went in search of her papers, but could
not find them. She said that she had
paid a lawyer $50 for his trouble in

himself made application and was

Kept by the mother. Then
stephen married his second wife and

Unable to longer endure the separation
she finally prevailed upon her husband
to pay visit to Battle Creek and, II

but paid no attention to them until
they stepped in front of him and asked
