A GAY LIFE AND PITIFUL END

A GAY LIFE AND PITIFUL END.
Mrs. Bessie Wheeler, the erring wife
Of Sherwood Wheeler, of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, ran away from her home a year
,go. She had been bride for twelve
months and had everything that any
,ne could ask except employment.
Foo much leisure led her to seek dis
raction in the companionship of un-
desirable acqusintances. What at first
was only unconventionality soon be-
came absolute wrong-doing. Then
came her disappearance and the
wrecking of her husbands happints'.
When the Owl train from Washing
ton arrived at Bridgeport at l o'clock
Sunday morning gray haired old man
Alighted from q coach and tremblingly
approached the baggage Car. An un
dertaker's wagon drove up to the side
of the Car, and coffin containing the
remains of once beautiful girl was
transferred to it and carried to mag
nificent house on Norman avenue.
Bessie Wheeler was dead. She had
died at the Hotel Lawrence, Washing
ION, of pneumonia, after rapid course
in that city, aud the hotel people found
among her effects only the address OF
the old, broken.hesrted father, who
quickly responded to the sad telegram.
They buried her on Sunday. She
had died in Washington, aud her
broken hearted father went on to bring
