Whllo on tho way to Coney Islands,

gust."
"Yes, snid Tilton, "my wifo mndo a

nonorably ot me. They dnreu not let it
go out."
"What is

"Well," said Tilton, "It it n kind of club

about 'J,t!UO mornber. Tbero nro alto

"Mr Tilton," taid I, approaching this
dollcato ouettion after a pauso, "how can
you make tho world understand that curi
ous theory that your wife could surronder
to tho embraces of another and still bo
nuro at heart 7"
"Became," tald Tilton, "I know it from

have toon ; from the absolute possession
of hor wbolo nature by the roligtous af

I then put a question quite personal :
"Sir Tilton, may not that confusion of tho

"Well." said 1, "you did writu the
IVoodhull's lifo?" "1 did." said Sir
Tilton, "to keep of)' the imputation from
my family. I had never teen Sirs Wood-
