There Is little more to telL In the few following days I managed to crape enough together to take ma to the foreign country where I am now beginning life over, and have prob ably weathered the storm as well ai could reasonably be expected. But of course I will never again feel just as I used to, and I don't believe that I will ever fall In love with another woman. In a business way I hav done fairly well, having worked con scientiously for the last three years, and being once more on the road to moderate success. I have never seen1 or heard from Mrs. Dace since the time I left her shopping in the store upon the day when I stepped from paradise into bell at a single stride. She is probably floating down the Nile -or yachting on the Mediterranean with Richard Mackay; enjoying her self to a greater or less extent, and I have no doubt thinking quite often of me. The thought or It still gnaws me most of the time, but of one thing I am confident to this day. And that "Under the Horror of That Moment All Strength Left Me." Is that she was really very fond of me and would, as she herself said, have preferred to spend her life with me rather than anybody else had I possessed sufficient money. There fore she wanted me to succeed and encouraged me to desperate chances, knowing as I myself did that it was the only chance of achieving fortune quickly; she not being one of the kind that is content to wait for what possessed sufficient money. Had I won, I have no doubt that she would have married me and that we would have been happy had the money lasted. And I also believe that she was upon the verge of consenting to our immediate union when my disaster came. Neith er have I any doubt but that Mackay was Infatuated with the woman, saw that I was winning her and started out to get rid of me. He probably learned of my speculations, and knowing that if he could wreck them It would effectively dispose .of me so far as she was concerned, ruthlessly tore down the fortunes of many that I might be crashed in the crash. And be succeeded perfectly. Mrs. Dace, being convinced by him that I was mined, and probably having been wavering somewhat between us; pre ferring me, but being tempted by his wealth, hesitated no longer when she became satisfied that I could not give her what she had made up her mind to have. Realizing as I did all along that we never could have been happy without considerable money, I would not have blamed her particularly for making the choice that she did had not Mackay been a married man. Even as it Is, I bear her no 111 will and do not believe that she was an immoral woman. There was a great deal of good In her, but she was selfish and cared little for the suffer ings of others provided she gained her own pleasures. The only fear I have of ever again committing a crime is in case I should happen to run across that black scoundrel Mac kay. If I should see him I am afraid I might run amuck. ' I Bruce and Clare are married and are happily spending the money of dead Uncle Ahner, who cut me off with a shilling. And that brings me to the reason far writing this confes sion. Uncle Ahner having passed into the great beyond, I no longer havs any fear that I will be prosecuted, and I never would be able to feel that I had made my fullest reparation un less I cleared Bruoe. For In some way a few things leaked out, and while his friends have cftmg to him with the greatest loyalty, there are others who have always looked nnon him with more or less suspicion since the night of the robbery. And I know that the consciousness of this is a cloud that forever hovers upon the horlson of their ptherwlse bright lives, and it is, therefore,, my moral duty to dispel it. As for myself,- It makes little difference If the truth is now known, as none of my former ac- ouajntances know where I am and 1 shall never return to my old home. Nor do I ask forgiveness or make apology beyond this statement I was not a thief by nature and am thor oughly repentant But I wss young and madly enraptured with the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, snd took desperate chances to gain her. And my love for her, though passion filled, was pure. I wanted her tor my wife. As I stole for her, so would I have slaved for her; foughf for her; died for her. Therefore I only ask that you Judge me as you would be Judged had you been in my place. Caught helplessly in the maelstrom of love and gaming. I went down in the vortex. THE END.
