"My daughter" continued Mr. Richards, "ordered this telegram to be dispatched a son as the post office was open in the morning, it being closed that night and this was accord- ingly done.

HER LAST LITERARY WORK. "She did not take drugs nor anything of that sort, for she said while she was in the Isle of Wight that she slept remarkably well."
Mr. Richards stated in conclusion that at the time of death Mrs. Craigie was adapting her play "A Time to Love" for publication as a novel. Her last novel, The Dream and the Business, was already bound and ready for issue by the publishers, who, were awaiting a cable from America to say that the copyright there had been secured.

AMERICAN BY DIRTH. Pearl Mary Teresa Craigie was born in Bos- ton, and was the daughter of Mr. John Morgan Richards, a wealthy American merchant and one of Dr. Parker's deacons at the City Tem; ple. Her first forename, she used to think, was suggested by that of the heroise of. Nathaniel Hawiborne's Scarlet Letter."
On her father's side she came of a stock as- sociated with the Law, the Church, and bank. ing; and David Dudley and Judge Field, of the Supreme Court at Washington, were her near relatives.
On her mother's side she was a great-grand- daughter of the Hon. Peter Spearwater who fought under Napoleon and represented Sel- borne in the Colonial Parliament at Halifax
for 25 years.
Her education was cosmopolitan, and before she was sixteen she had a wide knowledge of Europe Could educational forces conquer the soul Mrs. Craigie would probably have been a pianist. Her education was begun with that end in view; but the red tape of the Con- servatoire in Paris, which insists that no pupil shall enter its doors without signing for a three- years' course, stopped that project.
Literature, however, had set her seal upon Mr. Craigie when she was still in the nursery. Before she was able to write, she used ta dictate stories to her nurse,
"Same Emotions and a Moral "No. 8 of T, Fisher Unwin's" Pauedonym Series " was Mrs. Craigie's first novel. It was begun when she was 21, and finished a year later; but during the twelve months the work was in- terrupted by illness.
"As soon as I had written my first chapter, said Mrs. Craigie, in speaking of it once, "1 decided that I had something to learn before 1 could write in the terse manner which I con. sider so much more attractive and dramatic than the verboin. It was irritating to me to use six.works when I was certain that three would be enough,"
Mr. Craigin set about the solution by pat fing aside the "work altogether, and plunging. into classical and metaphysical stadies under the late Prof. Goodwin. After a while, Mrs. Craigie showed the professor her first chapter, and his advice was, Gopo; and finish the book.”
OBJECTIONS TO THE FIRST BOOK, When the book was finished the MS. wat submitted to one of the leading publishing. firms, and accepted by them on condition that
