That rumor is false in every way, and you
will do me great favor if you will publish
my absolute denial of it. Do look like q
man who would accept a sum of money un-
der such circumstances? The first intimation

lance was in the World of this morning.
Where she has been since she left this coun-
try do not know. L have never inquired.
Since the day took my hat from the peg I
