When I came to tnyaelf I aaw several crsom atmiilltii.' lxut we, one, a woman, with a hotllc of smclllnB salts In her linnd. I tried to recall where I was going. I could not. Then I tried to re-"all from where I had c-omc I failed In tills loo. Doubtless I appeared daied to (hose atsMit me, for n woman said. "She'll come nil right preenlly. Glre her n chance to collect her faculties." After I had hern nsled n few question- I cau tho-o ntxuit me to tinder-stnnd tinder-stnnd thnt t wMicd to lie left alone, ami niie nfler the other they went to their seflK Then to my horror t found that 1 didn't tnow my "W" "nu,c- -didn't Know my nrcntV name nor who they were Kverylhlns to) nnd the treent wni lost In ubtltloii. Would It nil conic ImcW? I liellcud It would. Hut It did not. I looked la my purse nnd found tickets to n city and hank hills to tho muount of $21, besides some sllrer. I searched among a few slips of wicr hoping to eo niy nnine. There wns not n word to suggest sug-gest who I wns. Not caring to go Into a large city In sih h n i imdltloii I got off at n Kiihurhan station, It r. us springtime. I passed n snug collnge, In the grounds of which were two little girls playing. I craved some one to speak to and preferred pre-ferred these Innocents to any ono else. The gate was open, and I entered the yard, calling to them to come to mo.

Ills household was run by nn elderly woman. There was also n nurse Tor the children. Ho told the former to giro me n room for tho night, and he nnd I nnd the children dined together. After dinner ho Informed mo of slept he proposed to take on the morrow to discover my Identity, suggesting that I examine my clothing to discover If there was n mark that would help tin. After dinner I went to my room nnd nmdu tho I'xamlimtlnn. There was nothing to give any clew. Mr. Scngrave, the gentleman, telephoned tele-phoned an advertisement to n newspa per In tho city describing me and tho Incident connected with me, IIo sstd he thought my relatives would be on tho lookout for such a notlco and I would bear from them very soon. "IIo also gave me permission to remain In his houo till I wns claimed or tny memory relumed.

I Judged (hat 1 wits about twenty-one years old. Mad I In-en married? If so my husband would doubtless inovo heaven mid earth to (lml me. When three weeks had gone by I tendered ten-dered Mr.Heagrtnn my JIM for my keep and (old him that It was all I had. lie offered to discharge the, nurse nnd make inn tho governess of his children, I gladly accepted. A ibrtnr who was called In to sco mo said that be was of the opinion my loss of memory had lcou occasioned either by n former sickness or trouble. I showed no sign of having been III, and there wns no evidence of a past (rouble. What I hud Itecn I knew not, I knew that I was very happy In Mr. Bcagnne' home.
