William Wallace of Kentucky was a
handsome and agreeable fellow and
when he married Lizzie Tudor three
years & everybody declared that Liz
zie was in great luck. Apparently they
lived in great harmony and William
seemed duly proud of his handsome
wife and pretty baby. But the other
day William disappeared and so did the
baby and Lizzie received a short note
saying that William had taken hia
child with HIM and that she would SEQ
neither of them again. Lizzie is craZed
with grief and cannot understand tho
desertion. Thu neighbors s%ympathizo
with her and AVE promised that II they
lay hands on William they will make it
warmer for him han King Edward did
for the original Wallace. And so the
matter rests.
