YOUNG WIFE ELopES
With Former Lover After Three
Weeks Married Life-Two
Homes Now Made Sad.

Sitting in his lonely home in the
land of the stranger, Felix Rizzo, the
fruit dealer, laments the departure |
of his handsome wife who deserted |
him, ere the honeymoon was over.
The little place he had so carefully
prepared for her has lost its charm,
the home is desolate as the pride of
his heart has departed and left him
loved.
Five weeks ago In the town of
Hillsboro, Felix Rizzo was married to
Miss Rose Cardobiloto, a handsome
Italian lady, the daughter of respec-
table and well-to.do merchant of
Highland county. The wedding cere-
monies we're continued through some
days and many were the congratula-
tions showered on Felix In winning
the popular belle of the society in
which she lived and moved
They came to this city to reside and
the handsome brunette Immediately
captivated those with whom she asso.
ciated. She was of kind and gentle
disposition, lovely character and
made friends of all who met her.
Felix too was popular and the future
seemed bright for two young hearts
entering: on the uncertain sea of
matrimonial bliss, when silently a
phantom ship carried away the bride.
Two weeks ago the fair lady would
visit her parents among the hills of
Highland county, and Felix ever SUBJ
servient to her wishes, placed the kiss
upon her cheek, bade her farewell
and freely consented TO her having a
few days visit In the old home around
which ever ciings tender memories.
Little did he think that it was the
last kiss. But so it has proven.
The days dragged on, but no letter
came from the little town on which
Felix's thoughts we're now fixed. He
wrote to the wife, but no ans
wer from her. Only word from the
anxious parents that Rose was not
there nor had she been heard of in
the community.
Relatives In other parts of the state,
a sister at Lebanon, we're Immediate
ly apprized of the absence of the
missing bride, bu. no clue to her des-
tination could be discovered. Poor
Felix, his heart is broken. he rea-
Lies that former lover is the cause
of all his woe. The wife has eloped.
The demure and gentle brunette of
handsome face and retiring disposition
is perhaps on the high seas enroute to
land where she will never confront
Felix, but where with her first and
early lover she will continue the
journey of life.
l Felix Rizzo is one of the leading
business men in Middletown, honora-
: BILE, upright and Industrious. He has
the confidence and good will of the
community. He takes the matter
e philosophically, remarking that Rose
7 did wrong only in not informing him
that though she gave him her hand
In marriage, her heart was unalterably
anothers. Under such circumstance
e he would have had the fair girl gC
/ her way, nor stood between her and
her happiness to cast shadow ovei
two homes made sorrowful by recen,
I events. Felix is resigned. While hi,
heart lie burdened with sorrow, he hal
no harsh word for the wife who sG
cruelty deserted him, but continues tc
conduct his fruit stand in the old his

even now, If che who Is still the lido
