She heard from him once or * twice,, and he said he was escaping to America, and asked her tofollow him. So she did. And she told her story to the New York and Boston newspapers, but she was never able to find any trace of him. Almost penniless, she Came to New Haven. She read my story, thought perhaps I was a Russian writing un­ der a pen name, went to the newspa­ per office, obtalned^my address, and with a few faint hopes, she came to my apartment. “ ‘Of course the men in the office knew who you were,’ she said indig­ nantly, ‘but I suppose they thought it would be a good story for you to find me here.’ “ ‘God bless the newspaper men,’. 1 said fervently. ‘And I’ll help you find yzour brother—what is your name, by the way?’. “ ‘Dounia Petromen off, but I couldn’t think of letting you try to find him,’ •he protested. ’ “ ‘Think nothing of it.

Clair looked through his until he found a small en­ velope addressed in large, unusual handwriting. “An invitation to spend Christmas with Dotmia ahd her brother,” he ex­ claimed, as He tore open the letter’: “May I come, too?" teased Lawson. Clair read: “Dear Johnnie: I want to thank you many, many times for finding Leo. It has made me very happy, and you were so kind to look for h|m. But I want to ask your forgiveness for de­ ceiving you, for it wasn’t my broth­ er whom you were looking for. It was my husband. “He sends his best regards.
