Pan-American Exposition Commission
has received a letter from Archie B. Nc
Ardle, telling how Washington's big tree

the means Of reuniting two lovers who
were parted years ago by petty quarrel.
The letter was written from Independence,
Iowa, and reads:
Ten years ago, while living in a town
not far from Buffalo, 1 was engaged to
Miss Margie Hunter, and we were about
to be married when a small dispute arose
breaking the engagement. AS every one
knew we were to be married in few
weeks 1 was deeply chagrined, and the
next day left town, going to Colorado and
securing work in mine.
Il heard occasionally from my old home
and learned, that the, girl with whom I
was so deeply in love had moved with her
parents to Iowa. I never heard directly
from her and, Of course, never wrote her.
After a. few years / lost all track of her.
Early in August, with a party Of friends,
was visiting the Pan-AmerIcan, and IN
the course of sightseeing came into your
big tree. The side walls were covered
to write mine on the only space l could
see that was not covered, when I dis
covered the name, Margie Hunter, 1nde-
pendence, Iowa.
Next day l wrote her from Buffalo,
telling her Of the peculiar way 1 had dis
