Journals throughout the world have told the extraordinary story' of Diana's initiation into a diabolical society and of her subsequent conversion to the Roman Catholic Church. Many sensitive souls shuddered as they read her horrible tale, and general wonder was expressed that in these enlightened days any persons could be found willing to join such a mon strous and sacrilegious organization as she described. So the weird tales of devil worship and of uncanny nocturnal ceremonies went the round of the press, and the excitement gradually increased until a few days ago, when it was buzzed abroad that the mar velons Diana would hold a meeting in Paris, and would there and then reveal all the secrets of diabolism and the causes of her conversion. An invitation to attend the meeting was sent to several journalists, as well as to several well-known Catholic clergymen and free thinkers. There was nothing unusual about the wording of this invitation except the rath er singular fact that the generous Diana announced her intention of offering a prize, for which the journalists were to draw lots. Somehow this introduction of a lottery feature seemed rather suspicious to a few who had followed with interest Diana's meteoric career. It looked to them too much like an attempt to curry favor or to rake in shekels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
