The honeymoon was in its tenth day
when the expected check arrived. The
banks were closed, and the dental drum
mer took the paper to a business man,
who, after glancing at it, paid Young the
$50 called for on the face.

detective Parker was telephoned for.
| Revelations from the hour of Young's
disappearance followed with startling ra
pidity.
A young woman in neighboring town
reported that the drummer had paid hel
violent court and then pawned her gold
watch to buy Miss Parker's wedding ring.
A youthful widow of Burlington de
clared that she had been proposed to by
Young a day or so previous to his mar
riage to the telephone girl. She confessed
that her refusal was intended to be only
temporary, to give her time to recover
from his impetuous love making.
William Parker, father of the bride,
who is painter, recalled that his pros
pective son in-law had tried to have him
cash a check; and the bride herself re-
ported gold watch and So missing.
All of those concerned proceeded to do
their own detective work.
Mrs. Parker took her son-in-law's sup
posed order book to Mount Holly.
No one here could remember purchas-
ing any dental supplies, and one of the
doctors mentioned in the list had been
dead four years. Others had left the
town.
The merchant ascertained that the drum
mer has another wife and child living in
Philadelphia; that his father is dead but
he has mother and sister living. This
sister, according to the merchant, was
called upon to make good check similar
to that which he had cashed.
Detective Parker struck the young
mans trail and found that he often wrote
letters and telegraphed to himself. He
also found that the drummer was not
known at the New York address he gave

tective refused to talk, although he ad-
mitted that Young's operations were more
wide reaching than anyone supposed, one
of his favorite games being to represent
himself as wealthy horse owner.
Mrs. Young said she knows of three
other names which her husband made use
of-Clinton Bughler, Clifford Wallace and
j. c. Blake
"The first two," she said, ''were his
Philadelphia aliases. The name under
which he married me was his New York

The variety of aliases has confused his
