metrical precision the nearest day in the
great unmapped future when circum-
stance will permit him to wed the girl Of

ration of the youthful lovers is only tenn
porary. A dispatch received from Bakers

Miss Adds was making hurried prepara-
tons for an immediate departure to San
Francisco. The morning mail from San
Francisco brought her letter and le-
mittance of money. During the day she
received several kilograms. She devoted
the afternoon to making various pur-
chases OF dry goods and other articles.
and made every preparation to leave with
her brother on the Ii p. m. train for San
Francisco. Miss Adds is in possession
of Douglas address in this city, the tele-
gram stated, and the young people viii
undoubtedly meet today TO arrange for
their future happiness. The young man $

his efforts to seclude himself are thus ex-
planned. His purpose in coming to San

plishing in Bakerstield-his marriage to
Miss Loretta Adds.

The young lady who may be expected
to marry the youthful son of the Marquis
of Queensberry has three brothers. One
is clerk in the employ of Miller, Sloss
& Scott and another drives an express
wagon. If the youthful pair are married
the romantic affair will doubtless create a
great deal of talk on both sides of the

has an affection of the heart which is not
to be relieved by all the digitalis in the
