A month passed before Ruy Plerce confessed the marriage to iia parents. How they felt about it is manifest in the present attitude. One evening early fn January the young man received a telephone call and told his wife that he would be gone for about an hour, He @id not say who called. He went out fend that was the last his bride saw of | him. She waited all night and then tele- phoned to all his friends and relatives, he telephoned to the elder Pierce and he replied that he had not seen his son and had no inkitng where he was, No spot of his disappearance was male | the police. “I did not know, but I suspected,” ead Mrs. Pi to-day, “so I deter- mined to wait patiently until the ume ame to act, Now we will fight this case in the courts to the bitter end No terms of settlement have been pro- posed and none will be accepted Well Known in Society. | Young Pierce's wife is known to so- ciety in Boston, New York, London, Paris, Berlin and the Riviera, Her beauty has been placed on canvas by noted painters.
