"I have decided to make our marriage on July 12, your birthday. T would Ike to be married at my hous} in New Hampshire, but I think we had better have It over privately." This was In June, No more was said upon the subject. and I had forgotten the matter until between 11 and 12 o'clock on the morning of the following July 12 in 1899 my telephone rang. How They Were Wed. “I suppose you know there is going to be a quiet ceremony this evening,” said a voles which I quickly recognized, “But I am not prepared,’ was my ‘our word, your word," he fairly shouted. “Don't fai] to be at my office at 3 o'clock.” ! ‘To make & long story brief, we went, to Yonkers, Y¥., and were married} that evening by the’Rev, William Grant, | of the First Reformed Church, all of! the arranzements beng previously made by Tewksbury’s lawyer, who with the clergyman's Wife acted as a witness. Evidence that I had no intention of taking such @ step on leaving the hotel is borne out by my wearing a plain gray skirt and white blouse. ‘Our wed- ding dinner was at the Hotel Manhat tan, and we agreed to keep the mar rlage secret, he leaving me at the en- trance of the Hotel Majestic and re- turning to his own apartment. ‘The charge of grand larceny upon which Tewksbury was arrested in Phila- delphia a few days ago grew out of a} transiction between us Jan. 18, 1900, six months after our strange marriage—a marriage in name only. At 1,80 P. M. on that day the telephone In my apart ment rang. I was aUll at the Majestic and known to every one there as Mrs. M, M. Grunhut, the only name I have ever publicly acknowledged, Wanted More Money. The yotve was Tewksbury's: ‘My dear little woman, I have a very trou- blesome client and if T cannot make @ good showing at 3 P.

Months passed and my time was chiefly engaged In run- ning to my attorneys, without any word In January, 1902, 1 got a private mes- sage that Tewksbury was prosperous | again and in Loniton.

Salled for England. Now comes the most unipeasant part of my narrative. Reports of Tewks- bury's new wealth were so frequent carly in 18% that my lawyer friends ad- vised against his extradition, but urged that I cross the ocean again and begin suit in the civil courts of England to recover that portion of my fortune for which I had vouchers.
