The text OF a unique little romance has

Tracing n BOnB-LOst Lover
So wrapped in her love for young lieu
tenant that she refused year after year
to believe he had killed himself, despite
seeming strong proofs Of suicide, after
her fathers displeasure had driven her
sweetheart away, the daughter OF
wealthy German-American Of New YORK
City carried her fidelity to the point where
she refused to become the wife of a rich
suffer. That constancy In the face or
family influences had it's reward when the
girl now in Paris. read the news that she
had OWNED aright-that the man she
loved was living.
He is Lieutenant Albrecht Becker,
brother OF Baroness Won Haskell Of
Munich, and formerly one Of the most
popular young army officers in Dresden.
He is working as a timekeeper on the
Florida keys extension Of the East Coast
railway.
The news was brought to New York City
by George Schneider, an engineer en-
ployed on that railroad enterprise. He
communicated the good tidings to AdolpA
Kaufman Of the Kaufman Manufacturing
company, Manhattan, who, as the repre-
sentative of Baron and Baroness Won
Haskell in this country. has been prosecut-
ing an unremitting and tireless search for
the missing man.
Lieutenant Becker disappeared from
New York City Ave or six years ago. Even
though circumstantial stories had come
from Chicago that the lieutenant had
committed suicide there, his family, like
the loving girl, never had abandoned hope.
II is intimated that IL Becker should re-
turn TO Europe there might be a wedding,
and the bride would be the daughter Of
the prominent man, whose dislike had
so much to do with constraining the lieu
tenant to disappear.

afternoon OF the I'VE weeks test and that
she hoped Kearns would win.
Kearns was quiet and his face was Arm.

There was no response and Miss Butler
continued to swim, although her wet gar

brought the yacht up closer and repeated
his question.
