fair, aud they made their home with the
Wilkins family on Newport avenue.
Finally business duties began to occupy
the attention of Gray, and he would
leave his bride at home. She never
questioned him as to when they were
to depart for Philadelphia, for she felt
certain that as soon as his Chicago
transactions were through they would
take the train for their eastern home.
One day Gray came home apparently
disheartened.
his young bride. "Are you in trouble?"
Gray explained to her that he needed
a little more money to complete some
Of his transactions, and that he did not
have time to send to Philadelphia for it
She then volunteered to give him 500
which she had saved up and her sister
contributed S250more. Thanking them,

her husband. After several weeks mad
passed, and not the slightest trace OF
his whereabouts had been found, word
came that Grandville Gray was at home
in Philadelphia. 1t was also learned, it
is said, that he had a wife living in
that city, and that he was married

came the desire for revenge. The mat
