PURSUED ACROSS THE SEA.

Frieda Urnstein's four years' search for the man who once wrote her let-

ters promising to marry her, sending 1000 kisses in each letter, and saying she was with him in all his dreams, came to an end when Leo Grielsheimer, a travelling salesman, was arrested at Philadelphia. Miss Urnstein, who has brought a suit for £2000 damages, states in her affidavit to the court that she had looked for her fickle lover in Germany for three years, and last autumn learned that he had gone to America. She followed him at once, tut didn't learn where he could be found until a lew days ago. Then she brought her suit. The plaintiff states that she met Grielsheimer in Mannheim in 1905, and that shortly after he proposed to her he wrote the following letter: — "My Dear, Angry, Good Frieda, — Thanks for the violets. My loving, good child, I am longing for you very much. You are with me in all my dreams. O, may those hours soon come again when I can take you in my arms. I close this letter with one thousand kisses." According to Miss Urnstein, Leo Avrote her in 1907 that he had just come in from a trip on the road and found that his firm had failed, and that he must make good £150 he had overdrawn. She furnished the money, j and he then wrote. "Believe me, if it! were not for you I would commit sujicide." The plaintiff says she continued to get requests for money, and kept on seeding it. Once he got £250 because he said he needed it as security for a job that would yield £500. Because he got into financial difficulties later [ she lent him £50 more. Grielsheimer was finally sent to prison for seven months because of a financial entanglement, and while there he continued to write that he would marry her as soon as he got out. She finally won the assent of her parents, but the defendant's letters then began to come less frequently, and shortly after he got out of prison he disappeared. Miss Urnstein asked for the order of arrest because she said she was certain that as soon as Grielsheimer learned that she had followed him he would "leave the country and again lcse himself."
