shadow of a Irritation. "And then
give your attention to an unfortunate

TO be put in the pillory.'
For Elsie's sake, Them he replied,
laughing.
Then the actress told her story non
1mously.
May I call your husband namcs:'
asked Percival.
III you please"
he wants you to stand by and see
yourself and your child insulted, while
Ae ignores your existence and marries
again; he wants you to be the accom-
llice in a crime in which you lose all

you to accept this bare promise to ac-
knowledge the boy as soon as he is of

prove his identity with your husband
will, perhaps be dead-and he threat
ems to follow, rob and annoy YOU, to
cake the boy-to-good heavens, I can.

I'm that case you are quite safe.
There may be one or two bad hats
