After the marriage Of Edna May.
the beautiful American actress, to Os-
car Lewiston, son of the New York
millionaire, at the registers Office at
Windsor England, the couple went to
a beautiful vineclad villa which the
groom had prepared for his bride.
There, shortly after their arrival, they
were photographed standing together
on the porch. a handsome pair In
framework of ivy leaves and flowers.
In 1896 little girl with parted hair
and wise, demure eyes went from SYRIA
cuse, where her father was, and Is to-
day, a letter-man, to New York, where
she asked for a position in chorus.
She was made understudy to Lucille
Saunders in Santa Maria. She was
recognized as a type Of girl which Is as
rare on the stage as rose in field Of
Haunting poppies. That winter was
uneventful and Miss May did no more
than get nice little start. After a
brief American tour she went to Lon
don, where for several years she was
in mediocre plays which caused little
or no comment. In 1904 she was at
Days in New York In The Schoolgirl,
and the next year she appeared in The

CHAPTER VIII.
The driver, bearing in mind O'Rourke's
promise of five francs in case the station
were reached in time for the mail train,
put his fat-rbbed, heavy footed horse to
the road at such pace that O'Rourke
had five minutes to wait for the train. He
secured a ticket for the first stage Of his
journey, and walked on tol the platform
carrying his portmanteau. He had been
thinking of Angela and Maskelyne and
his own chances all the way; but now
he suddenly recalled Dobroski to mind
That venerable conspirator and he would
travel to England together, for Dobroski
was on the train.
Nothing occurred to make the journey
particularly remarkable, and the two
companions were silent for the most part
A brace of early tourists recognized Dob
roski and O'Rourke at Brussels, and
pointed them out one to another; and at
Dover they were known again, and Gre
ated a little stir as they walked up and
down the platform, side by side, waiting
for the train.
They arranged where to meet again,
and Dobroski betook himself to the
streets, whilst O'Rourke went upstairs to
sleep, giving injunctions to his servant
to call him in four hours precisely. But
after entering the bed chamber and lock-
ing the door he stood awhile in thought,
and then suddenly reopening the door, de-
scended to his private working room, and
there wrote a telegram. The telegram
was addressed to George Frost, Esquire,
at house in Pimlico, and ran thus Call
at once. Special" 1t did no tpurport
to come from Hector O'Rourke. but from
one o. johnson of Acre Buildings. Any
way, at ! o'clock precisely a gentleman
with a peaked beard, furtive eye, soft
hat and an accent blended of the accents
of Erin and Columbia, presented himself
at the door of the house in which
O'Rourke had chambers, and sent in a
card which bore the name of Mr.. George
Frost in fourishing copperplate He
was shown up, and when the door was
closed behind him, the occupant of the
room rose with smile Of welcome and
gripped him heartily by the hand.
