LOVE WILL
FIND THE WAY
Missed HIS Bride at Station Bot Fol-
lowed on to Troy and Was
Happily Married.

Bennington, Dec. 20 THAT love will
find a way was again illustrated yester-
day when Mrs Ella May Bushee Of Wa
terhury, was married to Edgar Rhodes Of
P9wnal at Troy, N. u.
Rhodes, II will be remembered, had
some sad experience in Troy few months
ago, when the woman ha went down there
to meet and wed refused To hitch after she
had seen him In the depot; but later gave
him money enough to pay his fare home.
Rhodes has since claimed that her actions
that time were because he talked too much
about his love affairs.
But last Thursday afternoon he took 4
local train at rownal for Williamstown.
Later he was seen walking I'D aud down
the station platform attracting much at
tenti0n from the fact that on his left arm
was huge red bow just above the elbow.
Upon the arrival Of train from the
east Mr. Rhodes eagerly scanned every
window. He did not see the party he was
looking for and with look Of disgust left
the station. P0wnal people who were on
the tTaini however, let the matter out. In
the same car with several was lady who
had pinned on her left arm, red bow the
exact counterpart 0f that worn by Rhodes.
When she arrived at Wiliiamstown she
watched out but apparently did not see
the party that she was looking for. ID did
not leave the car. The darkness probably
prevented her seeing the bow Oh Rhodes
arm. He left Williamstown on the next
train to follow up the lady and overlook
her at Troy, where there was a joyful
meeting, which ended ID their getting
married
