To the Agent OF the Associated Press:
Mrs. Francis NJ. S ovllle, according to
newspaper reports, las impudently fled a pc
tition in Chicago for d conservator of my
estate. The only estate | have is the copy
right of my book, ''fhe Truth and The Re-

The absurdi,y OF her pretensions is ap
parent from the fact that | do not live in H.
linois, and have not for nearly three years
besides, [ am not a lunatic. This was Of
icially decided on my trial. | have lived in
Washington for over a year, and this is my
legal residence. The Court had better dis
miss the case peremptorily. The Scovillrs
are a nuisance and | want nothing to do with
them. CHARLES GUITEAU.
.. s.. JAIL, WASHINGTON, April II, 1882.

ani growing as beautiful as a Greek goddess.
Of course ordinary beings must have starved
to death, but she was not an ordinary. The
blood of somebody or other coursed wildly
through her veins and she scorned the world.
CHAPTER ~.
But Fate is cruel. The great World would
not be scorned, and as the evening light
touched the waves into gold and silver,
a man suddenly popped up in front of Musa's
tomb. 'Take me in" said he. Il shall be
spitted like chicken in a Datch wen if you
do not save me from the terrible, invincible
arm of the law" and she took him in. He
was a convict and a nobleman, and 1t was
all the fault of the Judges in charge that he
got sent up. He told her so and she pitied
him. Then she loved him with a lava like
love that burnt up her soul and sent him in
another town. But she was campingon his
trail. All her wild, untamed nature went
out to him, and he began to wish she had
never been born, but she was not to be
thrown aside like a plaything. She meant
business, and he was not given a chance to
forget it. When at LAST he was about to join
the army in his despair and 60 out and fight
the Indians, she Gained herself, quietly pass
ed the two-edged cheese knife through her
heart and died. Some girls would have sent
him back his Alaska diamond ring and the
brass locket, and then gone in for a new
mash, but Musa was not as other girls.

W countrymen. Five years ago, lacking

would wind up the business of the dead mer-

years. The great house in New York and
also the Chicago branch and the mills of the

had fallen off fully one-half, owing, it is
