yon, Orange county.
The great actress shows plainly the 'ef-
fects of her recent illness, from which she
has not fully recovered, although she is
gradually growing stronger. Her left arm
is paralzysd and hangs limp and helpless:
at her side. It was on orders of her physi
clans, who recommended outdoor air ant.
absolute rest mentally and physically, that
she decided to go to her ranch.
“Yes, I expect to be able to return tn
the stage,” she said in answer to a ques~
tion. “I am sure that this genial climate
will soon restore me to perfect health. ”
Although Modjeska left the home of her
son in Chicago but five days ago, she knew
nothing of the attempt to kidnap her
grandchild, information about the affair
having been kept from her so as not to on
duly excite her. Count Bozenta said it
Was evidently the act of some crank, who
was not moved by malice toward Mme.
Modjeska. but was making trouble for
her son and fa“ .y out of motives of pure
mischief or some insane freak.
