bray, Richard, and the doctor coming from the other car, l kept quiet, hop ing they would not come out, and they did not. They settled down near the door, and ordered the porter to put up table for them to play cards
 The train began to slow down, and fnally came to halt for a longer time on a sidetrack waiting for another train to pass l heard Richard ask where I was. Mrs. Chambray said laughingly that l was safely asleep Then, before l realized it, they began to talk about me. It happened there were no other passengers in the car Richard asked Mrs. Chambray if she thought had any suspicion that l was not on the right train, and she said. Not the slightest and then by de. grees there fioated to me through the open door the most diabolcal plot I had ever heard of. l gathered from it that we were on the way to Philadel- phia, would reach there in a little while, and would then proceed to d place near Washington, where the doc tor had a private insane asylum, and where I was to be shut up. They were going to administer some drug that would make me unconscious when was taken off the train. If they could not get me to take 1t for the headache l had talked about. Mrs. Chambray was to manage to get it into my food or give it to me when asleep. Mrs Chambray 1t seems. had not known the entire plot before leaving Europe, and this was their first chance of tell ing her
 They had arranged every detail. Richard had been using as models the letters l had written him for the last three years. and had constructed set of love letters from me to him, in per. feet imitation of my handwriting They compared the letters and read snatches of the sentences aloud. The letters referred constantly to our be. ing married as soon as should return from abroad, and some of them spoke of the money as belonging to us both. and that now it would come to it's own without any further trouble.
 They even exhibited marriage certificate, which, from what they said, must have been made out with our names, and Mrs. Chambray and the doctor signed their names as witness. es AS nearly as 1 could make out. they were going to use this as evt denCe that Richard was my husband. that he had the right to administer my estate during the time that was incapable. They had even arranged that young woman who was hope lessly insane should take my place when the executors of the estate came to see me, if they took the trouble te do that.
