REMORSE AT LAST?.

In another similar communication Churchill, as we will call her., says:— If I am convicted I suppose I will not see you again ; hut take care of yourself, and go away from England, as you can well imagine what they would do to you even if I get off. I am going into a home "Hon volontaire," as I want to learn to work— also to he patient. Then I will he able to make a start, and I will put myself out of reach of people like

Guerin, as, if I was to go out now, don't you think the same thing might happen again ? Only this time it might end worse, because I know m my heart what he. would do ; and I am sure he will never rest until he does for me. Well, it will not be my fault if he does. Precaution is always better than cure. I should have gone away m the first place, and would have if I had any idea he ever would get out.

It i°> a curious trait m * "Chicago R] -i"- character that deep-dyed as sh> ■•' ■■:.•-. m villainy of the most iiifoin. ■-.!?; kind she often had thought of !.;•'• simple home away m the wil'»s of West Ireland. S+.ill another letter written by her reads m part as follows : —

I was married to a nice young man and living happy m Belleville, New Jerset, U.S.A. ,1 went over to Dublin to see my mother. I met Guerin there. He brought me back to London and then to Paris, not givine* me the slightest idea of wlvi* he was doing.. He used me as a cl'ine. A.fter he' blew up the Amprican express he tooV me h'lfk to England, and just outside of

Paris he was arrested, while I continued my voyage to London. In one month afterwards I went back "at his request to get him legal aid, etc., and was arrested as his accomplice. I waited trial for one year, and he would not let me confess to the truth, or at least as much as I knew. After that they would try me alone and get off with a light sentence. No, he made me go with them, and I got five years' hard labor with expulsion. Of course I had a pardon, but no thanks to him or his friends ; so when I came' out I had'

NO FRIENDS OR NO MONEY. 'I could not go back to my husband's family. My husband got a commission m the American Army m the Philypines, and has never come home. My mother-in-law don't want to receive me after what has happened. I lived here with a man named who. was kind to me. I was completely wrecked both m mind and body. Then Eddy Guerin escapes from South America, comes back here and trys to find mc. I hid away from him as long as I could. Finally we met. I was never able to get away from him. I was always m fear of him, even when we were friends. He took me to Aix la chappelfe and left me there while he went to Milan. While he was away I ran .away from the hotel we were stopping at and came to London, and went and trusted a woman ■who was at one time my maid.
