pretty young lady, 1t was but natural that
he should fall In love with her. To all ap-
pearances his love was reciprocated, and
after awhile ft7wag announced that they

| everyone by announcing that the wedding
was indefinitely postponed, for some rea-
son known only to herself But Salvas did
not lose hope, although 1t seemed he was
hoping In vain, as q second suitor for her
hand appeared on the scene
According to Miss Pelkey, she did not
care much for this second lover, although
her parents favored the match, but never
theless few months ago 1t was announced
she was engaged to lover No. and the
wedding day was set; and the young man
prepared for the notable event. The young
man made elaborate preparations for the
wedding, as he thought nothing was too
good for his promised bride.
All this time Miss Pelkey had been
working in Attleboro, but few days be-
fore the supposed wedding day she left her
boarding house and said she was going to
prepare for the wedding. This was the
last seen of her for some time.
The expectant groom knew not what to
do but decided to make the most OF the
matter thinking she would return to him
repentant and ''they would marry and live
happy ever after" But the young lady
had other ideas. A few days ago 1t was
learned that Miss Pelkey was in Boston
staying with relatives.
The first suitor hearing of the second
intended marriage that did not take place,
went to Boston, and when he returned
Miss Pelkey returned with him, and they
announced that they had become recon-
ciled and that they would we married

peared for second time, and Mr.. Salvas is
wondering where the matter will end. A
good many other people are, too.
