tangled with the nuptials of the newly
welded couple. They attended the
same school when children and grew
up together, forming strong attach
ment- AS they passed from the primary
school, Miss Lane sought higher edu-
cation and Church took up ranching.
Their ways parted and it was not un-
til a week ago that they again met.

renewed and marriage followed inn
mediately.
The couple went south on short trip
