HOW SHE BEAT HER RIVAL.
Rapid Voyage Over tho Sea 81
gained Her Husband.

In New York they are talking over
the quick and successful g~cncralship
OF Mrs. Franz Molineaux, who beat
her rival Ove the sea by our hours
and Won back her husbands love. Tho
story Is quite interesting
M~olineauX had been wealthy in Ber-
lin. He had married the daughter Of
q rich grain merchant. When he
failed in business he quarreled with
his wife, for she made some remark
about his poverty which angered him.
He left her, saying that he would go
to America and begin life over again.
They we're both proud, and she per-
United him to go alone, although in
her heart she loved him. Women as
well as mon are stubborn sometimes.
The man came over here, and by
hard work established himself and was
in receipt OF a good salary. He
thought sometimes OF the IN over
in Berlin. She was living with her
wealthy father, who was very fond of
her. He brooded over what she had
said before their parting, and in the
months that he was here had steeled
his heart against her. He vowed that
he would never speak to her again,
and In a spirit of pique he sent across
the sea for another woman to share
the home he had made here at No.
1860 Lexington avenue
1T is q familiar saying, and possibly
not worthy Of all acceptation. that a
woman cares more for a man when she
sees her power over him on the wane.
Mrs. MOlineauX heard OF the other wo-
man and embarked in all haste on the
steamer Lain, bound for New York.
The other one, Bertha Niebling, was a
storage passenger on the Venetia
from Hamberg. The Venetia sailed
first, yet the fast steamer Lain beat her
into port by four hours, with Mrs. Moli-
eaux'i In the first cabin. She Is a tall,
handsome woman. She was dressed
In the most approved fashion, and her
manner were those of q we'll born
German woman.
She mad but little difficulty in inter-
esting the authorities in her case.
Detective Petor Groden found the hus.
band and informed him that q
was at Ellis island waiting to see him.
Molineaux was taken there yesterday,
and DR.. Senner, the commissioner Of
immigration, asked him some very
Searching questions. Then he dis
missed him to another room and talk
ed to Mrs. Molineaux. Neither hus-
band o wife knew OF the presence
OF the other on the island.
They were both brought into the
same room. The woman at the sight
OF her husband threw her arms about
his neck and then tainted. She re.
covered opportunity and told him how
cruelty she had misunderstood him and
that she would willingly share poverty
and a crust OF bread with him. No
man could resist talk like that. Moli-
neaux kissed her on the forehead and
vowed he would be true to her to the
end OF time. SO they went 10 No. 1860
lexington avenue together, where
they will dwell.
The other woman ? The story is
practically finished as far as she lie
concerned. The immigration authori-
ties came to the conclusion, that as
she had no friends here now, and was
likely to become o public charge, the
best thing they could do would be to
send her back to Germany. She will
go back In the steerage today.
