him was shaken; and then, all at
once, his letters ceased, and she
could get no replies to her own.
She found that he had left the place
where he had resided without one
word to her Of regret or of expla-
nation.
The elderly lover persevered and
fawned and lattered, and pleaded
with eloquent lips; the mother be-
sought her, with tears in her eyes, to
save them from want and shame;
and at last, after weary struggle,
the wretched despairing girl yielded
to her destiny and became the bride
of one old enough to be her father.
AS a wife and daughter she had
done her duty as well as she could,

was leading, Until that memorable
hour of weakness and woe. And

long months that she had been cruel

The fear Of losing her, and the

had thenceforth lived better and
happier life. He 3equeathed to her
his entire fortune as a small recon-

caused her.

another land than ours, to meet the

Twice within a week she was kid

was infatuated with her.
The woman is extremely pretty and
well developed for her age. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Wicks.
who have one of the largest farms in
the vicinity of Huntington.
The first time the woman was kid
mapped she was taken away by W men
while the husband was held at the
point Of a revolver. Two arrests have
been made and the men have been
identified by her husband as the same
two who kidnapped his bride.
On October 10 Merriongola arrived at
the Wicks house, but was told that his
wife had not been there as yet. He
waited several hours, and when she
did not show up started for his house.
He was about 100 yards away from 1t
when he heard his wife screaming and
saw her rush from the cottage and
start down the road, pursued by two
men.
The husband raj forward and Mrs.
Merriongola threw herself in his arms.
The two men who were pursuing her,
however, laughed at the man when he
threatened vengeance and knocked him
unconscious.
The young woman had tainted, and
when Merriongola recovered his senses
his wife nor the two men were
