a very nice little girl named Corbett.
whom l had placed some time before,
telling me that she was dissatisfied and
that she wanted TO meet q nice man and
get married. There were a good many
reasons why Mary Casey would not have
suited the Jersey man, so Mr.. Gordon
sent his letter to Miss Corbett and in
closed hers in an envelope to him. Shortly

After the first meeting Mr.. Groden
got a letter from the young man. He
wrote:
- In regard to the young lady, we were
writing to each other. aud 1 went there
Monday evening and the lady met me

about would make good wife for man.
She seems TO be las quiet as a lamb
! believe she is coming TO Trenton next
Sunday But how is it you never sent
Miss Mary Casey's address?
'Of course continued Mrs. Boyle, Mr.
Groden did not send him the address

As Mrs Boyle concluded this romantic
Renaissance Mr.. Peter Groden, at one
time detective at Castle Garden and now
agent for the Labor Bureau at Ellis
Island came into the Barge Office. He is
a short man. with gray hair and a black
mustache, who looks like a Tammany
politician. Mr. Groden had just been
present at the landing of a batch Of i'm
migrants from a White Star steamer,
and when he came in began to discourse
on the beauty of the Irish and English
lassies he had seen. Mrs. Boyle at once
introduced the writer.

asked. Then encouragingly, I'VE can
