-lobster pals.'
VStf" when Louis Clarkson came along

Wall. Street at the time, making lots of
money and spending It. He fell for me,

dead now. It's just as well, though.
Well. I divorced him after a few
months.
"After Clarkson, I married Rees Pros

That's the mysterious and beautiful
Vera, the French girl that was men

death.
"After I had been out with him half
a dozen times, perhaps, and he was get

going to have a real party for me. I
laughed and said 'Hurry.' When It came
off. It almost made me dizzy to sec the

we will go to the club and have a real
time.'
Went To Fine House.
"The next thing the cab took us to a
magnificent house. I didn't know ex

ment would be fatal.
Kellerman rallied slightly after an
operation yesterday afternoon, but then
became worse, if he can cling to the
spark of life for twenty-four hours
longer his chances for recovery will
brighten. The injured man has a severe
fracture of the skull, caused. It is be

w-heel and fell with his head toward
the machine, according to witnesses
