sion WAS that he s'ood no chance at all.
But imagine their surprise when the
papers published the fact that the
ypung man and the young woman had
been granted license To marry. One of
his rivals, as the young ladies call
them, started out 10 ascertain whether
the pub ication was q fact, as he had
received compromising pledges from
the young lady, and on his way met
another 'rivalN who had embarked on
IL similar mission. The two after n
sharp talk agreed 10 go together and
make the investigation, and TO their
utter CONSERVATION discovered that the
, license had not only been granted, but
