Jealousy was undoubtedly the cause Of
the death of Mile. Annette Gaspard, a
young French lady, who lived in a pretty
villa near Versailles. She was only TWEEN
ty-three years old and her own mistress.
For years she had an aversion to the male
sex. but skilled employe in a porcelain
mandatory named Scere lately obtained
q strange influence over her. Scere had an
ungovernable temper, however, and his
frequent outbursts of passion led the fair
Annette to secretly favor the attentions of
another young man. Scere tainted her for
perfdy. and shortly afterward her dead
body, bathed in blood, was found in her
villa observation-disclosures which suggested
suicide. The police, however, think Scere

Long before the conventional time had
expired, says Mrs. Partridge, he began TO
press his suit ardently; she consented, and
loaned him 81 900 to help in his real estate
business. Soon after he cooled and sent
her, so she says, this message: Il will
marry no woman who will not give me
$4,000 As matter of fact, | am not go

Mrs. Partridge has a little property
only a few thousands. She had surren-
dered that to her children, and given up
her nice home with them in expectation of
becoming a Joyce, and now her idol is
shattered and her hearth is desolate. Mr..
joyce swears it is no such thing; that he
never made love to or promised to marry
her: that he only borrowed the $1,000, and
will repay it as soon as he can. And so
Jury will have to decide.
There is nothing amusing, but great
deal that is curious, in the experience of

Dakota as a teacher of Indians, and soon
announced her intention to marry a fellow
