She Comes to Pittsburg in Search
of Her Heartless Husband.
A ROMANCE STARTED IN FRANCE.
The Son Of an Italian Wine Merchant
Elopes With Paris Belle.
DEsERTEDoNTHE STREETS OF NEW YORK

A French novel with all its intricacies of
plot and the coloring of an imaginative
writer could not convey sadder story OF
love and base desertion than that in real
life which has been told and proven to Dr.
Nardyz, the well-known italian physician,
in Pittsburg. A deserted bride, q member
of one of the best families of Paris, as beau
tiful almost as the most bewitching from the
seat of fashion, in PROSTATE grief has sought
the aid of the big-hearted Italio-American
in a search for her husband, whose love she
thought she had gained with favor from her
purse, and with whom she eloped but to be
deserted in New York's panorama of con-
fusing streets. The husband, Frank Lenzo,
a former Pittsburg representative of one
of Italy's largest wine houses, has
learned of his wife's constant search, and
writing to the Doctor with whom he is ac-
quainted, in heartless humor asks that my
sticking plaster be returned to her aristo-
cratic parents, for which I will pay the
freight"
Ienzo's life, like his marriage, has been
one of romance in its most intense concep-
| tion. He is a son of a wealthy wine mer-
chant in Italy, and for five years has been
an American agent. He speaks English
and French as fluently as his native tongue,
and is described as being handsome, dashing
and witty. A year ago he went to Europe.
He visited Paris, where he entered the
widest life of city where morality is
considered fanaticism. He had lots of
money and spent it as freely as the
ho
pensive, his wine bills as large in week
as most mems salaries are in year One
morning after a nights debauchery he
found himself without money. He could
have got more by sending home, but his
wine bills were collected daily. He e1-
planned the situation to the clerk, and the
latter said he would ask the proprietor.
Meantime young Lenzo continued the
routine of his life.
She Paid His Wine Bills,
In the evening he met the society people
that gather in Paris hotels and without a
thought of his debt entered into the enjoy
ment with his usual zeal. Among the
ladies he met was Miss LIE Moyne. Her
home was in Paris and she was the guest of
an American lady who was stopping at the
hotel and with whom Lenzo was acquainted.
Miss LIE Moyne was as vivacious as Lenzo,
was bright and witty and in an hours time
they were as we'll acquainted as friends of
life time. Lenzo very naturally forgot
his bill. The proprietor didn't. He had
found from experience that fast young men
were not reliable and angered by the size of
the debt he ungallantly sought Lenzo in the
company and emphatically stated that
prompt payment or expulsion from the
house were the only alternates Lenzo
plead for mercy. The proprietor ordered him
to get out The situation became alarming
as well as embarrassing to Lenzo and his
lady acquaintance of an evening, but the
latter came to the rescue and volunteered to
paw the bill The proprietor consented to
wait until the money was procured in that
way and the next day Lenzo's debt was
settled.
The friendship thus commenced ripened
into love. 1t took it Just two days to
ripen, and on the third, in the elopement
department of the Paris newspapers, it was
stated that popular Miss LIE Moyne and the
son of the italian wine merchant, Frank
Lenzo, had set sail on an American steam
ship. 1t was supposed that they had gone
away to get married. A note was left for
found to indicate their destiny.
The young couple reached New York
the latter part of September. They were
married and stayed for a week in the
metropolis. Lenzo was able to get money
from men acquainted with his fathers bust
ness house. He renewed his Bohemian
ways after tiring of his wife, and one day
when they were out walking together, he
suddenly turned a corner and left her. She
followed, but could not find him.
Left Her With Only Two Hundred Dollars.
Her husband had given her 5000 and with
that she has kept up the search ever since.
Last Monday she came to Pittsburg. She
had heard her husband speak of DR.. Nardyz,
and went to consult him. A few days
before, Lenzo had called on his old friend,
told him about his European trip with
the exception of the love experience and
then started farther West. Dr. Nardyz
thought Lenzo had acted strangely, and the
visit from the young bride revealed the
cause. She was almost heart broken, for
she thought her husband had met with some
accident. When told the truth grief turned
to the deepest anger, love broke into wild
fury, and the .wronged woman vowed ven-
geance with the most bitter hatred. She has
some money yet, and will stay in Pittsburg
for few DAYS believing that her husband

will sell her diamonds and return to her
Paris home.
The letter from Lenzo was received by
DR.. Nardyz yesterday. 1t is dated St.
Louis, and from its wording Lenzo must
have heard that his wife is in Pittsburg.
He wants hes sent home, and saws if Dr.
Nardyz will pay the transportation the
money will be refunded to him
Mrs. Lenzo, when seen yesterday, con-
firmed the story as told by Dr. Nardyz
She can speak English fairly well when
not excited, but every mention
of her marriage stirred up her
fury to such pitch that only
exclamations in French could be COM
manded. Her black eyes flashed as bright
ly as crystals in midday sunlight, and when
she told of the first meeting in the Paris
hotel, like Gagged leopard she crossed the
room with nervous step and angrily ex-
claimed i'm French q sentence which was
translated by DR.. Mardyz as 81 only want
to find him that may shoot him.
''She has got the weapon in her pocket to
do it with" added the doctor, with smile,
which brought only another flood of angry
exclamations from the little lady's we'll
stocked vocabulary. Dr. Mardyz is anx-
ious for her to return to Paris. He thinks
her husband has friends watching her and
that he will not come to Pittsburg until she
