A STRANGE, TRUE STORY.

The Langworthy Marriage.

CHAPTER XXXIX,

A CLEVER CAPTURE,

3-i_E ruse of the false telegram did not do him much service in the end. Mrs Langworthy, whose wrongs were well known to many in the Argentine Republic, had many cor respondents, and one of them, a gentleman whose estatte lies in dose contignity to that of .her husband's, wrote her on the 6th April } when the chase on tbe false scent had been abandoned, announcing that Mr Lang worthy was returning to Buenos Ayres by the La Plata. The ship was to sail from Southampton on the 9th April. This in formation being corroborated by other cor respondents, Mrs Langworthy decided to go down to Southampton and see what could be done by way of levying execution on her husband's goods, in order to compel him to «bey, at -east in part, the -order of the Court.

Messrs Lumley instructed their agents in Southampton to take out a writ oifieri facias and toseize whafceverproperty they could find •consigned to Mr Langworthy. Mrs Lang worthy was to be on the spot to identify her husband's chattels and generally to direct operations. She left Waterloo station for Southampton on the morning of April 8, 1886. How different was the last journey which she had made to the great seaport! T3*r first visit to Southampton had been made in the first rapture of a; first love. It was In coming back from Southampton that-Bhe-first knew Mr Langworthy wished to make her his wife. It was in the evening

of that first visit only _our years before that Mr- Laaigww'fchy had proposed. And now! Brooding? over the bitter memories of the past, MtSLangtforthy roused herself only once Oft the way down, When the train stopped at Winchester. Here was the' scene o_ $ie chambermaid's affidavit. She looked somewhat curiously at the old city, which she saw for the first time, and then, as the train swept on, she was once more immersed in the past The country between London and Southampton is rich with the loveliest associations of the storied past. There ie hardly a hamlet,. certainly not a city, which is not cele brated in song or enshrined in the chroni cles of " the borderland of old romance." Here King Arthur kept his Court. There i Lancelot rode forth, and all the hero brotherhood of the Table Round. But that was long ago. The age of steam nnd of democracy has succeeded the age of chivalry. When King Arthur established all his knights, he charged them " always to do ladies, damosels, and gentlewomen service, upon pain of death; also that no man take battle in a wrongful quarrel for no law or any world's goods. Under this were all the Knights sworn of the Table Round, both old and young, and at every year were they sworn at the high feast of Pentecost." That was the days of long ago. To-day the lady had to ride forth herself to right her wrongs, while her caitiff spouse found no difficulty in find ing any number of Q.C.s to do battle in his wrongful quarrel for the guerdon of his golden guineas. Mrs Langworthy, although in her girl hood idealistic and romantic, had not been buffeted about in the world so many years without acquiring practical wisdom suffi cient to prevent her mourning about the knights when she~reac\e^lSouthampton. Like a sensible woman of business, she took up her quarters ab the Railway Hotel and reconnoitred the ground. She bad heen advised to take an assumed name. She demurred. She would go as Mrs Langworthy, or not at all. She had already written to the captain of the La Plata, Captain Hart Dyke, a courteous and kindly gentleman, asking if he would help her to meet her husband. He promised to do what he could, and when she arrived he gave her every assistance in his power. She found that her husband had taken cabin No. * 82, in the name of Edward Martyn. The ship was to sail at two the next day. None of his goods had arrived. The time was Short. The design evidently was to rush them on board at the last moment. Before leaving London Mrs Langworthy had applied for and obtained leave to serve writs, and on arriving in Southampton she received every assistance from Messrs Stan ton, the solicitors. Next morning, April 9th, Mrs Lang worthy, accompanied by Mr Newman, from Messrs Stanton's office, and a posse of sheriff's officers, went down to the docks to await the arrival of Mr Langworthy and his property. Her heart beat violently, and her nervousness was so great that she was grateful for the offer of * dhsir. With a slouching hat drawn over her face, she sat down behind a pillar that commanded a full view of the platform and awaited the arrival of the train. After a painful period of suspense Mr Langworthy's luggage arrived at the dock. It was about eleven o'clock. The moment she saw it she directed the sheriff's officers to seize it. This they did with alacrity. It was a strange medley. There were not merely the ordinary portmanteaus, travel ling box, and trunks; but a miscellaneous assortment of live stock. The scene was lively and * jiting to a degree. AH the passengers a._eady on board crowded to the side of the to watch the sheriff's officers at work. It soon was noised abroad by whom the seizure was made, and that, of course, did not diminish the -excitement. The boxes, bags, etc., were addressed cither to Mr il. M. Langworthy 6r to Mr Stowe, his agent in South America. As soon as each package was identified, it ■was seized, carried off by the sheriffs offi cers, and the locks promptly broken off in proof of ownership. There were hampers of china, gun-cases, boxes of ammunition, boxes of boots and Bhoes and men's wearing apparel, and a great heap of other goods. The excitement grew as men came for ward trundling cases of duoks—intended no doubt to improve the breed in the Colonia Florencia; there were three cases, with ten ducks in all. Then came two loads of hay and a case of four swans. All these were properly impounded. Then three heifers and a bull arrived. " Whose are these ?" "Mr Langworthy's," •was the reply. The sheriff's officers turned their heads round and drove them off. 3__rs Langworthy's raid had been singu larly successful. She had captured every thing, with two exceptions. There were thirty pigs already on board, aud the ship's officers insisted on freight being paid before they were removed. They were allowed to remain. The other exception was Mr Lang worthy. He had -not arrived. But with the exception of the pigs and Mr Lang worthy, the writ of/, fa. had made a clean sweep of everything. It was not effected without some little friction. The moment the sheriff's officers made their first seizure, Mr Langworthy's servants, who were wait ing ior their master, telegraphed to his mother. She telegraphed back- Why do you seize the ? They are notmy-sonte; they are mine. On receipt of this telegram the sheriffs -men drew back. The ship's company in sisted they must go. Mrs Langworthy, however, was equal to the occasion. :SheW«rned*the sheriff's officers that fjhey -would be responsible, for the damages if they allowed the.goods to go on hoard, and ridiculed tho idea that the .goods could be hiß mothers. "Old Mrs Langworthy,' ehe said, "might not be remarkable for womanly feeling, but she had scarcely ar rived at the point Of shooting in the ranches in men'a wearing apparel." That seemed obvious enough, and the sheriffs men went on with .their task-until there was nothing more left to seize,

Mrs Langworthy then went on board, and waited the arrival of her husband in his own cabin; but the fellow did not come. Warned by telegraph that be would find his wife and the sheriff's officers wait ing him at the platform., he sent a telegram to the ship to say " Meet the ship at Lisbon.". The captain, with the telegram an his hand, came to tell her that her bird had flown. He was very kind and seemed Sincerely sorry for the poor lady. Touched by his sympathy and stunned by the escape of her husband at the last moment, Mrs Langworthy begged to be taken to Lisbon in the ship. This was impossible, and if possible would not have b-ewexpedii'iit,

She Stood on board till a quarter to two. The express from London had brought the passengerSj'but Langworthy was not among them. Mrs Langworthy waited till the steamer left; then she returned to London to be confronted with another series of difficulties in the courts of law.

CHAPTER XL.

" ABSOLUTELY denied "—but true,

Mr Langworthy left London for Lisbon, and there took another steamer for Buenos Ayres. His mother bought the impounded goods and live stock from the sheriff's officers and despatched them to her son by the next steamer. The money realised by the sale was paid into the Probate Registry of. the Court, and a suit was at once com menced by the mother for recovery of the money, she alleging that the goods had been wrongfully seized, since they were her property and not the property of her son. But before proceeding to describe the result of the new series of actions, it may be well to set forth what Mr Langworthy's counsel, Mr Yate Lee, and their representative, Mr To-the-best-of-my-belief Danby, actually denied in open court before Mr Registrar Hazlitt, on March 18, 1887, that Mr Lang worthy had ever been in England in April, 1886. _ As a matter of fact, readers of this narrative know that he was in England in -April, 1886, and the Court, after hearing the evidence on both sides, decided without hesitation that the fact was as we have stated it..

This is so important that it may be as well to quote from the shorthand note of the proceedings before Mr Registrar Hazlitt. Replying to Mr Woolf, who on •behalf of Mrs Langworthy had asked that her husband should be adjudicted a bank rupt, Mr Yate Lee, who appeared for Mr Langworthy, instructed by Messrs Birchain and Co., said : —

" The alleged act of bankruptcy was that Langworthy, wibh intent to defeat or delay his creditors, did on or about April 10, 1886, depart out of England. It was absolutely denied that he was ever in England in April, 1886. ... ' . They must ..how that he departed out of England in 1886. That was denied. "

Mr Yate Lee then read the affidavit of Thomas Wilson Dan by, in which thefollov. ing passage occurs:—" I was not aware and do not admit that Langworthy was in England in April, 1886, though I was in formed he was in England in March that year, nor, to the best of my belief, had his solicitors any knowledge of his visit." He was examined on this point by Mr Woolf: Do I understand you to say that during the whole course of these proceed ings your client, the debtor, was not in England ?—-No, As a fact he was in England during a portion of the time these proceedings were going on ? A very small portion indeed. What portion ?—I believe for two or three days in March of April, 1884.

Did you have any communication from him in 1886 while he Was in England ?— We did not know that he was in England. I did not ask you that. Answer the question. Did you have any communication from him in 1886 while he was in England ? —To the best of my belief not.

Don't you know ?—To the best of my belief not.

Mr Registrar Hazlitt: Had you any communication with him in April ?—To the best of my belief not.

Have you heard of any letters being received by Messrs Bircham and Co. from him in ISS6 ?—Certainly not, to the best of my belief.

To the best of your belief?— You aro asking me to speak of the date a year ago. I can only answer to the best of my belief. ******* Did you ask the mother whether Lang worthy was at her house in 1886 ?—Yes. What did she say ?—No. Thomas Pilcher, Mrs Langworthy's, sen., butler, having declared Mr Langworthy had not been at Geys House since 1883, was cross-examined by Mr Woolf as follows: —

When were you asked to come up here to give evidence ?—On Monday. Who asked you — this gentleman ? (Danby).—Yes. Did he suggest to you that Mr Lang worthy had not been there for three or four years ?—No. What did he ask you ?—He asked me when Mr Langworthy had been there, and I told him over a twelvemonth, and then on consideration I went further back.

After which it is not surprising to read in the Order of Bankruptcy issued at the close of this examination, and signed on March 23, 1887, by Mr Registrar Hazlitt, that it ap pears to the Court that "with intent to defeat or delay his creditors the said Edward Martin Langworthy on or about the 7th day of April departed out of England," notwith standing it was so " absolutely denied " by Mr Yate Lee and denied by Mr Thomas Wilson Danby, representative of Bircham and Co.

CHAPTER XLI.

THE PITIFUL PLIGHT OF MRS LANGWORTHY.

The seizure of the goods at Southhampton has brought rather abruptly upon the stage one who heretofore has been -an influence rather than a personality, in the shape of Mrs Elizabeth Hannah Langworthy of Geys House, Holyport, Maidenhead, mother of the offender. She was a Miss Martin once —a very long time ago. She is now a grey haired widow. She first intervened in the case in February, when she put in an ap pearance to correct what she declared was the mistaken estimate of her son's wealth, which he had communicated to his wife. Her affidavit, dated the 15th of February, 1886, is a reply to her daughter-in-law's affidavit of June 4th, 1884. The mother swore that her son had inherited from his uncle not LIOO,OOO but L 97.000, from his father L 21.000, instead of L 102.000, and this sum of Ll 18,000 constituted his whole fortune. By injudicious investments and expenditure she said in 1881 this sum had been reduced to the net sum of L 49,000, which she believed was at that time a correct estimate of the value of his fortune. Whether the mother or the wife be correct in her version of Edward Langworthy's worldly goods, there is no dispute that he has sufficient capital, and to spare, to pay the costs and alimony awarded by the Court, and to provide handsomely for the maintenance of his daughter. The writ which Mrs Langworthy had .failed to serve was served abroad, leave being given next day by the Court. The 'Writ was ftrst posted tothe British Consul at Lisbon, but he returned it undelivered. It was then sent out to Buenos Ayres and served upon him there. On April 21,1886, Mr Justice Hannen made the following order:—"l do order that Edward Martin Langworthy, the respondent, do, within seven days from the service ot this order, lodge in court the sumofL463, 4s 5d., being the amount of the petitioner's costs as taxed and certified by one Of the registrars of this division." Mr Lumley sent to Buenos Ayres and served Mr Langworthy with a copy of this order in the Argentine Republic. He treated it as he has treated every other ■order Of the-Court, with contempt.

On June 21 Mrs Langworthy swore, another affidavit. L 2,800 of her alimony was owing to her ; but the respondent had refused, and still refuses, to pay it. He had paid no money into Court to meet the taxed costs. Mr Langworthy had returned to England ; but as soon as he knew his wafe knew of his presence within the jurisdiction, he left the country. Mrs Langworthy then proceeded to set forth the following state ment of her pitiful condition by affidavit:—

I am quite destitute, and have no source of income at all, and I have no means what ever of raising any money. I have ex hausted my credit and am largely in debt, and 1 have no money wherewith even to pay for my board and lodging. I am already indebted to my solicitors, Messrs. Lumley and Lumley, in a large amount for the solicitor and client costs of the proceedings in this action up to the present time, and, as before mentioned, there is due to them under order of this Court the sum of L 463 4s 5d as taxed costs between party and party, of which the large amount of L 362 18s 5d is due for out of-pocket expenses which they have in curred in my behalf, and I am now unable to pay them anything, either on account of the costs which they have incurred, or as security for the costs which they will incur, if they proceed with the reference directed.

I have commenced proceedings on both my judgments abovo referred to in the South American courts, in which jurisdiction the said Edward Martin Langworthy has large estates and lands, and where he is now residing. I sent out certified and sealed copies of the said judgments on the 22nd day of April to Buenos Ayres. Owing to want of funds, as aforesaid, my solicitors are unable to prosecute my claims to main tenance for my child as ordered by this Honourable Court, and I am unable to em ploy counsel or to go to any expense in the matter.

She therefore prayed that tho reference to the registrar might stand over till she received sufficient funds on her alimony order to enable her to conduct her case. This was agreed to, and the reference remains in abeyance to his hour.

The litigation commenced in the Argen tine courts made no progress. In the new world as in the old it is money that makes the mare to go ; and as Mrs Langworthy has no money nothing could be done. (To be Continued on Monday).

WHEN the gout " hurts," the tooth smarts, and sore throats, neuralgia, and rheumatism set in, use St. Jacobs Oil, the pain conqueror. Do not continue to suffer - every store keeps it, and the man who endures pain rather than utilise a ready relief is his own worst enemy. Wintry winds are keen and piercing, and a house hold liniment an absolute necessity. Many preparations are offered at lower prices than St. Jacobs Oil, but none are so effectual or speedy in operation. Mr C. Wellington, of Townsville (Q.), used St. Jacobs Oil for sore throat and rheumatic pains with great success, and considers it one of the best remedies ever put before tho public. Mr Frank Stephens, boot and shoe im porter and manufacturer, Auckland, N.Z., suffered for months from a bad knee. He tried numerous remedies, but St. Jacobs Oil was the only one which removed every trace of pain and cured him. Maurice D, Benjamin, wholesale mer chant of Brisbane, had some doubts about the power of St. Jacobs Oil to eradicate rheumatism, but after testing its efficacy he honestly states that it has wonderful rheumatic healing qualities. Mr John Taylor, of the firm of Messrs M'Ewan and Co., of Melbourne, gratefully writes:—" You may make any use you like of these facts. I have found St. Jacobs Oil to be a cure for lumbago and for tooth ache." Mr G. Coleman, of Aucklend, N.Z., had this foot badly crushed. St Jacobs Oil re moved all the pain and soreness in a few, hours, and he now strongly recommends the use of the oil. Mr Scales, of the well-known firm of Wrigley and Scales, of Melbourne, used St. Jacobs Oil for a severe strain to his back, and was quite cured by a few appli cations.
