l have no certainty that it may not do so
at any minute will just slip away out Of
the hotel; will say no goodbye to her
she may think / have forsaken her; any
thing rather than the TRUTH can easily
remove from myself all marks of personal
Identification, and thenI will know what
to do.
She will never find out, even if by
chance she should ever again hear Of me.

| should like 70 finish this off, should
like to think that into whatsoever hands it
may some day fall, it would make clear
what would otherwise never be known.
And perhaps. after some years, whoeeer
reads it will let her know what was the
truth of it all. l have time enough for
that before lock tins manuscript in my
trunk and send it off by itself home again
to Carrig Frass.
l have been with her all day, and we
were very happy. She has promised to
marry me soon-Quite soon-in few davs
Mother of God, from whose work turned
my hand, give me strength.
She asked me after the table dhOte din
ner this evening to come TO her own little
sitting-roOm to have some tea. She
handed me the cup and | raised it to NV
lips, but as | tried to drink there came
spssm in my throat, and felt could not
swallow. 1t frightened me, but / said
nothing, and We sat for long time talking
and making plans of what we would do
when we were married. Every moment
that was near her, every stir OF her hand
in mine, every touch of her soft cheek as
she leaned her head on my shoulder, sent
rush through my veins of keen love and
desire to live, and even then / was begin
nine to know that it was for me mockery
to talk of the future.
She saw that l had not drunk my tea.
Il will give you more" she said, this is
cold"
She gave it to me, and when she did not
see, tried again to drink it; and again
the spasm and the rigid contraction Of all
the muscles in my throat. So l told her !
did not care for it; and said goodnight
to her; that it was late, God knows have
much TO do, and had much to do, before
1 could sleep, but l shall sleep sound
enough when it is done.
! kissed her twice, three times, as a
dying man kisses crucifix, but to me
those kisses brought no hope.
1t is nearly midnight and l must stop.
I leave her TO God-may He have mercy
on my soul, PIERCE CoRMAC.

Extract Prom 10 Petit Journal, April al
Yesterday evening in the hospital
-, young Hungarian lady, by name
Zdenka Vorschak, died of what is be
lieved TO have been rabies The unfort-
innate lady has been under the treatment
of NJ Pasteur, an0 it is apprehended thai
some violent shock of the nervous system
combined with her own constant dread Of
hydrophobia, caused a nerve crisis in
which many of the phases of rabies were
closely simulated Her death was, how
ever, unattended by thu more violent
symptoms of this frightful malady, and
we understand that some difference OF
opinion prevails among the physicians as
to It's true cause"
