City Chat
WHEN SHE SPOKE

saw the girl upon the street
And my surrender was complete.
Her eyes were limpid, filled with
light,
A beautiful, alluring sight.
Her face was sweet beyond compare;
An aureole her cleaning hair,
To look at her was ectasy;
She filed the day with joy for me.
1 gazed at her with lips apart
And felt p glow about my heart.
1 longed to know the vision sweet,
To lay my heart before her feet.
l yearned to hear her golden voice;
Its tones must make my soul rejoice,
Such dainty grace, a face so fair,
l knew were joined with culture rare.
And so / listened for a word
From her: while all my pulses stirred.
It came. The girl beside her said
'Umphumph,' and bent her pretty
head.
Then spoke my dream: I'm sore on

As he spoke he drew the doll to-
ward him and something in the gest-
ure with which he stroked the fuzzy
head recalled TO Ruth the time when
they two were in their counting days.
With a woman's quick perception
she read the story of the struggle in
the worried face. and her hand went
out to be caught in his eager grasp.

BECOMES EXILE TO
WE'D SHAM OFFICER
Hartford Girl Marries on Condition
That She and Her Husband
Leave City Forever.

HARTFORD, June 1..--Nevermore
may Miss Annie Louise Behner enter
the city of Hartford. where she was
born and grew to young womanhood'
She became an exile for love. and for
ever shut herself out OF the place as
ISOLATED with the happiest memories
OF her life. when she was married
today to John NJ. Shew. alias Lieu
tenant Coke" u. S. n.
Only on the grim condition that she
and her husband should depart from
Hartford Immediately and never re-
turn again would her foster-father,
Louis Behner. a prominent insurance
man, consent to their marriage. AS
she Is q minor. the consent or Mn
Behner was required before the cere-
mony could be performed.
With the prospect OF criminal
prosecution for the alleged abduction
OF Miss, Behner three years ago, Shew
consented TO the proposal OF Danish
ment from Hartford. Miss Behner also
accepted the agreement.
The marriage was the conclusion OF
an elopement In 1907. No sooner had
the couple disappeared than Mr.. Beh-
ner began q search for them, which
covered the nation.
Elude Police Of so Cities.
He declared that Shew would In all
probability abandon the girl, and that
he was determined that he should SUI
fer for his acts. Fleeing from place to
place, the young pair outwitted the
police OF fifty cities and towns, and
remained at liberty until about three
months ago. when Shew was arrested
Miss Behner was taken back home.
and despite the attitude of her step
father still continued loyal to Shew
Mr.. Behner was determined that they
should never marry, and continued In
that frame of mind until today, when
he decided to cast the girl out OF his
life IL she still insisted on a marriage.
The story of Shew and Miss Behner
Is as strange as fiction. About four
years ago Shew, who has been a
soldier OF fortune. arrived in Hart
ford. He was rather a dashing sort
OF man, and readily made friends. He
did not appear to work hard. but al
ways had sufficient money for his
needs, and attended many receptions
and balls.
At one of the affairs he met Miss
Rehner Her family was Of some social
prestige, and the attentions OF the
young man to Miss Behner were OPP
posed by her father, who said that
he was not equal to her In social
station and that she should not en-
courage his attentions.

To help his suit. Shew had posed
as a former lieutenant in the United
States Navy and went under the
name of Coke. He said he had partici-
pated in revolutions In Hayti. had
been a spy In Spain. and his life had
been filed with as many adventures
as that OF Othello. His tales of war

McGasgill operated a soft drink es-

idea of mixing wood alcohol with
sugar water and red pop to complete
the nights carousal. Fifteen men and
boys drank the stuff McGasgill died
during the night, followed at four
hours intermission each by Martin
and Teachout.
Sheriff Evans SCOTS at the story
that Teachout may have had designs

that he has fled Italy. The other half
believe Charlton met the same fate as
his wife and that Constantine Ispola-
ton. the Russian suspect, alone holds
the key to the murder.
The Como chief OF policesand United
States Consul Caughey, at Milan, are
firm In the belief that Charlton was

that all stories OF Charlton having
