Manson winced as he remembered some things in that experience, and dreaded something to come, he knew not what ; but he held his peace. They had taken the coach at Ogden, and were fast speeding to-wards Salt Lake, when the lady resumed : " For a long time he wrote so regularly ; then not so often, and now for eight months I have not heard a word. At first I thought it was because he was coming home; and then I got afraid he might be ." She shuddered and paused. But she was too much pleased with the information Manson had given her to treat him as a stranger, and continued her reminiscences. They reached the city, and Mrs. Beatty could scarcely rest till she had learned that her husband had gone to Tooele, and had secured a seat in the next coach for that place. Meanwhile she made a few pur-chases, and again sent for Manson to make some inquiries. As she mechanically unrolled the articles she had bought, talking cheerfully to her new- found friend, her eye fell upon an old copy of the Salt Lake Telegraphy in which they were wrapped. Suddenly her cheerful tones ceased. For a minute she held the paper, with her eyes fixed upon it, then a loud scream rang through the hotel, and she sank ap-parently lifeless upon the parlor floor. There was a commotion in the hotel. The landlady and chamber-maids hurried to help the strange lady. Manson knew that the evil he dreaded had come, whatever it was. When the lady had revived a little, and been taken to her room, he picked up the Telegraph and read this : LEGAL NOTICE. ^ ooSLE^ Coroj^ sS } In the Probate Court f Toode County, October Session, 1868.
