THE suit WITHDRAWN.
MRS. A. @. ARMSTRONG NOW
SAYS SHE DOES NOT WANT
A DIVORCE.
THE COUPLE WILL LIVE TOGETHER.
Mrs Armstrong Did Not Consult Her
Attorney Before Deciding to
Take Action She Talks
sparingly.

Another, and 1t is to be hoped the
last chapter, has been added to the
much talked Of marital woes of Mr..
and Mrs. A. @. Armstrong. The last
chapter is short, but contains world.
Mrs. Armstrong called at the Circuit
Clerks Office Friday morning and,
paying the costs, withdrew the pe-
tition which she bad filed on July IL,
asking that she be granted q divorce
from her husband. This was done
without consulting her lawyer, who
knew nothing of the withdrawal of
the suit until he was informed
through outside parties.
MRS. ARMSTRONG TALKS BUT LITTLE.
When seen at her nome on Clark
avenue this afternoon Mrs. Armstrong
showed but slight inclination to talk Of
the case. In answer to questions she
said:
"Mr. Armstrong called at Mrs.
]. P. Olark's house, next door, this
morning and sent for me.
81 went over there and 1t was
agreed that we live together again
and forget past differences.
"He agreed to do rs wanted him
to In everything"
"What we're the provisions OF the
agreement TO again live together7'
was asked.
"That cannot answer" said Mrs.
Armstrong.
Later she said that one of the pro-
visions was that her brother-in-law,
James Armstrong, was not to come
on the place; previous to now she
has said that he was the cause OF her
trouble with her husband.
Mrs. Armstrong seemed glad that
q reconciliation had been effected
between herselfland husband.
Mr.. Armstrong when seen declined
to discuss the case at all.
CHAPTERS GONE BY.
Along In the early spring A. q.
Armstrong bought a nicely located lot
on Clark Avenue and across from
Hardin Park. Workmen soon began
to throw up the dirt In grading and
digging foundations. Soon the brick
makers were at work and were sue
ceeded by the carpenters who bullded
and builded until as pretty a little cot
tage stood on the lot as is TO be found
In Mexico.
"a. g." as Mr.. Armstrong is known
among his friends, saw at least every
other brick and timber put in the
house. He was there time and again
each day offering suggestion here
and one there. When asked by re-
porters why he made such prepara-
tions he but smiled and said, "I'n
not let you be 'scooped'; I've nothing
to say"
Finally, the home was completed
and furniture and delivery wagons
began to make trips out there. The
house was finally fully finished.
The blossom bursted on the night
of May "A, when Mr.. Armstrong was
wed to Mics Daisy O. Leniton. They
went at once TO the new home to
live. In few days the opened blos-
som began to fade; this was due to
the fact that the husband had told his
wife that he was a ruined man and
advised that they live apart until he
could recuperate. The blossom with
cred still more as the days passed and
mlstrust was implanted In the heart
Of the pretty young wife. Th ere were
dark days following; the house was
locked against the wife; she after
ward took forcible possession. Tne
gathering storm finally broke and the
dry and withered blossom fell to the
ground; divorce proceedings were fil-
ed. This was on July IL, but fifty
four days after the marriage.
The LEDGER contained full ac-
count OF the allegations at the time;
chief among these was the charge Of
non-support.
Friday morning, refreshed by new
vows, the fallen blossom took root In
fertile soil and blossomed again. The
couple will live together. May this be
their last Misunderstanding.
