Ju declined to grant Mr or counsel fees pending the trial the separation suit. , Mr. Conroy, who is married, an& was formerly associated with the banking house of Lee, Higginson & Co., is said to have written in one letter that he had been overheard by Mrs. Conroy to say in his sleep that it was several days since he had written to Mrs. Duffy. “I was told by her (Mrs. Conroy,) the letter continues, “that I had to give an answer as to whether I love her or you best. My clothes were hid- =den, so I couldn’t go out and write to you, but I managed to scrape to- gether a few garments, and here I am writing in my bathroom. Please ex- cuse the pencil.” The writer added that he craved some answer to his love and signed himself *“You right loving Tom.” In another short and fervid missive he says: . Alas, It's a Cruel World. “This is a cruel world, dear. I would give anything to have you for my wife. If T had you I could make you forget your troubles. I could live for you only. I would die try- ing, at least. Grace, I love you. Oh, how I do really love you. Your own Tom.” The tender passion apparently was ery bad for the health and spirits of the writer. In another letter he said he had slept two hours a week and had lost sixteen pounds, but de- spite this he said he still wanted to be “lover and comforter” to Mrs. Duffy, whether she cared for his love or not. ‘Oh, for a kiss of vour sweet lips and a look into your eyes of blue!"” he wdded. Another letter saj “I played bridge Friday afternoon and misplayed so badly every hand I held that Judge Mulqueen said he had never seen me play so badly. The judge said he would diagnose my case as love. T blushed because he had hit me right. “But, dear, I crave the opportunity to crush you in my arms. I cannot tfve without you. I swear that I will have you for my own dear little wife some day, even if we both have to jump to the other end of the world. I try to read, but I see your sweet face on every page, and I do nothing but sit and think “My heavens,” another letter say “it drives me crazy to think that I am pouring out my heart to you. My heart is beating with love for you.” U.S. AS MONEY CENTER Pictures in stice Giegerich . Duify alimony of Curopean Fnancial Writer America As Gold Power Before and During Great Struggle Abroad.

New York, Sept. 19.—It has definite- ly been decided upon that a quartet of American athletes will invade Swe- den this autumn upon the invitation of the sports authorities of that pro- gressive countfy in order to aid in providing competition for the Swedes, which has not been forthcoming be- cause of the world fracas abroad. The four who have been nominated to take up the cudgels for the stars and stripes are Fred Murray, the national champion at the 220-yard hurdles; Bob Simpson, the high hurdle title holder and admittedly the fastest man in the world today over the obstacles; Joe Loomis, the recent de- posed 100-yard premier, and Ted Meredith, who was deposed recentl from his proud position as the best in the land at running 440 yards. Al- together, with the exception of the weights, in all lkelihood America could not be represented by a strong- er quartet. That they will not hav matters all their own way however, is predicated by the fact that the Swedes have some athletes themselves who may make their presence felt. It has been arranged for the men to leave these shores Sept. 23 on the steamer Oscar II, for Christiania, with the contests scheduled for Christiania Oct. 12, Stockholm, Oct. 14 and Co- penhagen Oct. 21. It may be neces sary to make a change in the schedule in view of the fact that the voyage will require twelve or fourteen days because of the possible holding up of the ship by the English authorities, which would leave the men scant time in which to rid themselves of their sea legs and consequently leave them in a measure unfit, although it is the intention of the athletes to leave here perfectly ready for competition.
