L.,e.. ale of woe from her hrs s4e s,.1: "L iirst met D. fi-.-p-o : Do.ge City, Kansas, an k-lssS City. He W .ae1 D os4-sag ais profession 'C ~ l.y. ~ocams iRfStuate1 with A.l2 10 an extent that 1 cannSt now understand. We were engaged and one day l accepted an invita- tion to take ride into the country with him. He told me he had the necessary papers for our marriage, and asked me if I would have the kno. ted then. WIS very willing, nd We cove 10 a house where he i,' .G1~.e- TIC to a jCstice O. the pe9ee, q 1e saiC., who performed .le nat. .se ceremony. He had be- foe e1 -3- to 90 oa the coad " ! nm. ,nl l old him would tr3. w.r- 70 man not my husband, and tha he reason of the we'd ding. It was a farce, as l learned about three months ago, also that the justice was To justice at all, and that l had been duped al the way through. After We started on the road we played to good houses, but as fast as the money was made he lost it on the gambling table. Idid not mind that, for loved him so dearly that all l cared for was to be with him. It was only shortly after we started out that he became cruel to me, often beating me, and much more severely than he did here; he would call me vile names, and beat me a good many times"
 "Wha did you go brokei"
 We Went broke pretty often, but always had jewelry or something to pawn to get us out of the serape.' 5
 " When did you lose your love for him2r
 "When I found out for fact that was not his wife. I lost confidence in him, of course, but l loved him, and I wa. terribly afraid of him. He had whipped me so often and to kill me that I was afraid of my life. I did not know what to do. It was when he pro posed that I do the awfullest thing of all, become,-well-you know-a .a-to get money from other men you know-tO earn money by pros when he had lost what 1 had earned legitimateiy, that the full horror of my situation and of his baseness became plain to me"
 q suppose you are broke now"
 "Oh, yes; have no money. 1 am poorer than 1 ever was before since I went on the road. 1 mean to get to do in Denver and rest a little, and then l suppose l will go on the road again. But am through with men. Ii has been an awful ex- perience."
 "You have had the hardest time here of allf"
 Indeed, no. I have financially, out he has beaten me much more severely than he did here"
 'Is Gillespie his real namef'
 "No, l believe not. His name he 1 old me here when he told me he 1 lsd a wife living, to be Charles Perry Gillespie, but was told when trusted him that his name was Jbarles Gillespie Perry, and be- ieve that now"
 "Then you did not know three months ago that he had wifei"
 'I did not know that till he told ne here, and 1 immediately got an- ,ther room for the night. l know hat my marriage was farce, and had been told by others that he vas married, but did not belieyeit. I lid not know that any other woman lad claim on him, and 1 had gone 'n so long thinking was his wife hat oh, well tcryingj l don't know 5hat 1 thought. l was awfully in ove with him once"
 He is something of a schemerl" "Indeed he is. He can talk lan's money out of his pocket if ny man alive can. Then he don't are for being caught after he gets he money" Your home is in Georgia'"
 "Yes, such home as l have. 1 ave had no parents since l was oung. I have been on the stage inc years"
 Does Gillespie know the secret your poweri'
 'No, and neither do I. That is onest." As corroborative of the woman's ory, it may be stated that Giles ie brought with him when in Pres ,tt, fine outfit of dental tools, hich he sacrificed here for about le-fifth of their real value.
