GERMAN THEATER; 3 September。 YOUR
HONORI hasten to send you the inclosed letter which I found in my
mail this morning。 It seems to have an important bearing on the hearing
in the Feuerstein case; which I see by the papers comes up before you to…
day。 Very truly yours;
WILLIAM KONIGSMARCK;
Manager。
The magistrate handed the inclosure to a clerk; who was a German。
‘‘Read it aloud;'' he said。 And the clerk; after a few moments' preparation;
slowly read in English:
To the Public:
Before oblivion swallows meone second; I beg!
I have sinned; but I have expiated。 I have lived bravely; fighting
adversity and the malice which my superior gifts from nature provoked。
I can live no longer with dignity。 So; proud and fearless to the last; I
accept defeat and pass out。
I forgive my friends。 I forget my enemies。
Exit Carl Feuerstein; soldier of fortune; man of the world。 A sensitive
heart that was crushed by the cruelty of men and the kindness of women
has ceased to beat。
CARL FEUERSTEIN。
P。 S。 DEAR。 MR。 KONIGSMARCK Please send a copy of the
above to the newspapers; English as well as German。

The magistrate beamed his kindliest upon Hilda。 ‘‘The charge
against you is absurd。 Your arrest was a crime。 You are free。''
Hilda put her hand on Otto's arm。 ‘‘Let us go;'' she murmured
wearily。
As they went up the aisle hand in hand the crowd stood and cheered
again and again; the magistrate did not touch his gavelhe was nodding
vigorous approval。 Hilda held Otto's hand more closely and looked all
round。 And her face was bright indeed。

THE FORTUNE HUNTER
Thus the shadow of Mr。 Feuerstein of vanity and false emotion; of
pose and pretense; passed from her life。 Straight and serene before her
lay the pathway of ‘‘work and love and home。''
