WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Feb. TO-
Counsel for Adolph Eckstrom,
estranged husband of Marion Talley,
said last night he would sue the
former opera prodigy for a separa-
tion on grounds of abandonment as
soon as she could be found.
Miss Talleys whereabouts re-
manned a secret as Supreme Court
Justice Gerald Nolan limited he
might dismiss her suit against Eek
strom's family to regain custody Of
the 3-year-old daughter she left in
the care Of others when she went
into the movies.
Papers in the separation suit will
include petition for custody of the
child, Frank Delaney, Eckstrom's S
lawyer, said. and will be filed in
New York County as soon as Miss
Talley can be served. Her attorneys
claimed yesterday that Eckstrom,
also named in the custody suit here,
was evading service of summons.
Birthplace Is Mystery.
A mystery developed, meanwhile,
over the birthplace of Susan Eek
strom, who will be years old in
April
Both Eckstrom's secretary and his
attorney said Susan was born in st.
Paul, MINI.
Minnesota health authorities said
that M child named Cusop Fol-
strom or Susan Talley appeared in
the birth registry of that State for
1885 and that non-report of birth
constitutes violation of the law by
the attending physician.
The former Kansas City girl, who
was hailed as the American Night
ingale" at her Metropolitan Opera
House debut in 1926, charged in her
suit that without an immediate op-
GRAFTON the child might 60 blind in
one eye within year and that Eek
strom had refused to have it per-
formed.

a. delicate operation. My doctors
have told me she will lose sight in
the eye within a year unless she is
operated on"
Eckstrom's secretary. Miss Edith
Klein, who has cared for Susan since
she was 2 years old, said the child
"iS only troubled when she becomes
excited and then her eye-lid flut-
ters."
Unwise to Operate Now.
"Our doctors have told us that it
would be unwise to operate until
Susan is or 8 years old"
Miss Klein said she and Miss
Esther Lundell, former piano ac-
companist for Miss Talley on con-
cert tours, had undertaken Susan's
care after her birth, in April, 1885
lin st. Paul"
Miss Talley had a movie con-
tract starting in June, so she had to
find some one to take care of the
baby" Miss Klein said in an in
terview.
"She is q darling child, bright
as pin, always asking ques-
tions. We have kept in the back
ground all these years."

thought Eric. Something will hap

wind opened window right in
back OF the Kings chair. The King
grew cold. He wrapped his robe
about him. But he was too cour-
teous to rise and spoil the program.
Not one of the princesses saw that
he seemed uncomfortable. One
danced, one sang, one played the
harp, one told stories, and one was
so beautiful she did nothing at all.
But some one did slip quietly
around the room and closed the
window. The King smiled thanks
up at her. 1t was Elsa in her old
black dress and shawl.

Eric lay awake long after all the
Toyshop had dropped off to happy
dreams. How" worried Eric, lam l
to tell who would be the right
queen for the King. Maybe the
Queen of Fairies will tell me-
So he ran out of the Toyshop and
blew a trill on his flute. In a
twinkling the little Queen was
standing on his shoulder. He asked
his question.
She said. Bring all the neighbor-
ing princesses here. Watch them
and you will see One will be the
kindest. That will be the one"
But all the princesses are gra-
cious,' said Eric
"Wait and see," said the Queen,
and she was gone.
So Eric piped up a flock of woods
fairies. GO spread the news" he
said, that the King of Westphalia
wishes a queen and bring every
one back by high noon."
The fairies futtered off, and Eric
went back to sleep. Breakfast was
merry. Santa sat next to Elsa,
and Mrs. Santa poured hot choco-
late for every one. The King of
Westphalia asked Eric what the
day would bring there. So Eric
laughed mischievously down at
Santa and said:
Sire, you will have a busy day.
The news has gone out that you
have a famous guest and there
will be visitors. Five or six prin-
cesses will be here with their courts
by noon"
A Brave Company.
"Gracioous!' said Mrs. Santa.
we must rush and bake" In a
second the Topshop was in bus
tie. Gnomes were sweeping off the
walks. Fairies were hanging Christ
mas Wreaths. Just before noon Mrs.
Santa put on her prettiest dress
Of white velvet, with red holly en-
broidered around the hem. Elsa
combed her hair.
At noon bugles were heard from
five hills, and there came riding,
carrying banners, brave company
behind which rode five beautiful
princesses. The first to arrive wore a
golden dress. She curtsied to Santa
and said, I'VE have been invited
here. And We have ridden all
night"
Eric watched, leaning against a
window frame, standing next to the
char in which Leezen sat. He
smiled quietly and watched the King
of Westphalia who was bowling
courteously to the company. He Cb-
viously didn't know the party was
for him.
The whole group banqueted
richly. And afterward one prin-
cess sang, one danced, one played a
harp, one told stories and one was
so beautiful she did nothing at all.
Proud Peacocks.
Eric heard a voice near him
say, "Oh, I wish 1 were as lovely
as they" He turned to see Elsa
next him, looking wistful. He took
her hand and said, You are lovely
TO me-"

Bus Business Improving,

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Measured
by passenger revenues per road
mile the bus business is following
the climb of business in general
toward higher levels, according to a
preliminary study made by Bus
Transportation for the first nine
months of 1899 Intercity COM
panies show a 3345 per cent gain
over the first nine months of 1888.
City and suburban companies are
following the rise of intercity COM
pan1es and are 1925 per cent bet
ter of than in the same period
last year. City companies also show
an increase of 800 per cent.
The same general trend upward
is reflected in the third-quarter
figures for 1889, from July to Sep
tember 30 In this quarter the
survey reveals that the passenger
revenues per road mile of intercity
companies increased 27.13 per cent
over the same quarter in 1898.
City and suburban companies have
risen 4l.44 per cent, while revenues
Of city companies increased 4.8S
per. cent.
Just as economic experts cannot
put their fingers on any one force
that is causing general business to
rise, neither can the reason for the
increase in bus revenues be ex-
planned clearly at the present time.
All that can be safely stated is
that the bus industry has enjoyed
the gradual betterment of business,
and the rise in revenues has come
as a result.
