that covers should be laid for one.hun'
dred and fifty guests. and Mr.. Galluba
received carte blanche to make 1t as ex-
pensive as he pleased. As consequence

TIE TRUE ISwARpSEss OF THE CASE
was revealed during an interview be.
tween a reporter and an inmate of the
Fischer family. The parents of Conrad
we're devoted Catholics, while those OF
the girl were protestsnts. The knowl-
edge of this fact served to make the
pathway of the lovers the reverse OF
smooth. The Fischers did not want
their daughter married TO a Catholic
and the Kunkels were still more strong
ly opposed to the match. Conrad was
their only offspring, and they professed
to see in such union long life of un-
happiness. In obedience to the parents
at both sides the courtship was given up.
After time had elapsed.
