"Ditto!" said Don Ricardo de la

Parda, to whom little Theresa was
betrothed by her parents when she
was just a baby. Don Miguel was
referring to Lieutenant Clark.
Also he endorsed Don Vincente's
sentiments right down to the hair

And so Estelle Theresa, having
her own share of spunk and being
very much in love, took her own
affairs into her own pretty little
hands and married her soldier
lover without taking her relatives
into her confidence at all.
Now Dan Cupid, always very
much of a schemer, is also very

and the soldier were married at

There is a cozy little nest on
Puget Sound now, and in spite of
the threats of old Don Vincente
that he will fight to have the mar
