looking for her, but could not find her, and did not discover where she was until read about this affair in the Herald. Riley knows me, but don't know him; that's where he has the advantage of me. I would like to meet him, and if he had any money would make him settle for all that he has done. What right has he to come up here and pre- tend to be my wife's friend? The stories that want to have her sent to prison are false. She deserted me, it is true, but she is my wife, and it is only natural that should feel sorry for her. If I had left her and did not care for her, what would be doing up here? Revenge no; Pm not that kind of a man.''
