Austrian watering place. and. after
short nut delight vi acquaintance,
the Nicnnesc discovered that the
American. who had given his name
as Hunt, let Us say, was banker.

IL cannot give you a satisfactory
reply without telling you sad

on to relate the following incident:
Two years before Il charming girl
who was under his guardianship had
married man who had at once set
up in business on his wifc'S capital,
and had become bankrupt. The next
step was his disappearance. and so
discouraged had he been over his
ruined hopes that every one believed
him to have committed suicide.
Within few months. however.
his so;rowing wife had received a
letter from him written from town
in one Of the Western States of
America. He begged her to forgive
him for leaving her. and promised to
send for her as soon as fortune should
once more favor him.
Letters continued to come, now
from one city and now from another.
until he wrote from New York, say
ing that he was in the banking house
of Hunt. at a salary too small t,
allow him to send for her. though
if industry and perseverance, could
advance his interests, she shou'
not have long to wait.
