of the young men of Tiltou She made her home at this period with the long suffering Mrs. Triton. and on occasion made pilgrimages to Boston where she attempted to win fame and money among the Sprtualists, but always returned penniless and dejected.
 Mrs Eddy in her writings inveighs against the married state--for others For herself she has certainly taken three husbands. probably four and possibly five.
 Among the young men of that section who paid attention to the widowed di- Vorcee. who once more called herself Mrs Mary Baker Glover. was John H. Bartlett of Hill, N. II. Mrs. Glover was paid marked attention by Bartlett. and announced her engagement to him. When Bartlett went away to California Mrs. Eddy, according to Mrs. Philbrook, stated that she had married him. She contln ued. however, to call herself Mrs. Glover.
 At the expiration of about three years word came from California that Bart lett had met his death there and that he lay buried in an inaccessible part of the coast Mrs Glover at once put on mourning, grieved publicly and insisted upon Bartlett's father holding mock funeral of his The funeral took place, Mrs. Glover Bartlett posing as chief mourner and wearing full widows weeds. according to the testimony of several of her associates of that period now living.
 From the time of the disappearance of Dr. Patterson to the advent of No. or 1. in the person of Asa Gilbert Eddy, or Gilbert Asa Eddy, as he has been vari- ously called, Mrs. Glover cut remark able figure from time to time In Triton society. She had no visible means of ch 1aH life Of ease in the home of her sister Mrs Iii ton.
 At times her violent temper would in- volve her in auarrels which resulted in her temporary removal to the home 9f her father. His death in 1S6o left her at times the guest of her mother-la-law. with whom she was not on the best of terms.
 Her petulance and other pecularities are attested by John B. Moves, Mrs Moves, Mrs Philbrook and Mrs. George Baker She developed a high state Of nerves, and would manage to fall in faint at the feet of a crowd of men. so that she might be carried home, say the witnesses. She had chair swing constructed in her bed room in her sisters house. The swing hung from the center of the ceil- ing in this Mrs. Glover was wont 10 swing until she became sleepy. A small boy named Lang, now deputy sheriff of the county, was frequently called in 10 swing Mrs. Glover at such times as John Varney, the farm hand, was not available.
 Mrs Glover carried her eccentricity so far as to have a cradle constructed out of a huge sofa in the home of her rather, in which she had to be rocked 10 sleep every night. John Varney Is said to have been sent for to rock Mrs. Glover when she had particular tantrums At
 
 girl, and living next door to the Baker home. was impressed into the service.

Mrs. Abigail Triton. I frequently saw Mrs. Eddy then Mrs. Patterson, ly- ing in a bed made of long, broad lounge under which rockers had been placed. often sat at the end of this cradle and rocked her. She was then as old as 50 years
 In a signed statement. Mrs. PhilorooK, who is the wife of a Methodist clergy man. says: ''I knew Mary Baker from the lime she was IA knew of John Var nev,s being sent for to keep her From barning herself during her Iysteria after taking morphine It made her crazy I myself have gone to get the Lang boy to rock Mary Baker.
 Mary behaved like fiend Tn her SIS ter's house and finally took on so that Mrs Tilton's life was made miserable. To can the climax Mary accused her nephews and nieces of steai'rg her watch. money and jewelry. Then 1t was that Mrs Ti;tar ordeI cd ha" fro n her door. She had borne with Mary ecccn'rtc'tle5 until she could bear no mo"e. She go hated Mary throughout the balance or her life that she would not pc 'mit ner iain " +o notify Mary of her illness when she was about to dis. md begged that Mary might not be informed of her death until after she was buried. Mrs, Hilton even went to the length of sending word to Deputy Sheriff Lang, begging him to re- strain Mary if she attempted to attend the funeral.
 Here follows a part of Mrs. Phllorook statement which bears directly upon the allegation that Mrs. Eduy is io" oSihs of cancer. -
 "All of the Bakers were cursed with cancer. It affected both sides Of Mary Bakers family. Her father had can cer cut from his face before he died, and I understand that her mother was afflicted, although she died' | oeneve, of tvnhoid fever.

Mary Baker WAS addicted to hysteria Dr. T.add. her family physician, declined again and again to hasten to her side Finding herself barred from the lux urv of her sisters home and thrown once more upon her resources, Mrs. Mary Baker Patterson Glover determined to essay some sort of spirituallstie or oc- cult teaching. She was utterly ignorant of occultism, but had heard of pr. Phi meas P. Quimby of Portland, Me, man of considerable repute in his own local ity. and who had founded new cult which abjured medicine.
 Mrs. Patterson had learned Of this man of science, and oft n spoke or desire to meet him.
