for she WAS the poasessOr 81 two sWeethearts,
one descendant of sunny Italy by name Tory
Fascnra and the other q real blonde. named
Geo Kennel Scott. Yet Maggie was not happy.
and her discomfort was brought about by her
not being able to divide her affections. and con-
seuuently she had to choose between the two,
and she conferred her affections on Kennel
Scott
But In doing this she ran risk, so she says,
for Tory was one of those men that Ii he could
not make one love him by fair means he would

her mind to love Kennel Scot, and feeling that
Tory would kill her when be discovered that
her love for him had fled. she made up her
mind to cheat him out of the delightful pleas
ure of either spelling her beauty or taking her
life by destroying herself. and hence she swal-
lowed the lAudanum.
