Young Westinghouse and Miss

visit to this country, was inspecting
the big Westinghouse plant at Pitts
burg. While she was there she saw a
Big, good looking young mechanic
working over a lathe with other men
whose clothes were covered with grease
ana CRIME. she asked MIN lew QuoS-
tons about the place and both were so
impressed that the acquaintance was
continued until they both realized they |
we're hopelessly in love.
After the charming English girl had
promised to be his wife, the young
told her who he really
was. For time she was bit piqued,
but the differences were finally settled.
Then came the panic, during which the
Westinghouse, like everybody else,
suffered reverses and again came the
rumor that the affair had been called
off, this time because the young man
did not want to hold the young lady
under these conditions. Then young
fell ill and for a time his
life was despaired Of After his recov-
cry the vows were renewed, this time,
from all appearances, to last forever.
