The leading characters are Benjamin

upon the scene and employed an attor-
ney, with tho intention, 1t Is alleged, of
suing Frye for breach of promise and
for money which she claims TO have
advanced TO Frye TO enable him TO
meet the bills which his expensive Gu
reer had caused. 0vertures have been
made on each side but no satisfactory
settlement has yet been reached and II
Is probable that the case will come TO
