Pretty Romance Begun About Two
Years Ago and It's elimination
Comes as Great Surprise to
Friends of Both.

of celibacy to wed Miss May Finch
Moves here few weeks ago, he threw
the town of Hamilton into condition
of perplexed excitement, for he had been
Jealous and popular priest attached

Der of wealthy and respected family
and a recent convert to Catholicism.
By this marriage, of course, both put
themselves outside the pale of the
church.
Their friends had never even suspect
ed that they were in love or that any
thing in the way of courtship was in
volved in their association, and the first
that anyone knew of it was when the
marriage notice appeared in Hamil-
ton paper.
The romance began two years ago,
when Miss Finch-Noyes began attend
ing st. Mary's cathedral. She had been
born and brought up in the Anglican
church, where her parents still wor-
ship. She became a Catholic when Rev.
Father Stanton, of New York, was con-
Quoting a mission in that cathedral.
1t is said that while Father O'Handly
was instructing the pretty novice in her
new faith the spark was kindled which
had the old-fashioned ending of mar
riage, though her first religious instruc-
ton was given, not by him, but by Fa-
Their Walters.
Miss Finch-Noyes had always been
jealous in religious work, and follow.

Joseph's convent This change in re-
ligion did not interrupt her pleasant
home relationship, and she continued
to live beneath the parental roof, her
father being Mr.. L. Finch-Noyes, large
clothing manufacturer.
Coincident with Miss Finch-Noyes'
reception into st. Mary's cathedral was
the arrival from Antagonist, Nova SEQ
tia, of Rev. Father O'Handly as third
assistant at the cathedral. He per-
formed his duties in a creditable and
satisfactory manner and won the esteem
and good will of his fellow priests and
of all with whom he came in contact.
No one dreamed that one of his parish
toner's found more favor with him than
another, and the circumstances of their
initial wooing are mystery. 1t is be-
lieved that much of their courtship was
carried on by letters. Even the girls
mother had no suspicion of what was
going on, her first information on the
subject being communicated to her by
her daughter herself few days after
their marriage.
Father O'Handly remained at st.
Mary's until last November, when he
went to help Father Lennon at Brant-
ford. He continued to labor in that field
until few days ago. Absence evidently
famed the fame, and marriage was
agreed upon.
BY arrangement between the two,
Miss Finch-Noyes came to Toronto in
January to visit friends. For the next
few days there was daily exchange Of
love missives. One morning soon after
Father O'Handly also arrived They met
and together drove to the home of a
minister and he performed the oath by

Father O'Handly returned to Brant-
ford few days afterward and resumed
his duties as priest. He was very much
preoccupied in his manner, however
and in day or two relinquished his du.
ties, and Immediately thereafter the
marriage notice appeared

in the back joints and muscles; make your head
ache and back ACHE cause indigestion, stomach
and liver trouble, you get sallow, yellow COM
plexion, make you feel as though you had heart
trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength; get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
