New Admirer

According to May Yohe her newly

Jewels while she was in San Fran
cisco, and through the medium of
his wealth, gave her a touch Of her
ed life, is none other than near
relative of Lord Revelstoke, second
baron Of Revelstoke and director
in the Bank of England.
When May Yohe came to San
Francisco to take her place on a
vaudeville stage she was accompanied
by a man giving the name of James
Fell and the two were in one an
others company daily. lanes Fell,
she said, was the scion of one of the
best known families in England, and
an old tine lover of hers, who had
offered to marry her and lift her once
more to the heights from which she
had fallen when she made her wild
fight with Captain Putnam Bradlee
Strong.
The story which she told had in it
the same elements OF remarkable ro-
nance and intense fascination which
characterized her marriage TO Lord
Francis Hope and her elopement with
Captain Strong. Years ago. when she
was only May Yohe, singer in the Cam
bridge music hall IN Commercial street,
London, she met the man who now
gives the name of Fell. The latter,
though younger than herself. was the
first Of her aristocratic victims. he
worshiped before Hope arrived on the
scene; before her beauty and voice
made her the darling OF the AIRY and
'Arriet audiences.

youthful ardor with offerings Of ex-
pensive flowers and Invitations to
dine-which were refused.

her fall. and when she had dropped

according TO Mays account he fol-
lowed her from his home in Victoria,
b C., and renewed his suit in San
Francisco. Nay Yohe, 40 and frayed
with no prospect but the cheapest end

him with fiuttering hands.
He met her first after the lapse OF
years in Victoria After her elopement

Feu left England TO bury himself in
Victoria. and there after years of ST
lence ne was startled TO see his old love
advertised as the headliner in a cheap
vaudeville house.
The sight of May Yohe brought back
the old love, and when she came to
the United States he followed her In
san Francisco the aristocratic purse
strings were opened for jewels and
1uncheons and dinners. He purchased
$4,000 worth Of diamonds and gems al
shreve's for her, and IN return she gave
him a locket on which was inscribed
The monogram and crest of the house
OF Revelstoke-
While she was here she was his
guest at luncheon in the St Francis
hotel. and when she left this city he
went with her to Los Angeles.
The only cloud on Mays happiness
is that she has not obtained divorce
from strong and cannot take advantage
Of Fels offer Of marriage.
