romance. Young Sanchez is the son
of j. H. Sanchez, a highly respected cit

Mexico. The young man was known
as a registering blade in his home town,
and one of his chief delights was to
attend the Mexican chicken fights,

he declared, had lighted the fires of love
in his soul, and time limped with lag

wife. He told her he had a lucrative

her an engagement ring on August 10
