thus described:
The Meeting.

Honeymoon and was on my way to

Caesar Young was also bound for
the coast, to attend the tracks in Cali

chance acquaintance ripened into
warm friendship and then into love.

however. l knew that Mr.. Young was

Il left the coast and came east for
the first time in March of last year. I
had been in New York only two weeks
when Caesar telegraphed me to come
back to San Francisco, and went. My
visit to the east made me acquainted
with my sister Julia's husband, j.
Morgan Smith, whom l had never met
before, and gave me a chance to run
down to my old home in Washington
and see my father and mother.
81 went back to the coast and met
Caesar at Los Angeles in the middle
of April, the day the races closed
there. We were together few weeks,
and then Caesar went to San Francis

I let him believe was going, for

must get new one before he sailed.

does her work equally well. Although
