Thi- i- perfectly scandalous.The woman is out ami gone. In the place of the bride with radiant smiles to meet him at the door he found a desolate room and a letter on the center tabh—a cold, formal, dig-hitifd letter that - an k the iron of deepest sorrow in his heart and left him thoroughly wounded in ever\re-1 eet.The letter contained no word of cen-ure tor tin* abandoned hu-hand, except tliat he was uiireasonable in in-i-tin^r on such a ha-ty marriage.

She declared she would die rather than live with her mother after that.The letter left on the table by the fugitive bride set out among other things that (ieorge need not enquire for her or make any effort to trace her footsteps, for it would be useless. “Onlv ntiserv is in store for me if I stay here/* she wrote. “I am jroinj; far away from here. Let me he dead to you. I am perfectly brokenhearted. You must jret a divorce a- soon a- possible, for all is over with us forever.

She left the place between 2 and 1 o’clock in the afternoon, and has disappeared a* completely and mysteriously a- if the earth had opened and swallowed her.
