But Whom She Loved, Helped
Break Into Apartments.

were found ~lifeless from gas asphyxia-
ton in their pretty apartment at SO
West Twelfth street. There was no
possibility of accident. Their street
clothes had been laid carefully away,
every room had been put to rights:
They were not happy together. They
really did not love one another. The
young wife never loved any man except
Walter Lisponard Snydam. the million
aire husband, from whom she ran away
on September 6 last. Fred Noble, the
son of a Brooklyn pluber, knew this;
knew that she married him only to set
herself as right as might be before the
world. He married her only to give her
what standing a wedding ring might i'm

With the excitement of the elopement

came to an end, the final divorce papers
granted and the marriage-only three
wrecks ago-a settled thing, the life of
the runaways became a humdrum, mo,
notonous affair. There was no newness
for one to find in the other. There were
friends, save two or three, to give
them new interests. They had only each

had been nearly played out, when it
should have begun.

about a week ago to one of the few who
stood by them, "you and l and Fred,
