In this instance the bride to be. though one time pret- ty, was a slave to the morphine habit, and therefore had become anything but desirable for a wife, apart from the fact of her money. The prospective groom was an English lord, and the marriage had been arranged before the principals met. He came to this coun- try to claim his bride, and on the oc
 casion of their meeting Ae discovered her in the act of taking the awful drug. He was mortified; there was an inn
