“One would accept his proposal and

Into a seat and almost faihted.”
At this point -the egr stopped and
the girl stepped aboard. “Did she ac-

The girl replied, but her words
were drowned by the rumble of the

When Mrs. Casgle Chadwick reach-
ed \he penitentiary she, was greeUsd-
with scenes familiar to "Mme-. Lydia
DeVcre," the Toledo- fortune teller,
and she will live over again the pris-
on life of that hypnotic-powered pris-
oner, says a dispatch frojji Columbus,
Ohio.
There will be no strangeness to
the 'scenes, for they are unchanged
since Cassie Chadwick, the most fam--
ous woman frenzied financier of the
age, was Lydia De/Yere, and did time
for filching money out of a foledo
man in Connection with the parentage
of a child'.
>Nor will there be any change In
the mode of" pTIkoitk life from that
which obtained when she was there
as Mme. De Vere. It’s the same old.
work room and the same old work qf
making underwear and shirts for the
male prisoners. Cassie will return to
the. needle whjch she piled when she
was In as Lydia.
The tPWale department of the pris-
on is located at the southeast corner
of the institution groupds, surrounded
by a thirty-foot wall, and in this way
completely shut off from the male
portion of the building, which It
abuts.
The life of Cassie will be a secorvd-
storjf one at all \imes, axeepi the
breathing spells granted for health’s
sake, during which the women; are ex-
ercised In the open yard within the.
-Inclosing wall.
Cassie’s cel) is more roomy than
the rest and has the aiTvajitage of an
east .window that catclieff the cheer-
ing morning ^un. This cell is No. 9.
