Among Carlile's papers is letter from
Mrs. Garlic to Kingsberry, in which
she speaks of having received his plct-
ure, tells him it is not as handsome as
he is, expresses yearning to see shln
and hear his voice, refers to his great
wealth and her own longing to berlch
and happy, and generally exposes very
queer state of mind for faithful WIFE ,
to be in.

A THoUSAND-DoLLAR DRAFT.
In telling his story Garlic was very
theatrical. He talked as though ne
were declaiming in public, uslng'ithe
arts of the elocutioniSt and emphasizing
his points by extravaganza gestures. 1t,
was evident that he regarded the situa-
ton as very dramatic, and that his
weak, vacillating nature was largely re-
Sponsible for the miserable mess he had
made of his once promising prospects.
He could see the immortality of the
course he had pursued, but had not
strength of moral fiber to resist the pres
sure that pushed him into that course.
Continuing his story, he said he had
given his wife 81 900 draft belonging
TO Miss Crute, after signing the agree
ment, and then noticed marked change
in her manner toward him.

when she heard that Sally was here,
but, on the contrary, was much relieved.
She had a return ticket in her pocket,
and could have gone back il she wanted
to- She did not sell that ticket until re-
Gently. When she met Sally they EN-
braced and kissed each other, and she
took great interest in fixing up the
house. 1t is true that | compelled her
to take Sally out. She did it willingly.

"All went well until [ was taken sick

want to rob the girl or leave her prop

a question as to ownership, and so
called my wife one day and told her that

Then the storm broke. She said had

quarrel that arose over my decision to
do right by Sally that Mrs. Garlic left
the house and made all this fuss. She
said it would expose US to the people of
Napa as pretenderS; they would see
that we had nothing and were making a
splurge with Sally's money, and the eX-
posture would ruin US just as we were
getting into position to make our for

EXPOSED AFTER ALL. ~
"NOw, see what she has done! The
woman must be crazy. She has exposed

Garlic alleges is true she knew it and

compromise it if yoH can. But it
doesn't make much difference. Your
quarrel and the filing of the suits has
made the exposure inevitable"
''But Mrs. Garlic demands, besides
| all the property own, that | shall get
$4,000 from Miss Crute and give it to
her. Should L do that?:''
ssNot unless you are an utterly aban-
doned scoundrel; that would be con-
summating the very scheme that seems
to have been laid to get Miss CruteS
money. The success of these suits
would be the success of the plot. No, |
think on the whole that you had better
commit suicide than do that"
| "Well, | will. I'll die before | ask
Miss Crute to give $4,000 to settle my
suit. But | am willing to give Mrs.
Garlic all own in the world"
In the evening Garlic and his at
| torney had consultation with Ii. nj.
BarstOw, of Mrs. Carlile's counsel, in
| the presence Of the Examiner man.
Garlic repeated his remarks about the
nature of the expose involved in the
suits, and virtually confessed that Miss
Crute had been robbed of $4,000 in the
course of his efforts to make profit for
himself by investing her moneys. He
drew a very lurid picture of the dis
grace and ruin that would overtake him
self and wife, and altogether made a
pitiable spectacle Of himself as weak
sentimentalist, who had drifted into
| knavery through lack of moral stamina
and mental fiber.
AS the result of the conference Garlic
submitted to Mr.. Barstow the following
offer of settlement:
To Mrs. Garlic and Her Counsel.

tween you and myself, entitled Mary S.
