INFATUATION.
How an Adventures was Beaten.
New York Correspondence Boston Journal.


vited by distinguished physician to
call at his Office at II o'clock on given
day. She went down and found the
doctor in company with her husband.
He was the physician of the family. He
informed her that he had disagreed
BILE duty to discharge. It was that her
husband was entirely alienated from
her, and would live with her no more;
he would provide for her, give her
comfortable house and maintenance,
and with that she must be content.
The blow felled her to the floor. She
was taken home maniac, and weeks
passed before she recovered her reason.
Her home was broken up, and she NOV
ed into the new quarters provided for
her.
It was evident that the husband had
formed an attachment to another wo-
man. He bought the house that he
proposed to give her, and furnished it
elegantly from saloon to attic. He
promised to give her bill of sale of all
the personal effects in the mansion. To
save appearances she took few gentle
man dodgers. The man lavished on
this woman heavy sums of money. He
bought her the best silks and satins,
sable furs, and sacks, and footed all the
bills she run up at Stewards. She
passed as rich widow from Virginia:
received letters from pretended rela-
tives about a fortune she was coming
into by and by, and with these papers
secured large sums of money. The
merchant drew heavily on his firm, and
was threatened with bankruptcy.
Getting an inkling of what was going
on, the wife consulted well-known de-
tective. He advised her to commence
suit against her husband, which she
refused to do. 81 don't went money!"
she said, 81 want my husband, with
whom I have lived forty years. If he
could know what I know the charm
would be broken, and he would return
to his home penitent man." The de-
tective undertook to work the case up.
He visited the house and had an inter
view with the woman, and secured one
OF the best rooms for ledger. That
ledger was the detectives own man,
who was to gather up the little facts
that would appear in the management
of the concern. He followed the woman
for week, and paid special attention
to the HUSBAND of the woman's sister
who had lodgings in the building"
He visited the merchant in his store.
made an appointment to ride out with
him the next day about five miles, to
look at fine coupe-horse, which he
was DESTROYS of purchasing for his fe-
male companion. Instead of finding
the horse, he was brought face to face
with his wife, whom he had not seen
for months. The interview could not
be averted. The black record of the
woman's character and crime was laid
before him. He saw how his money
went, and what sort of an establishment
he was supporting, and how he was the
laughing stock of his associates. His
infatuation ended, and ne resolved to
return to town, denounce the woman,
and forsake her. He proposed to get
back the property that the woman
claimed as her own. A little scheme
was laid that turned out to be an emf
nent success. The woman wanted
few hundred dollars for her sister, to
be paid through her " sisters hus-
band." She wanted set of diamonds
for Christmas, and coupe for lads day
at New Years. A note was dispatched,
under direction of the detective, asking
her to meet her friend at weu-known
trysting place the next day at eleven, to
decide upon these little gifts
desired. She was to remain
from eleven to one, in case
business shonld detain the merchant.
Promptly on time she left in her coach,
and had hardly turned the corner be-
fore wagons drove up, and in an hour
the house was stripped from the base
ment to the upper story. Pictures,
vases, statuary, damask curtains, silver,
wines, all disappeared. At 2 o'clock
the woman Of the mansion drove up.
The colored woman wrung her hands
in despair, the shield of the detective
having kept her quiet. Almost at the
same moment the burly from New
York's well-known detective came in
sight. He ordered the woman off the
steps and turned the key, saying as he
walked away: "Don't annoy that man;
don't go near his stores write him no
notes. If you do, I'll arrest you for
your past crimes and send you to the
island" The merchant and his wife
are now living costly in their old home
stead. But for this timely interference
there would have been another heavy
failure in New York. Parhaps an adj
ditional suicide.
