Love Finds the Way.
In October, 1905, a young but capable
inferno at st. Joseph's hospital took a
beautiful young woman by the hand,
as it were, and led her out of the val.
ley of the shadow. They were strang-
ers then, and his only interest IN the
case was to save to the world so prom

Tomorrow morning the young man,

VOWS are sealed.
Bride a Laramie Girl.
He is DR.. l.. j. Welton, whose Of
fees are in the Empire building. The
brlde-to-be is now Miss Birdie Mckay
of Laramie, Wyo., where she is the
social favorite of the younger set and
counted the most beautiful woman in
that section.
A coincidence in dates had much to
do with this romance that started in a
hospital and is to progress to the mar
riage altar tomorrow. On October 81,
1874, DR.. Weldon was placed on the
operating table at ST. Joseph's hospi-
tai under the care of DR.. Leonard
Freeman, to be operated on for ap-
pendicitis. His case vas aggravated
and he barely recovered.
Beauty in Unconscious State.
On October 81, 1905, one year later
to the day, DR.. Weldon was summoned
to the same room by DR.. Freeman.
On the same table he had occupied
was a young so beautiful, even
in her unconscious state, that he could
not but express his admiration to the
waiting surgeon he was to assist. And
the fact that it was the anniversary of
his own operation impressed itself
strongly upon his mind.
1t was a desperate case, but the
young inferno made up his mind that
ing and constant attention would save
her.
Love Continued to Grow.
AS the dogs went by and the beauti-
full patient continued to improve and
| grow stronger, the inferno ventured to
solicit the privilege of giving his per
sonal attention to the case. DR.. Free
man was quick to discern the shadowy
form of Dan Cupid behind the request
and readily granted it.
Miss Mckay has many friends and
admirers in Denver's social set. She
| spent her convalescent days the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Mason of 1914
Lafayette. The Masons happened to
be friends of the young physician. The
end was inevitable and the story has
ended as happily as it is possible for
a love story to end.
Death Caused Postponement.
Miss Mckay is one of two daughters
| of Alexander Mckay, a wealthy miner
and stockman of Laramie. The death
of Mrs. Mckay a year ago caused a
postponement of the nuptial plans of
the daughter who becomes the wife of
DR.. Weldon at the Laramie family
home tomorrow.
DR.. Weldon enjoys a flourishing and
lucrative practice in Denver and is
popular in his profession as well as in
social circles. He has arranged an
artistic love cote for his bride of the
