been solved by tie admissions of the

The motive for De Raylan's mas
querade, which had been kept up for
fifteen years, is mixed. Part Of it
dates back to her early affair with
Z girl in Southern Russia, at the first
period OF her assuming manhood
and part OF the explanation is found
in her connection with the revolu-
tionary "bunds" III this country and
Russia.

De Raglan, both unbosomed them
selves in explaining the mystery"
There was no great secret dating
back to an affair with nohleman

was of the common classes OF the
southern part. The eleven-year-old
boy who had been reported as being
the real child of the De Raglan wo-
man, is in reality, as Mrs. Anne De
Reylan has stated, her own child.
The boy is the son of Joseph Arm
strong, her former husband, and the
register of the birth is in the city
hall. Armstrong appeared and claim
ed the fatherhood. The reported kid
mapping of the boy is fiction, ac-
cording to Mrs. De Raglan.
