 By this time. poor old Carouzo was financially embarrassed by the expenses he had been involved in unnecessarily, and the young wife was also in poor health. The young duke was persuad- ed by the lawyer to break away from the matrimonial tie, and reconcile himself with his wealthy father. a plan
 to which the young man was nothing averse. Accordingly he made his escape while his wife was asleep. and left the city. The deserted wife, who at first imagined that Marc had gone to try Iand persuade his father into forgiving him., was told by the lawyer that her husband repudiated her as his lawful wife, and offered her $125,000 as com pensation for the equivocal position she found herself in. Marika indignantly refused the money, saying she was mar ried to Marc according to the laws Of neE country, anu pTeIcTTcu tcttlHE siCE little girl starve than she should bear

 It is extremely difficult to cash any l American check or draft in Paris, while these drawn on institutions known tc
