:
''Ill come as soon as | can. Excuse
delay. I've gone to have a loaded head
pat on the cane you left"
