sought the young lsdy's hand in mar

Fortunate and continued to press his
suit however. until Miss Otto finally
declared that she would see no more OF

At the door and shortly returned with

DO excused Thercupon Hahn de-
clared that he must see the
girl and forced his way past the
servant and into the house. Ia tho
hallway he met John Otto, who had
been aroused By tho alteration at tbs
