ter Bear was over near the pond Of
Paddy, the Beaver. Peter had left
him there only a little while before
and had come straight to this place
as fast as his legs could bring him, and
that is rather fast.
Truly there was something wrong
with that great windfall Buster Bear
wasn't under it, yet Bear growls and
WINES were coming from it. Do you
wonder that Peter and Jumper we're
sadly frightened and once more took
to their long heels? But they didn't
go far. They went only far enough to
feel safe. Then they sat up to stare at
that old windfall again. They were still
frightened, very much frightened. but
curiosity was greater than their fear
at that distance
For time all was still again. 1t was
still for so long that they began to
wonder if they could really have heard
those growls and whines. If either had
been alone he would have been sure
that imagination had PLAYED him q

sounds, or thought they had. So thew
stared and stared %nd waited.
Suddenly there was a sharp snort
followed by deep "Woof, woof," from
that great windfall. Peter and Jumner
took to their heels.

Tartoue Says
Wife Had Two
OtherHusbands
Artist, i'm Answer to Suit
for Separation, Charges
She Was Not Divorced
When He Married Her
He Alleges Intimidation
Asserts She Abused Him,
Causing Him Damage and
Impairing His Health

Pierre Tartoue, portrait painter, an
swered the separation suit Of Mrs.
Claudia Windsor Tartoue, formerly Of
California, in the Supreme Court yes
terday by denying her allegations of
cruelty and charging that Mrs. Tartoue
was already the wife Of two other men
when she married the defendant. and
that she had not been divorced from
either. Tho couple were married in
October, 1919, and the artist alleged
that his wife abandoned him on No
vember 10, 1920.
Mr.. Tartouc said that besides fraudu-
lently representing that she was never
married before the plaintiff also gave
false information about her age, for in
stead of being twenty-four years old,
as she is alleged to have stated in her
application for her marriage license,
she was thirty years old. Relying upon
these representations, Mr.. Tartoue said
he married the plaintiff.
Alleges Two Other Marriages
Since then, it is alleged by the de-
fendant, he has learned that his wife
married Louis Roth on January G. 1906,
at Pendleton, Ore, end that on June 26,
1912. she became the wife of George
jackson Busch at New Westminster,
b. c. The artist asked for an explana-
ton from his wife upon learning of
these alleged facts, but Mrs. Tartoue,
her husband said, refused to explain.
but she abused and attempted to
intimidate the defendant" Mr.. Iartoue
continued in his answer. "and told him
she would ruin his career as an artist
by creating a public scandal in action
for separation which she would insti-
tute. She said she would make scan
daious accusations against the defend
ant charging him with concocting and
participating in fraudulent schemes of
cXtortion, and further charging him
with inducing her to participate in
such schemes, and that upon the de-
PENDANTS refusal to accede TO the de-
mand of the plaintiff that he remain
quiet and continue to live with her the
plaintiff left the home Of the de-
fendant."
Denies Threat to Kill
Mr. Tartoue expressed the belief that
after his wife left him she caused the
publication of certain scandalous
statements about him, which have
caused him damage, and because Of
which his health has become impaired
and he has been unable to engage in
his profession as an artist
Mr.. Tartoue denied the charges of
his wife that he humiliated her, as
saulted her, threatened to dsfigure her
with vitriol, that he threatened to kill
her. or that he drove her from his
home, all Of which are alleged by Mrs.
Iartouc in her suit for separation.

three years and eight months old, issued
a statement last night denying that be

lie just went for a ride in tho subway.
His mother and the police and every
body who thought he was lost are mis-
taken, George says.
1t was Tuesday afternoon that the
notion struck George to go for sub
way ride. He had taken one last sum
mer, and it ended at Aunt Nellie's in
New Milford, N. j., which George found
to be most entertaining place.
His mother, who lives in Fifteenth
Street, between Seventh and Eighth
avenues. Brooklyn, had taken George
to the butchers Tuesday and some
thing about the butcher reminded
George of New Milford. He turned his
out of the shop.
Parks kiddie Car
As his mother had told him not to
cross the street alone George turned
aside resolutely first at one crossing
and then at the next, which brought
him face to face with an entrance to
the Fourth Avenue subway There
was s pleasant, expansive expression
to the subway entrance and George
went in. Juggling his kiddic car.
The man inside told him kiddie cars
weren't allowed, so George laboriously
toiled up the stairs with it and parked
it on the sidewalk. Then he went in
again.
