DR.. Hjelmar Sangstrund and Captain
Olaf Dahlin raced all the way from Scandi-

Were rivals for the hand Of Gerda Thorn
gren, the daughter of a tenant of Dahlin's
father. Three years ago her family re-
solved to seek a new home in America.
Sangstrund was then pursuing his studies
a the University of Stockholm. His father
promised him competency and permission
to wed whomsoever he would after he had
taken his degree, but threatened to cut
him off with a shilling if he married
sooner. Dahlin was q lieutenant in the
army, and feared that his chances OF pro-
motion might be injured should he take a
peasant girl to wife at the time.

should press his suit for three years. when
Sangstrund's course at the university
would be finished and Dahlin better able

future prospects. The situation was ex-

Dahlin that he should leave Hamburg on

the understanding that whoever reached
Gerda first should have her.
