globe trotter, prince of Adventures,
hot on their trail, commissioned by
| Motifs family to return with him to
New York.
Mrs Bovine and Mott are living to-
gether in Hongkong Mrs. Bowne's
husband, a wealthy lawyer, has just
received a divorce from his wife. Mott
is still legally married, but it has
been reliably reported that his wife
will seek and will be granted a decree
of divorce. And because OF the con-
sistent and repeated expressions of
true love for each other, made by the
clippers, it is believed that they will
marry as soon as possible.
One year ago it all began, a series
of the most sensational incidents in
American social history. Walter
Bovine, the husband of Motifs inamo-
rata, was named by John P. Manning
as respondent in a divorce suit
against Mrs. Adele Taylor Manning.
This suit followed fist fight between
Bovine and Manning in a hotel cafe
Society attached much significance
to Manning's accusations at the time,
and consequently little sympathy was
| expressed when, a little later, Mrs.
| Bovine fled with Mott.
The Bovine Mott affair eclipsed the
Manning Bovine affair in popular IN
| terest Mrs. Bovine was beautiful. All
America paid tribute to her loneliness
when, as Frances Gibson, she sang
| herself to prominence as prima donna
| in THE Chocolate Soldier" Every
| where she was the subject Of ad-
miration. Her early exploits as an
athletic schoolgirl, as a cowpuncher in
| the West, as a brilliant, dashins
young woman, were published every
where. And when she married the
wealthy New York lawyer, Walter
| Bovine, her husband became the most
| envied man.
Something in her free spirit must
| have been akin to the temperament OF
| Jordan L. Mott. The two were i'm
mediately infatuated. They were seen
| together. Their names were linked
| together in casual, innocent gossip,
but no one dreamed of a liaison until
the startling tidings came that they
| had fled together
1t is generally believed that Mott
| considered the matter of his flight
| calmly and logically. 1t is even said
| that he had a long conference with
| his father, General Mott, before he
| fed, and refused to be sWerVed from
| his purpose by the pleading of the
| aristocratic proud old general
Then they disappeared. SO great Il
| surprise was this circumstance that
! when Bovine missed his wife he did
| not associate her disappearance with
| Motifs, nor did the rest Of the worl /,
until the message came that they
| had shipped on British tramp
steamer.
There was romance enough in this
| circumstance. They shipped as cabin
| boy and maid. and almost idyllic was
| their existence on board. The boat
was the Indradeo, and was bound for
| China.
The Motifs still We're eager for the

Fuller was romantic figure. true

General Mott called up Fuller. gave
