When the martial spirit seized upor
everybody young Vogelsang did moi
escape. He wanted to go into the
navy, but he did not want to risk los
ing his lady fair, looking upon her az
a prize so fair and so rare that, II left
unguarded a moment, she might be
seized and boldly and cruelty torn
from him. They talked 1t all over
and figured On many schemes. The
final outcome was that he decided
that marriage was the o.ly tie that
would positively bind. Accordingly q
trip to Ironton was planned. The
lady took into her confidence just two
people, a school girl friend, then re-
Gently wed, and that friends husband,
The trip to Ironton, however, was
made by the couple alone. On the
way down they met an acquaintance
or two, and in Ironton the young man
met at least one friend.
There was some trouble about get
ting the license, bat young vogeIsang
made oath that he was over 81 years

as over IS. Then they went to the

II such q notice had appeared In
the customary colnmns OF the news
papers at Ironton, st. Louis or Mex

matter might have caused a bit Of
gossip for a few days. Appearlngno now
for the first time, nearly fifteen

formed, the announcement will doubt

two young people have been so sue
cessful in keeping their marriage a
secret, and why, m matters that will
doubtless be largely speculated upon.
There is similar ground for guess
work as to how long they would have
refrained from making public declara-

st. Louis, In search Of other informa-
ton, came across tbs names in the
official record at Ironton. Recognize

In the early part Of 1898 and for
some time previous Mary Dorothy
Burhop was a student at Mary Iusti-
tute, in st. Louis She was noted no
less for her charm of manner and
handsome face and figure than for
studiousneas and high standing in the
school. One other thing made her
noted among her school-fellows-her
h~istrionic talent and her inclination
for theatricals. The descendant OF
one of the first families Of Virginia,
OF blue blood and aristocratic lineage,
she had inherited the beauty OF that
dark type peculiar to the Southland
brown eyes, black hair, regular fea-
lures OF a delicate mold, yet firmly
cast, and illumined with the rare
light Of intelligence Of a high degree;
grace of carriage, coupled with Q
qusenly dignity that made her, even
as q school girl, a distinguished figure
in any gathering. Her home was in
Mexico, Mo-, where her father, ]. NJ,
Burhop, was and still Is in business,
Her uncle, Rev. 8. H. Pollard, II
president of the Hooper Institute, Of
Clarksburg, Moniteau county, Mo-
and was chaplain OF the lower house
OF the General Assembly. Miss Mary
came to St. Louis solely for the pur'
pose Of attending Mary Institute.
Such was the young girl who, early
In January, 1895, was introduced tc

one OF the most prominent business
men OF st. Louie, Henry Vogelsang
