her husband, who sends his love TO her,
aud said he had written her a longer
letter, which she will receive about the

Mrs Monaghan places implicit con-
hdsnca In the cablegrams received aud she
has all faith in the integrity OF her hus-

money that belonged to her individually,
and 1t was ssnt agsiust the edvices OF her

be only too glad to do So She has
written to the consul at Sydney long

two photographs of her husband, one
late vignette and the other full length
portrait, which she desired the consul
to compare with the man who calls him
self &. Jones Monaghan. II the photo
graphs and the man tally correctly, the
consul is to hand him the letter.
Mr. Monaghan's sign still remains on
his office door, and his books and papers
are all much rs he left them when he
went away.sit being the desire Of his
wife that when he returns il be should
come back, he may find as few changes as
