case were divulged. She, however,

the dastardly work which resulted in
the girls death.
Attempts were made by those who
were with her, to induce her to tell
who her deceiver was and who per-

without betraying either OF them.
The first knowledge her parents had
that their daughter was not at Menan
was telegram informing them that
she was dead in Butte. Her brother
went to that city and brought the

earn her own living where life was
