an English private collection. A year
ago he states that he went to Flor.

success there at first. After a time
he found himself In money difficulties.
and he acknowledges that worry acted
upon his nerves. One day he was car.
ried of from his abode by forclble
means, and coaHacd In a lunatic asy.

most desperate by confinement with
insane patients, maniacs, degenerates,
and imbeciles In various states of
mental disorder. he kept sufficient con.
troll over himself to reassure his doc.
tors. whom he describes as fools, and
ut length he was allowed to take walks
In Florence with a keeper. This af.
forded him the opportunity for which
he was waiting. and one day he fed
from his attendant, eluding the lat.
ter's pursuit. lie was free. but abso.
lutely pennlless. Nevertheless. he de.
cided that his only plan for safety was
to reach the French frontier. He
walked to Leghorn then by Viareggio
and La Spezzia to Genoa, where. worn
out with fatigue and nearly starving
he sank down fainting In the porch Of
church. Some charitable persons
found him, and by their assistance he
was able to travel to Marseilles. No
