                   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。 

C。 F。 

       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。'' 



                                         93
