OF years past and numbers among his
friends large proportion of the inhab-
itantS of that thriving town. The bride
is a stranger in the San Juan, but is of
presence and pleasant demea-
nor and will make a fitting companion
and helpnate for her husband. The

wind caught in her clothing and drove
her along before it, but she wobbled
from one side of the street 10 the other
in great distress. A strong gust of
wind then caught her on the starboard
side and dashed her up against the
two young men when she walled forth
cries of distress. The two young men
fearing they would be taken by the
police for Jack the Ripper took TO their
heels and beat the pavement regular

name was Allen and the cause of her
trouble was a heavier ballast of bug
