A REAL ROMANCE.

WASHINGTON, November 19.-The recent
arrest of clerk in the Surgeon Generals
office for being a deserter from the Marine
Corps, has developed a very romantic story
OF love and adventure. A young French
man named Adolph Doyenhard came to
this country with his mother about four
years ago. He failed TO find suitable en-
pioyment and finally enlisted as marine.
A Few weeks experience i'm that
