For the next week or two there were
no new developments either in regard
10 Percy Lowell or the Bregys fortune.
Eugene and his mother, acting on the
advice of Mr.. Blodger, made rapid
preparations 70 leave for France, and
had even taken passage on the LA Gas
coigne" for the early part OF May.
Mr.. Wilcox was suffering intense
anxiety on account of not hearing from
Percy, and longed for the time 70 come
when he would receive some informa-
tion by mail from the American Consul,
TO whom ne had telegraphed asking him
TO make inquiries. In fact so great
was the old fellows anxiety that he
began to show signs of it in his feat
ures. The old gentleman was very ro-
bust and could have combatted success
fully any severe physical trial, but the
stress of worry on his mind owing TO the
halo of uncertainty which surrounded
the fate of his chosen friend and COM
panion were too much for him. He
grew restless, sometimes even irritable,
and finally was told by his medical
adviser that he must cease TO trouble
himself so much or he would be very
sick man. Still nothing could divert
his thoughts, and on the day that Mr..
limerick landed in New York from the
Rio steamer, Mr.. Wilcox was compelled
to take to his bed. The strain on his
mind had been too much and he had TO
succumb. Mrs. Delaro and Armida had
done their utmost to cheer him, and had
endeavored to force him to eat and
drink, and take amusement to divert
his thoughts, but their efforts were of
no avail.
