coachman she never gave a thought to
the future. After the reporters found
her and her husband in West Twelfth
etreet it was impossible for them to 60
into the street without q crowd st thc!f
heels.
The most trying experience o. this
kind happened when the excitc m4nt
over the clopcment began to die OUT
The young 1unaways had been in the
house Nil day. Their room was on the
first floor, with tie windows only a
short distance above the sidewalk. To
prevent passers by from peering into
the room the curtains were kept tightly
drawn. 1t was very warm 4 evening,
and when darkness began to gather the
curtains and windows were raised. Mrs.
Schclling was seated near one Of the
windows, when she felt a tug at her
skirts. She screamed and sprang back
into the room. Her, husband looked
out and saw a tail fellow make desperate
efforts to climb into the room. When
he saw Schelling he dropped to the side
walk and disappeared.
Shortly afterward the young couple
started out for a walk. They hal not
gone far when they discovered that the
same fellow was following them. A few
minutes later they noticed a crowd
gathering, and saw that the big man
was pointing them out to every body he
met. Gradually the crowd grew until
Schelling became alarmed. He then
hurried his wife into q cab and escaped.
The most persistent Of their tor
mentors were alleged theatrical agents.
They kept calling at the house until
their rings at the bell were not an
swered. Then they wrote offensive
notes, making all kinds OF absurd offers.
To escape this, Mr.. Schelling moved TO
West Twenty-second street.
A Sun reporter called on Mr.. and
Mrs. Schelling. He found them in
their pretty little room. Brussels carpet
was upon the floor. A piano, Uttered
with music, stood facing a handsome
dressing case. The papered walls were
adorned with Scriptural notices and
portraits in neat frames.
Mrs. Schelling had on the brown dress
she had on when she climbed the hid
to the Mount ST. Vincent Seminary and
met her brothers III friendly converse.
She has grown stouter and looks happier
than when the reporters were chasing
her about the city. She wore a pair of
dragon shaped earrings, thickly studded
with diamonds. Diamond rings were
upon her fingers. She was asked about
her engagement with Manager Anbcrs
of the Thalia Theatre.

full though, and would listen to terms
from no one unless he assured himself
first that they were gcntIcmen and
capable of keeping their share Ci the
contract. AS most of these men were any
thing but gentlemen, their visits had ONLY
Il result, and that was to worry me
to death.
