1t seems, however, that the elder
Eberley did not take kindly to this
plan as he had others and what he
thought more alluring arrangements

was none other than that she should
become the bride of a New York
man who is 40 ars of age and has
some 100000 or more with which he
could buy the young girl luxuries and

Gold and jewels did not count when
weighed in the balance with her

the bride Of the elder man.
Things came to climax day be-
