and rsther rortly looking lady, Mrs. l..

was a dog kept in the room. Being ans

from under the bed and out through the
window. The screams of the frightened
females aroused the family but the thief
had disappeared snd let nothing but
his huge footprints behind which were

waiting for some one. 1t was just before
the other fellow came by in the hack, and L

those gentlemen. in my Judgment, are
infinitely superior, both mentally and

i presume the last thing in the world
concerning which the public take any
interest, is the personal difficulty be-

has volunteered a statement Of the mat
ter, l will say that what he alleged TO be
the facts is a tissue of fnlsehoods from
beginning to end. 1t Is false in the alb
straet and false in detail. Early in
August he voluntarily promised NE that
as against me he would DO nothing to
assist Mr. Talbot in obtaining the noun

that when he made that promise he in
tended To keep it, and that at the time,
he felt kindly towards me-. /, as Regent

nearly a year, had been occupying IA

speaks, existed only in the figments of "A
