twenty-five years ago the New
Yorker who possessed an annual in
come of $4,000 lived in his own house
and kept Il carriage. The New Yorker
of to-day with only $4,000 a year
hunts an apartment for the mere rent
of which he expects to pay not less
than $500, and he cannot afford n
carriage. The trouble is that on the
island of Manhattan there is not room
for its millions to live in the old-fash-
toned way, and the cost of living has
increased enormously.
They must suspend their dwellings
high above the ground, every foot of

Throughout the correspondence the
two old people remembered each other
as they were i'll their young days ana
from their photographs. Neither pic
tured the other as Old-thcy were again
the sweethearts of their youth. And
then it was arranged that they should
be married. Mrs. MOir, siXty-three
years old, started West to meet her fu-
ture husband. Reaching Omaha, she
received two kilograms, one that he
was very sick, and as she was prepar-

came saying that he was dead. The

STORY OF An OLD LOVE.
The Romantic History ofTwo Sweet
hearts of the Long Ago Who Dis
covered Lach Other Only to
be Separated.

The echo of an old Virginia romance
comes from Omaha, where Mrs. Leila
Moir, of Lynchburg, Va, has been pros
trated over the news that the sweet
heart of her youth, whom she has not
seen for half Il century, but to whom
she was Ell route to be married, had
died suddenly, where the marriage was
TO nave taken place upon her arrival.
Before the war, down in Lynchburg,
Va, Leila Saunders was one of the
bellies, while Charlie Clay was one of
the best matches" in the country. The
TWO had been Sweethearts from their
childhood and were engaged to be mar
ried. But u lovers quarrel occurred
and young Clay went West and never
wrote home.
In 1862, Miss Saunders married her
husband leaving the following day for
the war, and three months later his
dead body was brought home.
Husband Was a Mason.
But her husband had been a Mason,
and last February the Lynchburg Ma
sonic lodge was asked by the Elmo
lodge of Washington State to furnish
information concerning Miss Leila
Saunders. Shortly after, Mrs. Moir re-
ceived letter from the friend of her
childhood. Charlie Clay.
He told of his wanderings through
the West and his final settlement in the
State of Washington, where fortune
had favored him with great financial
success. He had married raised
family and had finally lost his wife.
But he had kept the memory of his
Virginia SwcethcHrt-hiS first lovc-and
