M. ca rrispe drive from Wesleyan College,
1--WE got back about 10. think. and i is my i'm,
preston that there were people on the steps Vi
the college when we came DacK-
DID NOT SPEAK or HIS FAMILY.
Colonel breckenridge denied that he had ever
mentioned the name Of his first wife or spoken OF
his dead little Toy said anything whatever
about his past joys or sorrows on the rue 10 ''e
concert as Miss Pollard had claimed
"Did You make any protesatons Of affection or
make any love 10 the plaintiff that rIde| asked
Major ButiHe a,SGTr.
IBID YOU go 10 hear the concert that night
no We ala not When We had driven a niue wa
we came to two roads that diverged and the driver
took the iefthand road at her order ..,,,,..
What did the appearance of the plaintiff suggest

twenty-five. perhaps nineteen years Old.

Nothing at ali except what she tod me-
How did You come TO TAX that 'ff1hdnd r9 SciG

said perhaps ! would like 10 drive out In the cool
Instead OF going the hot, gaslit concert-room

not care; So when we came to the sdiyersns roads
she tod the driver TO turn to the ieit

carriage ride"
"a MAN WITH PASSION"
II cannot repeat exactly what was said After we
had turned to the left and had ridden some dis
lance ] should say fifteen twenty minutes may
be little longer. she taking about her desire
to become an au,horess and said something about
George Eliot During the conversation she took
of her hat and leaned forward TO put Il on the
front seat. and l put my around her. There
were protestations OF love on my part 80 far as
can reco..ect. There was no offer Of love, no ar
tlhce no notAing-except put my arm around her
and drew her to me. | with passion.
she was woman with passion. and took liberties
with her. This without any protestaton OF love
on my par, without any resistance or protestatlon
on her part"
Madeline Pollard heard this story with cur OF
scOrn her lips. once she half in her chLr
ana drawn back by her attorney. Mr. Carlisle.
How long did you drive after these improper
demons raticns?''
Very soon afterward we turned and drove back.
and she got out OF the carriage"
what conversation did you have on your re-
turn? What did you talk about
HIS OFFER or THE ENVELOPE.
