YOUNG PULLMAN'S ESCAPADEs.
Eastern Folk Quite Interested in His
Marital Affairs.

New York, May 1.-THE compli-
Pullman continue to furnish an in
teresting topic. If the picturesque
young Chicagoan would only tell
where and when and how he obtained
divorce from Mrs Pullman, No. l,
and if Mrs. Pullman, No. 2, would
only be so obliging as to inform the
curious how she secured a decree of
separation from Frederick V. Bowers,
without his knowledge or consent,
then would the subject be robbed of
its mystery and the gossips find in it
no further fascination.
Lawyer Abe Hummel has been re-
tanned by Pullman to defend the suits
brought against him by Bowers. Mr..
Hummel seemed to furnish a clew as
to how Mrs. Bowers secured a divorce
By the chance remark that the young
woman had married the song COM
poser while she was yet in her
teens" This remark suggested the
theory that when she welded Bowers
she was not of manageable age.
When this phase of the question
was put before Mr.. Bowers, he said:
My wife was not in her teens when
we were married in Milwaukee. She
was quite a long way out of them.
At the time of our wedding she was
over Fl. Today she is "a years old.
have the most positive proof of this,
and have given the proofs into the
hands of my lawyer
When aked if he intended, in addi-
ton to his civil suit for damages. to
enter criminal charge against Pull
man, the song writer replied:
You had 5e,,er see my lawyers as
to that"
Madoc Epstein one of the attorneys
for Bowers. said: 1--WE are suing
Pullman f3r 100000 damages. but
have never intimated that we intended
to have him arrested on a criminal
charge. II Mr.. Pullman's contemplate
ed trip to Europe is due to fear of ar
rest I guess he needn't be in any hur-
ry to sail.
Lawyer Hummel said: when |
have had time to look over Bowers
complaint-rather, when the court
grants me'the right to scrutinize it
there will be speedy enlightenment
as to Pullman's defense.
The woman is Mrs. George NJ.
Pullman. You may be certain of
that. She will continue to be Mrs.
George NJ. Pullman in spite of all the
suits that may be entered"
A reporter met George Pullman as
ne was leaving the Gerard for a
drive.
Il have nothing to say" he an
nounced; mot word. have never
uttered syllable to any reporter In
New York.
Then the young man and his bride
drove of toward the park.

CHAPTER XIV.
Sir Leonard's Good Fortune.

Sir Leonard and his wife enjoyed
the wedding-trip exceedingly. No
one knew whether Ethel enjoyed it or
not; she was quiet. listless, almost in
different. But her father. who knew
how dearly she loved all art, how
greatly she admired everything that
was rare and beautiful, thought she
must be pleased. He did not know of
the dark, terrible curtain that shaded
from her everything fair and bright.
They fingered through the winter
months in Italy, and then, when the
spring came round, they made prep
arations for returning to England.
Lady Gordon expressed a wish to
spend a few days in Paris. and Sir
Leonard engaged a suite of rooms at
the Hotel Bristol
They were at breakfast there one
morning when a large packet of letters
arrived from England. Lady Gordon
sat smiling at her husband, who was
making himself uncomfortable by
wondering why French cooks never
made good tea. Ethel was absently
looking over the columns of a daily
paper when the letters were brought
in. and Sir Leonard in haste took
them from the walters hand.
More compliments and congratula-
TONS" he said. why, Helen, we
have been married some mouths now,
nevertheless our friends are not tired
of wishing us JOY even yet"
AS he spoke he gave Lady Gordon
several letters addressed to herself.
You seem to have no correspond
ents, Ethel" he remarked; mo letters
ever come for you"
II never write any" she explained.
THAT seems strange. Have you no
! dy friend whom you care for?"
The only two friends whom love
are here" she replied.
Sir Leonard continued
You are 50 different from other
girls, Ethel; l should be better
pleased, my dear. to know that you
had girlish friends. and cared for
them, than 10 see you Indifferent to
everything and every one alike"
Then Sir Leonard opened his let

DICK YATES.
Interesting Facts About This Son OF

Dick Yates, in addressing delegates,
suddenly broke down. Seldom, il
ever, did he refer to his fathers great
career in any of his speeches, for he
never felt like asking support on &C
count of what his father had done.
But in this instance the audience was
typical of southern Illinois. and in
the front row sat a number of old
soldiers from the war of the rebel
lion. He made the usual speech OF

The friends and neighbors who had
known her when her life was all sun
shine looked wonderingly at her now.
but neither wonder, nor pity, nor COM
passion, nor sympathy, touched Ethel;
she was becoming Indifferent to all.
There were times, too, when she
felt terrible craving, desire that
she might wake and find it all a
Dream that she might wake and find
herself Ethel Gordon again--gay,
frank, proud, bewitching Ethel; that
she might emerge from this dark
cloud. and sun herself once more in
the brightness OF life. How she
longed for It. But the die was cast
and life was to be no bright dream foE
her.
She laughed sometimes-a bitter
reckless laugh when she remembered
her fathers words; how he had proph-
esied that II she did not rid herself
of her pride and willful humor. a
mightier hand would do IL for her.
Gradually everything fell into its OH
routine at Fountayne. Miss Digby
more than verified all Sir Leonard's
predictions. She had made an excel
lent mistress for the Hall. Her rule
was firm and gentle. She was liked
and respected, but there was no such
passionate attachment as had been eX-
pressed for Ethel Gordon.
Il am almost afraid to meet your
father, ETHEL" said Helen Digby, one
day. w hat will he say 20 me when
he looks at your"
Why should he say anything at
all?'s asked Ethel.
--Jh, my dear, my dear you are so
altered-you are so terribly changed!
Oh. Ethel, II could only make you
what you used to be; IL | could bring
back the brightness to your face, the
light to your eyes; II ] could give you
some of your old defiant frankness. my
darling, | would sacrifice all have in
the world"
Am | so terribly changed she in
qulred with a slow smile.
Helen Digby raised her hand and
pointed to a lilac tree. There Is just
as much difference" she said, be
tween you as knew you first and you
as you are now, as there is between
that tree when it is covered with fra
grant iowers and that tree as it stands
without bloom"
Ethel smiled again, the slow, sad
smile. which never frightened the
violet eyes. She knew the comparison
was correct.
