New
York, Ap il 16. D!snlavintr
tcarfii'lv a photoerarih nf V; , pi
bott. the actress, D'rk V nBa?l- n 'wai 1 e announcement made yester
Dutch farmer, sailed for Rott :rdam day by Clyde Eby, secretary of the
yesterday cn the Rvndair Bt..n 1 local Atheletic Association and who
opasms of grief,' he said he had cc mo
over two weeks ago ill p epared to
marry tnis bcaut ful lady, but alas!
he had been the victim cf a hrax.
VanBaalen said his horre wis h
Meestcrdjk, but that he lad rmny
f iends in Hollard Mich. A. least, h-
always counted them friends.
VanBaalen has been a widewer s'nc'
he was a young man. He s now -ixty
years old and gs he has prospered in
business, he has been thinking about
marrying again. Eligible women in
and around Meersterdyk did not seem I
to be plentiful, and in an unguartfad
moment he wrote to his friend1 in
America and ajked them if rch "and
beautiful women who would like to
marry a farmer of s'xty were plenti-
ful in the new count y. .
Dirk had almost forgotten the let-
ter when along came a reply from one)
of his old friends, who said he was
I ving in Chicago, but knew an estima-'
bal woman of Holland, Mich, who had
independent means, and who was al
ready much interested in Dirk. His
friends in Michigan had told her all
about him. The 'ettcr contained a
photo of a handsome, dark woman
wi h glowing eyes.
Dirk immediately packed his trunk
and set out for America. He did not
stop to ree the sights in New York
but took the first train to Chicago
and then to Holland, Mich., where he
looked up his old friend, Adriaan de
J mge.
Adriaan looked at the picture rather
suspiciously and then took it outside
to a man who krc.v a lot about the
atrical matte: s. When he came back
he was laughing heartily in fact4ef
was some minutes before he could k
Dirk VanBaalen in very hu ky Dutch:
Are you going to marrv Maxins
El'iott. That would be a good match J.
for you, I should think, if you could
make it."
Then Dirk began to realize the it
uation. Adriaan de Jongc assured him pleas
antly that it was just a practical
joke, and Dirk Van Baalen shortly
thereafter started for home. This is
no place, he said, for a farmer sixty
years old.

A RUINED ROMANCE
Genevieve Ward's Story of Her
Wedding Tragedy.
PARTED AT THE CHURCH DOOR
After a Dramstic Ceremony Following
a Complication That Became an In
ternational Affair and Was Ended by
Our Government and the Czar.
In Mrs. Tvcedic"s "Thirteen Vr-us
of a Husy Woman's Life" are ".;.(
stories of Ouevleve Ward, the Caututia
actress.
One uioraiiiK In March. 1D0S, came a
knock on Mrs. TweeUie's door, and in
walked Miss Vnrd.
"Out for inj constitutional, my dear,"
she exclaimed. "So I thought I would
Just look you up. 1 lmre walked six
miles this morning, mid after a little
rest and chat with you I shall walk an
other mile home and enjoy my lunch
son nil the better for It."
"Von are a marvelT' exclaimed our
author "8even miles nud overserenty.
I saw your 'Volumnia" was a great suc
cess the other day when you played It
with Benson'"
"Vex." she said, "and the next day 1
started for Home. 1 got a telegram say
Ins one of three old cousins, with whom
1 was staying In liome a few weeks
previously, had died suddenly, so four
hours after receiving the message I set
out."
"Were you very tired?"
"No. not at all. I knitted nearly all
the way and talked to my fellow pas
sengers and when I arrived. Instead of
resting, went at once to see to some
business, for these two old sisters, one
of whom Is blind, were absolutely pros
trated with grief and had done nothlug
while awaiting my nrrlvnl. I stayed a
fortnight with fbein. settled them up
and nrrived back a few days ago."
Here Is the flat hetle story of Miss
Ward's marriage tragedy as she told It
to Mrs. Tweedlc:
"I was traveling with my mother and
brother nn the lilvlera In 1S.Vi when
we met a Russian. Count de Cuerhel
He was verv tall, very handsome, very
fasclnntlns. very rich and twenty-eight
I was seventeen. He fell In love with
me. mill It was settled I should be mar
rted at the consulate at Nice, which I
was. But the Russian law required
that the marriage should lie repeated
In the Russian church to make the
ceremony binding: otherwise I was his
legal wife, but he was not my legal
husband
"It was arranged, therefore, that I
should go to Purls with my mother
the count going on In advance to nr
range everything, and we would be re
married there In the Greek church
When we arrived in 1'ari It was Lent,
when no marriage can take place In
tbe Greek church, and so time passed
on.
"Be must have been a thoroughly
bod man, because be did bis best at
that time to persuade me to ran away
with him, always reminding me that 1
was bis legal wlfo. Tbe whole tblng
was merely a trick of tbis handsome,
fascinating rascal. He promised me
that If I would go to him be would
take me to Russia at once, and there
we should be remarried according fo
tbe rules of the Greek church. Being
positively frigbteued by bis persist
ence, I told my mother. At tbe same
time rumors of De Ouerbel's amour
and debts reached her ears, and she
wrote to a cousin of otirs, then Amerl
ran minister In St. Petersburg, for con
firmation of these reports.
"Sly cousin replied. 'Gome at one.'
We went, I. of course, under my nam
of Countess de Guffcbel, which I had
natnrnlly assumed from tbe day of our
wedding at Mee. and w stayed at the
embassy to St. Petersburg. The
count's brother was charming to .me
He told us my husband was a vlllatt
snd I had lietter letive him alone. Tluii
was luntosiilble. however. I was tna
rled to him. but he was nof married to
me. and such a state of affairs could
not remain.
"It became an International matter,
and it was arranged by the American
government aud tbe czar that we
should lie officially married at War
law. The count refused to come. The
csar therefore sent sealed orders for
his appearance. Wearing a black dress
and feeliug apprehensive nud misera
bly sad. I went to the church, nnd at
the nltar rails, supported by my father
and mother and the count's brother, I
met' my husband.
"It was n horrible crisis, for I knew
my father was armed with a loaded
revolver, and if De Guerbel refused to
give me the last legal right, which was
morally already mine, its contents
would put nn end to the adventurer's
life. There we stood, husband and
wife, knowing the service was a mere
form, but the marriage was lawfully
effected. He had completed his part
of the bargaiu, nud we had learned his
villainy. -At the door of the church we
parted, aud I never saw him again."
