hard things that caused breach. which

ness, and begging her to reply at once.
Her replv was received at Blissford, but
it was not so worded as to assure him
that all was serene, and his desire to
hear more and oftener is several times
repeated in his answer. The name,
Frank, is plainly a ruse, for, besides

shortly after the occurrence, and he

correspondence between the two was
purely of business character, and
that that business consisted in working
together to humbug the public. In
this, as in the foregoing, the writing is
without doubt the chirography of Mel
