An acquaintance of the editor OF the Illinois

mother, and they were Of that age when she
could no longer conceal the real facts OF their
fathers absence from them. and for their honor
and good name he returned 10 them.

kraemer. so q reporter learned today, that
Marie and Paul Wolf were married and she
had no doubt as 70 her daughter being his wife.

as Marie Wolf, and under that name her re-
mains viii be consigned TO the gronud this
aiternoo when the last chapter Of the woman
varied life Of happiness and despair will have
