succeed and excel as a scholar, and studied
very hard. He knew Of no trouble that she
had that would lead her to suicide or even to
flight from her home, and there was no person.

to elope with him. Miss Brown attended the
theater Wednesday evening with members of
her family and appeared to be in gay spirits
