MARRIED IN
SECRET OVER
A YEAR AGO
Pretty San Leandro
All Agog.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call


COS Broadway. Sept. l.
A most romantic secret wedding has
just come to light in that town OF roman
tic happenings, San Leandro, the couple
being Miss Maude Harlan, daughter OF
George Harlan. one of the survivors OF
the Bonner Lake expedition, and Robert
Henry, a lieutenant in the Salvation Army,
but more recently a mate on coast
ing vessel.
For over thirteen months the marriage
has been kept from the town gossips OF
San Leandro, only to leak out through
the. groom, who was not as close Gutheu
as his wife's family wished him to be. In
fact, until few days ago Mrs. Henry Wig
orously denied the limitations Wnlch her
husband had dropped on several occasions,
but when she saw that the secret was out
she declared herself and is now no longer
playing the role of single woman:
1t was about two years ago that Henry'
then an active worker in the salvation
Army cause, was detailed to labor IN san
Leandro. He set to work with a Will, and
being an earnest, forceful and eloquent
speaker soon had largely attended meet
ings. Among the most regular OF the at
Harlan, who had long been prominently
identified with the charitable wo-k prose
cuted by the Presbyterian church.
Henrys fervor and worth made an I'M
preston upon Miss Harlan, so much SO
that their acquaintance soon ripened into
love. The young man was permitted 10
visit Miss Harlan at her home and an en-
gagement naturally followed. on July
"a Of last year they decided TO become nan
and wife. and so travelled over to san
Rafael, where they were married by the
Presbyterian minister of that place AS
the young woman returned 70 her home
the same evening her parents suspicious
were not aroused, and for long time the
old folks were in ali solute ignoranee Of
what had TRANSFERRED
Eventually, however, the brides family
guessed al the young woman's secret and
She admitted it. but persisted in keeping
the fact Of a marriage from the public i'll
spite of her husbands protests. There
probably was a design in Henry's sugges-
lions dropped casually to his friends. for
the secret is now out. To-day Henry left
for the north on a six weeks voyage.
