however, and under the pretenoe Of not
listening he continued writing with as
sumed indifference.
1T is such hint-hearted villains as
you who make women's hearts grow
cold also. You lead US on TO hopes OF
better and purer life only to dash them
away when you throw US aside, as a
child does discarded toy.
Yet you go forth into the world and
place in society is willingly made for
you: respectful treatment meets you on
all sides and your past actions are never
referred to-while We poor women, who
in an unguarded moment lay ourselves
open 10 the censure OF the world, are
forever condemned, and the mud which
smirches our garments leaves a stain
which can never be washed out Why
is IL so none can answer. All that the
world does is 10 keep on throwing mud
at the poor defenceless woman and lion
ize the demon who h&s caused her down
fall"
What has all that eloquence 10 do
with the present case2" asked Mr..
limerick, looking up from his work
Every thing" replied the woman,
who was now thoroughly exasperated.
You led me TO believe that you were
in earnest and now you tell me you were
joking. Do you suppose / am going TO
submit TO such treatment without a
murmur? No, indeed. Either you
marry me and take me with you 10
New York, or you do not 60 yourself
II am interested TO know how you
will prevent me from going, my fair
tigress.' he replied.
The means will be forthcoming"
was the answer.
"My dear woman, you might as we'll
attempt 20 stop the flow OF the La Plata
river as to try and thwart the plans Of
Julius Limerick. / shall go and moth
ing will prevent me-your interference
will count as naught"
THE interference will not come from
me directly" responded the actress
Then will you kindly inform NE
from what source l may expect it?" he
asked.
'Yes, I will, and you shall have q
chance OF escape" was the womsn's
reply.
Name the chance and you shall
know my resolve in a moment" said
Mr.. limerick.
The actress was sitting on the oppo-
site side OF the desk and as she gazed at
the he2rtless man before her ske seemed
20 transfx him with her look She was
quieter now and calmly commenced:
THE other night there was card
party at your house" At these words
he opened wide his eyes and said: yes,
what of it2' The woman continued:
There was present at that party
handsome Englishman, and be caused a
quarrel by accusing you and your
friends OF cheating him. I"
"Yes," replied the merchant that is
so"
Where IS the Englishman nowp'
asked the actress
That Is not in nv power 70 tell; vby
do you ask me7" said Mr.. limerick
Because at daylight Of the morning
your party broke up there was to have
been duel and since then the English
man has not been seen. You know. or
ought 10 know, where he is and unless
be IL soon found ron and your friends
will have 70 account for him. A. pres
