Destiny That Separated Young

MODERN ENOCH ARDEN
Young Russian In United States
Army Meets wife, Who, Believing
Him Executed In Russia,
Had Wed Again.

San Francisco.-The same destiny
that tore William Shavchenko from
his seventeen-year-old bride, Dora, in
Russia six years ago and led her to
believe that he had been executed for
a political crime against the car, has
restored him to her in free America.
But now she is the wife of Michael
Bakanoff and the mother Of his three
year-old son.
ShavchenkO is In the United States
army, a private at Camp Fremont,
near here. And Dora Bakanof loves
this modern Enoch Arden just as she
loved him when they were married In
Rostov-on-Don.
Wants Her Child.
Mrs. Bakanoff has left her present
husband and sued for the possession
Of her child. She says she win ask
an annulment Of her marriage to him
in 1914.
After Shavehenko had been carried
away by the cars troops and presum-
ably executed his young wife came to
the United States, where she married
Bakanoff. Shortly after the birth Of
their son they quarreled and the wife
left her husband.
She obtained work In a home near
where Camp Fremont now is, and a
few weeks ago an officer from the
camp, accompanied by a private, came
to visit at the home. The private was
Shavchenko.
"Our maid Is a Russian" said the
hostess when she learned of Shaw
chenko's nationality. Suppose you
talk together"
Truth Dawns Upon Them.
AS they were about to be intro
duced the eyes of the Russian couple
met and when the truth dawned upon
them they rushed into each others
arms, much to the alarm Of the army
officer and his hostess.
Then Shavchenko told his story. He
had escaped from the Russian guard.
