 less plains of the far northwest, all the while carrying with him tiny snap shot photograph as his only clew, he has found her.
 Better yet he has married her. They recently sailed on a transatlantic steamer for the French capital. The living. smiling woman has replaced the snapshot in Dupree's glad heart, and he Is proud and happy beyond words at the wonderful end of an almost hopeless search.
 The girl was Miss Constance Mo quard Leaning. The artist found her at last in the doorway of her fathers ranch house outside of the little town of Wolf. in Wyoming. just oSsr the border line of Montana among the Big Horn mountains. Two Philadelphians who had scoffed with every one else when Dupree's story became known in Philadelphia three months ago were the means to bis end-the well known lawyers Joseph P. Rogers and John R.

 A week later he again encountered the tourists. They were at a drinking on one of the boulevaris in the city's suburbs. This time Duprce had a camera.
