leaving their home in that place some

obtained work in Kenton. Shortly
after hoir arrival IN that town, Norman
formed tho acquaintance OF young
lady, With whom he fell deeply In love.
They were apparently devoted TO each
other, and after he came to this city
letters were frequent between them.

month, and then came n change In the
letters sent by the young lady. They
became moro infrequent, and their
changed tone showed that something
was wrong. Last week, Norman
learned TINT his alliance was keeping
company with another young man,
