They were planning a mutiny. as
you may say, and / guess no sailors
on a pirate ship were more afraid of
the captains fist than they were OF
Mr.. Pierce's disapproval. He'd been
smart enough to see that most OF them,
having bullied other people all their
lives, liked the novelty of being bullied
themselves. And now they were get
ting a new thrill by having a revolt.
They were terribly worked up.

had gone, sitting in front of the empty
fireplace in the same chair Mr.. Pierce
usually took, and keeping her back to

Miss Purman, of Washington,
Defendant in $4,000 Ac-
ton of Brokers' Wife.

A miiliner's bill for a costly hat which
is said to have been delivered to Miss
May Purman, of this city, an actress
with a leading part in THE Lure now
playing in New York. has added to the
troubles of Derby Crandall. a New York
stock broker. and his wife. Mrs. Marie
Crandall, Of 80 Riverside drive.
Mrs. Crandall filed a suit against Miss
Purman, whose stage name is Lola
May. in the New York courts yesterday,
for S5c.Oc0 damages, alleging that the
actress alienated the affections of her
husband. Crandall was a member Of a
stock exchange firm that failed for
$500 coo in 1872 Mrs. Crandall had then
obtained a separation from her hus-
band.
Miss Purman Is living at 81 West
Thirty-ninth street, New York. The
bill for the hat for Miss Purman first
excited Mrs. Crandalls suspicious. she
said. and later she says she discovered
