MOLINE MENTION

The efforts of the relatives and
friends to find August Goldberg, the
missing Moline business man. have
been at last rewarded, it seems, and
hope that he still lives has
been rekindled in the hearts of the
members of his family. The informal
ton comes that Mr.. Goldberg was seen
alive and well in Chicago week or
two after his disappearance from this
city. Gus Swedeberg. living at 391
Third street. a brother-in-law of Mr..
Goldberg. has been informed by friend
of the family that he met the missing
man in Chicago in the latter part of
November, and that Mr.. Colberg APP
peared to be well. Not knowing that
Mr.. Goldberg was being searched for
by relatives and friends here. the
friend made no inquiries regarding
Mr.. Colberg's strange action in leav-
ing home and business without a
word.

"As you will. Perhaps I'd better
make our confession"
II should think it would come with
d better grace from me-"
"Why SOP
You will be embarrassed in stathg,
as your native honesty will lead you
to state, that the proposal to deceive

a blazing wood fire, the flames of
which danced and glistened on pair
of old fashioned brass andirons. John
took one of her hands and Ethel the
other Then they both kissed her,
wishing her "a happy New Year"

to confess on this first day of the new

We have been leading you TO think
that we are engaged. We are not. 1t

myself alone. 1 am very much in love
with Ethel and ask your permission to
pay my addresses to her.
The old lady looked bewildered, and
EtheTs face dropped on to the arm of
her mothers chair. Then a reply came
to Johns request.

ETHEL, you hear what your mother
says. VIII you be my wife?'
Ethel without raising her head
stretched her hand across her mother TO
John.
