That is the question which Miss Mary
Rutter, fair looking young woman of
about 20 years, living at No. 224 Madi-
son street, is asking
He was her betrothed and the mar
riage was set for tonight, but Eppler
has fed from the woman whom destiny
had apparently singled out for his
bride, and chaos reigns where happi-
ness was expected to hold full sway.
About six years ago Charles Jacob
Eppler, fresh from the land OF beer and

George II. Huber at Second and Parish

whenever It was possible.
Then came a change in Charles. He
became i'll, and complained to Mr.. HUI

put I'm charge of a bread wagon. The
outdoor exercise and air invigorated
new spirit and life into him and he
soon became as strong as ever. Several
weeks ago Charles went to Mr.. Huber

to be married and asked to be placed In
the bake house again. Mr.. Huber con.

wages.
Orders were given for the cakes, ant
