ward me, seized me by the wrists, drag
ged RE into the parl0r, and said: Calm
yourself, Christine, l a,n going to send
for DOCTOR"
''At that moment / did indeed feel
myself becoming mad, feel my mind
wandering, because of the misfortune
which saw was threatening Us. How
ever, took courage on seeing him be-
| come calm again, and especially when
ssw how intelligently he talked about
| business fairs. At the time of the fall
| in sticks there was such rush of GUS
tOm(rs to our rooms that could scarce
ly fitd minute in the day tO be alone
with him. Then at night he used tn
make me sit up with him, he debating
to me until morning the detailed plan;
Of his.
THE REMOVAL. To AN ASYLUM.
"Fearing to irritate him, yielded to
his Wishes and it was argued that
should turn everything into cash for his
great enterprise. This continued for
five days and five nights. I was almost
des,ts with fatigue. while he never slept
for y single instant, and even ate moth
ing whatever. 1t was no use for the
doctor Of the hotel to give him chl"ral,
or to try Otncr means to give him n little
rest. When [ would beg him to 90 out
with me tor little air, hs would always
answer, Wait, wait, MA petite Chris
tine, fortune is there, and lie W, uld point
to The voiuminous document of nom
sense that had Oi.e.licntly written I'M
der his direction. Finally the hotel
doctor could stand it 10 longer, ami hc
said to me-:
MADAME, / cannot attend your hus-
hand, he has got an idea fixed in his
head. and it is not there that he can M.
cured.;'
''On the al yirc Of certain physicians
who had made special study Of cases
of insanity / resigned myself to
allow my husband to- liz taken
to the private hospital Of DR..
GOujOn. When he was once shut up he
insisted on going out tO attend to his
business, and. without knowing where
he was, protested against being detained
asserting that he was thereby losing Il
fortune. Every day 20 to the Mais0n
de Sante, hut Dr. Goujon
WILL NOT i TT ME- SEE MY HUSBAND.
"He is not allowed to see any one;
but here is a letter which have just r.
ceivetl from the physician:
"'DEAR MADAME.-I have good
piece of news to give you. Your husband
Is better. He no longer asks to Ike al
lowed to gO out. The cure, will. per-
haps, be more rapid than dared to
give you hopes to expect. Accept, dear
madame, the assurance of my devotion.
DIR. iOCJON.'
MAY God hear him and hell' him."
added Nine. Nilsson, with the deepest
emotion. ":At alI events, will not stir
f, .,l here until he comes out, and then
( sil take him far away from Paris and
from business, where he can cOnvalesce
and live apart from all that may remind
him OF his horrible nightmare. ! do not
believe that it is anything else than Il
temporary alteration, and the doctors
are Of the same opinion. I have heard
that my husband is the third or fourth
person who has been attacked l'y nIail-
ness as Il Result of this financial disorder,
and all Of them ARE now i'll DIR. G"Uj"n's
hO~pitul.'
While Nilsson was talking she Was
supported by Madame HOrtensc Char
ton. sister Of the wcll-knOwn singer,
Madame Charton-Ih.nuer. and her ill-
semlrab!c companion. Her voice was
cllokcl with so!,s, and all the tears in
her body rolled down her pale sad face.
The blonde tres>cs Of tho poor woman,
whom all Americans have wOrships(.
are twisted in confi,siOn around her acll-
ing head. ami her eyes look weary as il
worn out with long watching. Many
friends have called to see and comfort
her, but she has felt it necessary to re-
fuse to stt' them, In the midst of III!
her s,,fltrin.> some Of those cowarily
fellows, called Paris journalists. continue
to utter their atr..iu'lS insin.Etions in
regard IT, one whose husband il ~" long,
cr with htr to defend her. and whose
own health is :" greatly compromise!
that she cannot think of defending her.
