not help myself" She said that he
kept putting of the marriage until final
IL her condition became known. She
said she loved him better than she did
her Maker. II she had loved her God

have been in trouble. She also said,
When / objected to his approaches, he
would say. why, Mary, don'tyoa know

afraid that II she angerod him he would
not marry her. She told me that Glen

in New York where she could become .
mother, and no one know anything
about II. He arranged that she should
leave ostsnsibly for her sunt's in the
West. and he was to meet her at the
ferry or somewhere else, and take her
to the place indicated. She said TO him,
Don't you think I have q mothers

and leave II ON some ones stoop, and
we can reclaim it," She suggested the
possibility Of her dying, and he said.
"oh. you won't die"
