i When the wedding day approached

name but which expresses her char.
acteristics, packed up her fnery
and the money which her confdine
lover had given her, and left that mis-
guided mortal to cool his heels and
ponder upon the ickleness of the sex
that needs protection. Without the
slightest warning he was given the
gentle flip to the ceiling and now his
roseate dreams of happy home and
dutiful little wife have vanished
utterly and completely.

For long time he has been engaged
to young lady in St. Paul and this
week they were to have walked up the
aisle of church and listened to the
fatefull words which would have linked
their destinies for life. Wednesday
he spent delightful day in the com
pany of the bride-elect. She was be-
comingly gowned in a dress which he
had purchased and together they dis
cussed plans for the wedding, she even
going to the length of showing him
the beautiful things which she had
purchased for her trossau and explain
ing delightfully."- many of the little mys-
teries of femininity
Never had she been so solicitous of
his welfare, nor gone to greater pains
to give him pleasure and when neces-
sity compelled him to leave her side he
wrailed 6ercely at his wretched luck.
But he came to New Ulm nevertheless,
and for three days worked hard in the
Interests of his publication. Thurs
day he did not expect to hear from his
hearts desire but when Friday passed
and no loving missive came: he was
plainly i'll at ease. Saturday the letter
came, but it gave him anything but the
pleasure he anticipated.
It was dated from a little town in
Montana and told him calmly that
henceforth she would be no more to
him than a memory. In tone it was
chillier than the northeast wind which
was making things uncomfortable for
the fans at the ball game. She had
discovered, she said, that she was mis-
taken in her feelings. It was now
plain to her that they were unsuited
for one another and she could not
bring herself to allow of the marriage
being consummated when she could
not give him the affection he expected
and deserved, when she could not re-
quite to the full his passionate pulse
beats and when she could offer only
FROST bitten husk in the place of the
throbbing, pulsating heart.whose every
beat should have been for him. She
asked, therefore, that he forget and
despise her, but promised to act in the
capacity Of a sort Of second cousin.
When the travelling man realized the
import of the communication he was
dumbfounded; then a fierce rage filled
him against the fair deciever. He
made instant preparation for pursuit
but while waiting for train took oc-
.casion to confde in several persons.
To them he showed a photograph of
very handsome girl Of twenty, remark
ably good looking and possessing
culture.
He then recounted his relations with
his inamorata. He had, he averred,
assisted the girl in, many ways, for
several years. When she was of
suitable age he sent her away to col
lege and maintained her in the school,
paying her tuition expenses and buy
ing her clothing. Upon her gradua-
ton she had readily promised to be-
come his bride, wherepon he deposited
$500 in cash in her name in one of the
st. Paul banks and provided her with
sufficient money to prepare for the
gladstone event.
Now, to repay all his kindness, she
had left him at the crucial moment
He did not hesitate to say that he
could read between the lines of her
letter and see an elopement with an
other man and left svowing vengeance
upon his erstwhile darling and her
faithless paramount. But he never
stopped to consider that there was a
difference OF eighteen years in their
ages and that he was old enough to
have known better.
A meeting of the board of trustees of
DR.. Martin Luther college was held yes
terday.
Theodore Tonges and MISS Mary Lam
pen, both of Bashaw, were married in
