AFTER TEN YEARS.
Romantic Meeting of a Husband and Fife
Sn Salt Lalss.
[Salt Lake Tribune.]
The old story that romances in real life
are oftentimes stranger than the fictions
which writer's weave for books, was re-
Gently exemplified in this city. 1t wasno
less than the meeting of husband and
wife after ten years of separation. The
circumstances of the case, as learned by
Tribune reporter from the husband, are
as follows: Twelve years ago Henry L.
Wallace was married IN New York city,
and being a man of liberal means, took
his wife to Europe. They made two
years tour on the continent, and then
returned to Liverpool, from whence they
expected to sail for America. Wallace
and his wife took state rooms in the
steamer, and after going on board Wal
lace recalled the fact that the servant girl
at the hotel who had acted as nurse girl
for his child had net, in the hurry of
leaving, been paid. AS there were still
two hours before the steamer sailed, he
concluded to go back and pay the nurse,
lest she might;mention the matter to other
guests and a bad impression of his finan-
cial integrity be created. He started
for the hotel, and on his way
was roughly jostled by stranger,
turning upon him he. demanded to
know why he was insulted, when some
hot words passed, and he knocked the
man down. The police rushed in and ar
rested both men. At the station house
the man whom he had knocked down
charged him with attempting to pick his
pocket. He tried to explain that his wife
and child were On the steamer, and final
ly offered thousand dollars to let him
90, but it was of no avail, and the story
of the steamer was only looked upon as a
fabrication to deceive the police. When
he was searched no money was found on
his person except few shillings in sill
yer, having left it with his wife. This
fact, taken into connection with his offer
of $1,000 for his release, make it
all the more suspicious. While
he was being examined in
the Office of the chief of police dispatch
came from London directing the detec-
lives W dI1CSt d COuutCllClJCI, WIN w NdS
about to sail on the steamer. The de-
scription answered almost exactly for
Wallace, and he was locked up. He sent
word to the hotel, and the keeper Of the
house called upon him. Wallace begged
the man to identify him, but the reply
was: II only know that you stopped a
few days at my house, and when you left
you didn't pay nurse girl whom you
hired. What do know of your ante
cedents?'
That the bill due the nurse girl, which
was the cause of the trouble, should be
used against him was a crushing blow,
and when his trial came off the London
detectives swore that they believed he
was the countefeiter wanted, but there
was not sufficient proof to convict. The
man whom he knocked down swore
stoutly that he attempted to pick his
pocket, and he was sentenced for two
years. In the meantime the steamer
sailed bearing his wife and child. Mis-.
Wallace, remembering the excuse he
had made to leave the steamer,
presently began to imagine, as many
women might do under similar
circumstances, that he took this method
of deserting her, and after reaching New
York gave up all hopes of ever seeing
him again. She had considerable money,
however, and finally came west. She
lived in San Francisco for several years,
and lost nearly all she had in stocks. She
then came to Salt Lake with her child,
and took IN sewing and fancy needle
work, barely making living. After Wal
lace served his term in Liverpool he spent
two years in trying to get something to
do, and finally had to work in rope
makers establishment to earn enough
money to reach America, coming in an
emigrant ship. After reaching New
York he met some of his old friends. Ex-
planning his misfortunes, he got start in
the world again, making a good deal of
money; he tried to find his wife, but was
unable to do so. He went to Colorado
two years ago, invested luckily in mines,
and made considerable money. Last week
he came to Salt Lake, and while at the
Walker house with friend the CONVEX
sation turned upon the prosy subject of
good fitting shirts Said the friend" :"There
| is widow woman up street
who makes my shirts l give her
my measure and they fit to charm and
| last longer than any store shirt l ever
| with me-"
Wallace agreed and the two went to
| the widow woman's.
."Same name as you, by the way" said
the man as he approached the house.
He introduced Wallace as a friend
who wanted some shirts made The
two looked at each other. The woman
gave a big long scream and /. there
was the usual tableau, which would re-
quire considerable work to properly de-
scribe. Wallace found his wife, and also
his little baby, the latter grown to girl
hood. These are simple facts of re-
markable case, but the full history of the
wanderings of the separated couple
would make book. The two left for
| New York last Tuesday.
