W THO could have guessed that the most

Sweet Home" would wait to be
written by a wandering actor who never had
homeo Or that the most blood freezing
story in the English language - that of the
Frankenstein monster would be created by
delicately lovely girl of nineteen? Who could
have guessed that Fate would bring these two
together in fantastic but tender love affair?
1t began one day in 1918, when handsome
young John Howard Payne stood unrecog-
Lane Theatre, where he was scheduled to
make, that night, his first theatrical appear
ance in London. A drunken English sailor was
telling the group that no Yankee should be
allowed to play on an English stage while the
two countries were at war. lmpetuously the
prettest of a trio of girls spoke up in defence
of the young American.
Payne was fascinated, and lost no time in
finding out the girls name - Mary Goodwin
But in spite of all his maneuvers, it was
long time before he met her. She was not only
fascinating but notorious. The wild young
poet Shelley, married though he was to one of
the beauties of England, had fallen madly in
love with Mary Goodwin. While Payne was
still languishing hopelessly. longing to meet
her. Shelley scandalized all England by run
ming away with her. leaving his wife Harriet
to drown herself

agonize him besides his frustrated love for

branching out as an actor manager. he went
deeply into debt, and was thrown into

Payne slammed the door and as the horse
leapt at the crack of the whip. he softly opened
the opposite door and stepped out, closing it
as gently as he could.
He found himself almost under the wheels
of a handsome private carriage. Desperately
he tore the door open, and closed it after him.
He planned to make another exit as before,
but his way was barred by a pair of knees
very richly apparelled and supporting large

me. My husband is away and -" She evi-
IDENTIFY enjoyed cheating Others than bailiffs.
Few men are brave enough to fight free of
such situation, but Payne had had to learn
how to evade the nets that women cast at him.
Being pursued by the sheriff's men is the
least of my bad luck. To be unable to accept
an invitation from you is almost more than
can - can"
Lie out Of" she finished for him.
IF you will give me your name and set
another hour -
Il know when I'm snubbed. Goodbye and
good luckp'
He seized her hand and kissed it with a
genuine gratitude that she appraised exactly,
for she said:
I've let many birds out of cages, but you
are the first that ever thanked me. BY the
way, I'm singing your Home, Sweet Home
at my next concert 1t will have different
meaning from now on
MAY at least ask your name. and where
you sing2"
She shook her beautiful head and called the
driver to stop.
Helpless, Payne kissed her hand again and
bowed himself out. And was nearly run down
by the very hackman into whose coach he had
stepped. The man almost fell off his box at
seeing ahead of him the passenger he had sup
posed inside. Before he could solve the
riddle, Payne had lost himself in the crowd.
He hid himself in a squalid tap-room and
puzzled the barmaid by fit of painful
laughter. He was thinking:
"And you are what was going to ask Mary
Shelley to marry you! You'd have to 60 to the
altar in womens clothes to get there, and
climb out of window to get away"
The hard fact was before him: his secret
lodgings had been discovered. One of his
creditors was hard after him. Which one?
How to find out? He thought of Charles Lamb.
Lamb had little money but a big heart.
When he saw his friend, Lamb volunteered
not only to find out who Paynes relentless
creditor was, but also to raise somehow the
money to quiet him.
Payne hid himself while Lamb kept his
promise. But there were other creditors, and
Payne had to lead the life of fox, while
hacking to shreds very real genius for play

but for Mary Shelley.
Suddenly there was ray of light. Irving
sent Payne highly polished version of a
comedy they had been constructing together
in Paris - a delicious thing called Charles II,
or the Merry Monarch" Irving begged Payne
not to betray his connection with it. Payne
smuggled the manuscript to Charles Kemble,
the actor-manager of Covent Garden, and
finally Kemble sent for him to say:
Payne, we rather like this little meringue
of yours. OF course we can't foresee how our
dear public will take the sport you make of a
king, so we can venture no more than fifty
pounds on it."
Fifty pounds down on how much2'
Fifty pounds tn toto"
Having sold it so cheaply, of course it would
succeed. 1t ran about the world for dozens of
years London went quite mad over it. King
George ~ commanded performance, though
Drury Lane was his royal theatre But Payne
was sckened by the irony of that fifty pounds

Worse yet. Irving suddenly dashed across

handbook A lurch of the coach threw him
across those knees, and he stared at his fellow
passenger, who stared at him with eyes of
huge beauty and alert mischief.
A voice of honey saluted him: "Mr
Howard Payner'
As Payne turned inquiring eyes upon the
strange lady into whose carriage he had burst
50 unCeremoniously, she answered his un-
spoken question: mo, you haven't the honor
ofknowing me. But saw you in all your plays
and - to what do owe the honor -- of -"
"Bailiffs!" he painted.
Everybody in London seemed to make a
game of cheating bailiffs. Nearly all of the
eminent painters, poets, novelists, peers,
rakes-about town had been bounded by them,
and it was almost a distinction to be pursued.
The gorgeous stranger entered at once into the
sport.
She commanded: "Sit down and 90 to
sleepr'
She whisked from the band box huge new
plumed hat, spread it over Payne's head and
flung across his body her great velvet cloak
She had just tucked it under his chin when the
bailiff, breathing hard and in ferocious
humor, thrust head in at the door and
stared. As he was about to speak, the lady put
her finger to her lips and said:
'Shhh! Auntie is asleep!'
The bailiff stared at the heap of heaving
velvet and lace under the great hat He was
tempted to lift the brim and peer, but he did
not quite dare waken one of those sleeping
lionesses. His face vanished and the carriage
rolled on. At last Payne heard voice:
We've left him far behind now It's safe to
come OUT
He made her as pretty speech as he could
when Beauty such as yours is so good to
such distress as mine -
There he stuck. She cancelled the obligation
