Leavitt, the brides former hus-

The assertion that Leavitt was
asked by Mr.. Bryan to marry Ruth
is so baseless as to be unworthy
of reply. Leavitt, in fact, invaded
the Bryan home and courted the
impetuous girl of II over the re-
peated protests of her parents:

The speaker evidently knew
what he was talking about
when he faced "cupid" Bishop
at the marriage license counter
in the county auditors office
today.
Mr.. Bishop looked at the man
then he glanced at the fraiI
piece Of feminine humanity that
stood by his side.
"Where Is the bride-to.be?"
queried the man who renders
first aid In the matrimonial lot
terry.
The look that the man who
applied for the license cast up
on Mr.. Bishop was whitening in
its intensity.
"Thar stands the future Mrs.
Blank" he said, pointing to the
little girl who had shrunk back
against one Of the counters.
"Must have consent Of one or
both parents" said the dis.
penser OF conjugaI permits.
There was no use arguing the
case and the license that might
have been issued early in the
day was still in the book at
noon.
