they were we'll known members. Allis
had good law practice here, and was
considered an able and promising young
lawyer. His brother lawyers and
friends noticed, however, that Allis
was disposed TO be somewhat gay, if
not frivolous. Still his conduct was
not notoriously wild. and, therefore,
did not excite unusual comment. Allis
came of an excellent family. a fact
which gave him solid social standing,
and as his wife was not only attractive
but exhibited in her gracious manners
unmistakable evidences of refinement
aud good breeding,
The Young Couple
were naturally very popular and much
esteemed in their social set.
Five years after their marriage Allis
mysteriously disappeared. 1t was at
first believed that he had defaulted with
funds intrusted to his care, but subse-
Quently the awful truth was revealed.
He had clipped with girl named Sophie
Sanderson. This young woman had
been an intimate friend of Mrs. Allls
in Philadelphia before she married
Allis. Society held up its hands and
averted its gaze, but wh ispered about
the scandal for weeks, for it was most
fruitful topic.
In the meantime, Mrs. Allis did not
sit down and bemoan her misfortune.
Being a woman of spirit. she started
soon located him in Louisville, Ky.,
wLither he had fled with his infatuated
companion. There Allis deserted the
unfortunate girl. who made her way
alone TO her home in PHILADELPHIA.
Allis seemed repentant for his sin, and
asked his wife to forgive him. She did
so. and went to live with him again in
Boston.
But the Lothario spirit still possessed d
the young lawyer. Domestic life was
too hum-drum for him. so, after two
years of it. lie cast his amorous glances
upon another girl, whose first name
was Emma. For almost twelve months
lie visited her and
Pleaded His Case
He pleaded it so effectively that
Emma was only too glad to elope with
him in order to escape the disgrace
which would soon be revealed if she
remained at home much longer. So
they fed Westward, Emma supposing
that her love was single man and
would keep his promise to marry her.
Allis remained faithful until they
reached Indianapolis. There he ran
away from her TO escape the officers of
the law employed by her parents.
This time Allis did not ask his wife to
forgive him. but continued on his west
erly journey clear 10 San Francisco.
This happened in 1888. Since that time
Mrs. Ailis heard not word from her
husband until few months ago. 1t has
been ascertained, however, that he
sailed from San Francisco Aug. 25, 1883,
on the steamer Alameda to Australia as
a steerage passenger. Some time later
he quietly returned to California, and it
was soon after that he hit upon daring
had fallen in love again, but this time
with a woman who could not be fooled.
What does Mr.. Allis do but bring an
action in San Benito county for divorce
from his wife on the ground Of deser-
tion on her part. Knowing that he could
not prove the charge i'll the face of con-

complished by having the summons and
complaint served upon her by mail. but
the papers were sent to New London,

Allis had never been. The papers may
be there yet. In due time the divorce
was granted by default, and then Mr..
Ailis took the step which is likely to
cost him his freedom for while. He
married. His bride was young lady
