And shortly after she had passed the sacred threshold, the members were horrified to see the fair Helen arraigned in 1910 in Hants Assizes on the charge of theft of jewels at Cowes and given 12 months imprisonment. Once more, after her release. she ran away from her past and built herself a new. career. When tne great war broke out, she opened a canteen at Andover and did such splendid work that she was decorat- ed by the king. Nobody associated her with the jail-bird. 3 Romi Shattered ¢ It was during this period that a handsome and wealthy young officer met her, pursued a whirlwind wooing and married her. He knew nothing about her save what she had chosen to tell him. .And they lived happily together here at this famous se: side resort, until the old itching for other people’s| property became too strong for her. < Her lawyer’ in his speech to the court thus summed her up: “She is a woman with a moral kink. I am’not in a position to put her before you gs a person mentally ingane, but when she was up for trial once before the prison doctor gave his opinion that she was not respon- sible for hér actions.” Notwithstanding this plea, the court sentenced’ her to six months’ imprisonment.
