Appeal. Made in Vain.
Young Suydam returned to his home
at Blue Point to-day after having made
an almost fearful prayer to the woman
OF the cold blue eyes. white face, aureoie
OF light hair. and red lips. whom he had
called wife for eight years.
She calmly told him that he could
never understand and bade him good-by.
She almost convinced him she was
right and he was wrong, and practi-
cally at her suggestion, he put his AFFAIRS
In the hands of the family lawyer.
Unless young Suydam weakens from
his determination. papers in a suit
against his wife probably will be filed
al Riverhead on Monday morning.
Yes; 1 paid visit to my wife in New
York. said Walter Suydam. at his home
tonight. II am not sure that I should
have made the trip, because there
had been an understanding between
Louise and myself that I should not
seek to learn her whereabouts.
Admitted Her Love.
We employed detectives to locate her.
but only because I wished to know that
she was safe. Then I went to New
York to see her. although at the family
conference here, when her father and
mother and mine were persent. she had
told me that she loved Fred Noble very
much.
Louise told me that l had been more
than kind and considerate but that Fred
Noble had come into her life, and that
she did not care TO live with me any
longer. I promised that l would take
4E
worry. but that was foolish. for I did
worry.
Il found Louise alone and pleaded
with her to return home. l put the
matter before her plainly, and we went
over the matter carefully. She greeted
me as though l was returning home
from a days fishing, but at the same
time ! knew l must hold my place. l
am afraid l was a little nervous, but
she must have understood.
Il told her 1t was time to end the
farce: that she might as well return TO
me a. once and allow me TO protect her
and shield her as a husband should.
All Would BE Forgiven.
Il assured her my father and mother
would forgive and forget. as we'll as
myself: that she would be doubly well
coined because she had gone away and
| come back again. But she never yield
ed and finally, and after I had made
my prayer. she said good-by, and told
her good-by
AS II seemed to be her desire, con-
! suited our lawyer. Joseph T. Loosee. OF
Patchoteague, and the legal end of the
case is in his hands.
| Il don't know whether she is coming

and a sob choked his voice. He turned
| away and would talk no more.
| Mrs. Suydam was found to-day by a
| Washington Herald representative in her
| little apartment.
When the reporter entered the narrow
| hallway Of the little fiat. he came face
to face with young Noble, who was en-
gaging in n spirited telephone conver-
alton. He greeted the reporter pleas
antly.
My people knew exactly what l was
| going to do, and they know exactly what
have done" said Mrs. Suydam. When
! I say my people l mean my husband,
his father. and my father and mother.

told them all that l loved Fred and that
l wanted to live with him.
! My people - everybody knows that
| when l say a thing l mean it-that
when make up my mind there isn't any
use trying to persuade me not to go as
my own judgment dictates"
| Mrs. Suydam laughed-the first and last
time during the interview-and continued
1T was not in this case. They decided
to let me do as | pleased. and 1 have
done it. And I haven't regretted my ac'

"Of course you know you were dis

Mrs. Suydam. Il don't care for con
ventions. Neither does Fred. We ar'
willing TO brave convention"
Reconciliation Possible.
How about reconciliation" wal
asked.
Mrs. Suydam-s hands went nervously
to her brow and hair.
That is entirely up to Mr.. Suydam,
she replied.

to him."
