during these first years that the love be-
tween the two, or perhaps, better, the love
of the woman who had given up name and
fame and reputation for him, was put to
the acid test. Many a night when Mott
had fallen into the stupor of drunkenness
she held him in her arms, and with lips
to his prayed passionately in her heart
for his redemption from the curse that
fettered him.

and outcast in book and play, did this re-
demption occur"

"He had lost fully twenty pounds. The

After that the pair, upon money earned
by Mrs. Bovine by singing in Hong Kong.

of the Orient in suppressing German prop

and Allied relief. He was the esteemed

retribution only postponed, the sword still
remain unwed! That 1t is not their fault
is true. Bovine has married again, but
Mrs. Mott secured only a separation and
has refused to free the father of her boy.
1t was in 1907 that Mott, spendthrift.
one of the types of rich mems sons that
gave New York's Broadway its hectic rep
utation before the influence of prohibition
was felt and at least once confined in a
sanitarium by his father, eloped with
Frances Hewitt Bovine, a young prima
donna who had won a real success both in
America and abroad. His wife was the
daughter of Professor Pitkin, his tutor for
Harvard. Bovine was a wealthy New Jer-
seyman of excellent family.
Like "the man who came back" the pair
fled to the Far East. How the elder Mott
sent an emissary after his son to head
him off and get him back home, how that
messenger failed, and the means by which
the elopers finally arrived safely at Hong
Kong, China, are things that have been
told before and are not necessary now to
repeat.
From time to time echoes Of their life
came back to friends-and always these
echoes bore a burden of trouble and mis-
cry. Four years ago, they ceased. II was
supposed that the two had been submerged
in the maelstrom, dragged down by that
retribution which, like Nemesis. follows
those who defy the moral law. None knew
where Mott was-whether drifting a wreck
through the slums of the Orient or dead.
And none knew whether the girl who ran
away with him had, perhaps, met worse
fate.
But during those four years. just as In
"The Man Who Came Back" the astonish-
ing redemption of Mott was accomplished.
Mrs. Bovine, who now calls herself Miss
Hewitt, told the story thus while sitting
on the veranda where she lives with Mott
and her mother in Avalon. She is no
longer the girl whose voice and charm de-
lighted thousands when she was upon the
stage. The marks Of her struggle are
carved deep in her face. Nor Is Mott at
all the reckless, wild, careless youth who

AS a child Mott had> been taught by
French and German governesses, so
that when he was fourteen years old
he spoke French, German, Spanish
and Italian as fluently as his own
tongue. Not only was he prepared
for linguistic cosmopolitanism, but
aside from the literary and other
studies ordinary to our schools, he
was fully prepared in music.
With this cultural background he
entered Harvard. And there, be-
tween "sprees" and motor cars and
trips abroad, where, through his
father, he met many of the princes
and potentates Of Europe-many OF
whom are still warm personal friends

. the Great Heart" He was hardly
out of college when the book was
published.
Then came a series of bright and
dark years. He fished and hunted,
travelling in his own yacht, in north
ern Labrador, and he continued to
write.
Meanwhile Frances Hewitt had
been having her hard times"
Born on the Pacific coast, she early
discovered that she had two things

and a passion for the stage.

She wanted to sing.
So she went, against her mothers
