Miss Cousins Is at present In lan Jose

amid without hesitancy Before speaking
about hersel she said :
" 1 will begin by stating that there were
lany confdcnc s betwecn Mr. Fair , and ,
myself which I cannot touch upon at miii.
Ito toll mime nil about his life-hits successes ,
his failures . his joyS anti his sorrows. Prom
these confdences I concluded thai ho had
been moro sinned against than sInning.
" 1 first lot Mr. Fair In the Iggs imolise

United Statcs senator trol Nevada. I tool
a liking to him at once. The evhlont defects

"I soon learned to admire him \"er ) mucim
and I could see thalha also like ! ! to be In I '
conmmpammy . and seemed to tall an Interest In
my work and In my views of social antipolitical
political commditiona. But this , our . first
friendship , did not grow at omico to an.thlng
moro or Warmer than mutual midimmiratlon. I
In the course oC a few months wo parted , as
true friends Part. lie returned to Nevada
and California and 'I ' resumed ) work tn
11rerent parts oC time world Several years
Passed and we did not meet until some time
after thy mothor's death " tmo
Miss Cousins then : related her trouble with
the World's fair board of lady managers and
her efforts to have a bill passed by congress
to secure panent : for her servlce3 as secre-
tary. She applIed to Fair for Doltcal as-
ststance , and allhough ho said ho hall no
such influence . ho wrote very kIndly anti
anl
asked her to correspond with him. She
responded .
"Anll this , " Miss Cousins resumed , after
a pensive pause Iopened time correspondence
between us which eventually led to our
betrothal. For sense time after that letters
passed betweeu us nt regular Intervals , and
time spirit of th orrepoudenco grow warmcr
and more cont1dnt'al with each letter.
"Simortly after returning to .

Ho seemed very . } lupl pleased nt tbls. "
Then MIss . opmgs , told how Fair was
taken \ a fewda3 1 after this and Ient for
her to come aud nurse hIm : how she min-
istered to his : wunts. In spite..oLtho objections -

"He then said : 'Thank you ; wo must be
married soon-ver soon. ' But ho was stilt
' more or less ill . and this . prevented our "arly
'marrlage. One evening when he was feel-
tag much better . 'we sat . together and talked
about time World's fair and he sold we must

"I should explain all the 10ns of Interest
with which ho was not acquainted from an
historical pint of view.
"And that was time last evening that we
were together " said Miss Cousins with a
deep-drawn sigh. "On the following day Mr
Fair was whisked out of Chicago as I ho
lad been a prisoner or a fugitive from Jus-
tico ,

called away by very ' ) mportant business nmat-
ters . but ' that he would return very soon and
