Millicent Eaton, a pretty little woman with brown hair and big brown eyes, waited nervously In the Eaton apart- ments, in the Cordova Court, No. 610 West One Hundred and Seventy- eighth street. Mé@ton had said he would return early and when he did not come in Mrs, Eaton sang her five-year-old daughter, Vivian, to sleep and then began a vigil which lasted until an Evening Wor! re- porter rang the bell this morning. “Here's papa—hei papa now!” sounded the child's voice within the apartment, and the girl few down the front hall and opened the door. The smile of welcome left ber face as she exclaimed: papa!” Then Mrs, Eaton reached the door. She had heard nothing of the trouble her husband was in; she knew only that he had not returned ‘home’ all night and she was frightened, but had steadied herself for any news. Calmly she read the account in morning newspapers of the ruse by which Mrs, Gertrude Pike, wife of Arthur EB, Pike, a cotton merchant, living at No, 640 Riverside Drive, had lured Eaton to Manhattan avenue and One Hundred and Third street and there delivered him to the police, charging him with having robbed her of $1,500 in jewel- ry, thirty pairs of silk stockings and twenty pair of gloves. Shegread how Eaton had accompanied the detectives, almost debonairly, and how, in front of the station house, he had broken away, fled and nally fallen with a policeman’s bullet in his back.

Eaton read and then sie decared bravely: WIFE REFUSES TO BELIEVE MAN 18 HER HUSBAND. “It can't be Herbert, it is true he wasn't home all night, but I shall hear from him soon and he will ex- plain, It can't be he.
