 No Home for Her

Monticello, N. Y, July 22.-"Mine Is the perfect love, but I have nothing to offer you
 Mrs. Emily Duryea, runaway wife. heard the final words of her husband the Rev Clark Duryea, leader of ''The Holiness Rand,'' and she returned to the path she set foot on a week ago when she fled her home with Earl Van Nooy, .'the other man."
 1t was soon after 10 o'clock last night when Mrs. Duryea, Van Nooy and the Duryea's twelve-year-old daughter. Gladys. appeared in front of the farmhouse where Duryea is making q temporary home. The re- IglouS leader, returned from a mis- sion at Beacon, N. Y, was alone in the house. reading the Bible, when the rattle and blustery halt of Ford outside brought him to the door.
 Duryea. outlined in the doorway, tried to pferca the darkness to iden- t1fy his visitors, Van Nooy at the wheel, Mrs Duryea beside him and in the back seat, curled up in the list less sleep oi sick child, the pas tors daughter. As he stood indecis- 1vely, Mrs. Duryea called to him.
 It's me, Clark, Emily she said.
 
 motion1ess.
 For q moment there was silence. Then the wife jumped from the car and ran to the porch. She threw her arms around her statue-like husband.
 Hello Hubby.
 Hello, hubby" she cried, 'I've come back to see you-Pva come back to see if we can live together again.
 '1 have nothing to offer you,'' ha said. ''Why not go to your mother in Brookiyn?"
 We are not on speaking terms"
 A pause, then:
 For the sake of the child, please take me back and give me g chance you won't try to injure me, will you"
 "No,'' said the one time Manhattan clerk who sought godliness and health in his mission, T have only perfect love for you. AS for taking you back, I do not doubt that you are repentant, but I have sold my house and furnishings. I have no place 70 keep you and I have no money"
 You don't mean to say that you are not going to take me back? haven't a friend in the world left went to my mothers in Brooklyn and she refused te> take me in. Said that had disgraced her. I haven't friend wont you please take me back?"
 Pointing down to where Van Nooy sat at the wheel, Duryea said:
 You have him, haven't you? He's waiting there, isn't he."
 'Yes,'' the wife replied. 'I guess I still have him, and I suppose he is the only one who will stand by me-"
 The arms of the wife frightened around the pastors neck, and as her head fell to his chest and she began to sob he led her to the waiting auto mobile. Without a glance at Van Nooy he helped her into the car Then he eaned in over the side and kissed the sleeping girl.
 As Duryea knelt in prayer that his wife might be turned from her path, Van .Nooy, who failed to call on the wife he deserted for Mrs. Duryea, started up the Ford and the machine went off in the night, presumably bound back to Rutherford, N. J. where Van Nooy had been employed.
 Mrs. Duryea, Van Nooy and the Duryea child were reported last night in this city. The party returned early yesterday to Rutherford, N. J. going to the home of Policeman John Do- browski where they boarded for several days after their flight. Mrs Duryea packed up some clothing she had left behind and told Mrs. Dobrow- ski that she and Van Nooy were going to find lodgings in New York city,
 Van Nooy told a similar story to Julies Koch, a contractor for whom he had worked, adding that~he and Mrs Duryea expected to make this city their permanent home
