pretended husband, Henry Morasca.

dispelled young girls romantic
dreams.
Just a month ago ON the eve OF
her graduation from the Union school
in her home town, the girl eloped
with the young man and left her wild
owed father, who is one Of the fore
most citizens of the town.
From White River Junction the
couple went TO Beverly where Moras-
ca is alleged to have secured the girl
position as housemaid in the exclu-
siye summer colony, where she had
been guest with one of the best
known families only the summer be-

When, for some reason, Morasca
decided to leave the town, he took the
girl to East Boston, and here again,
she says, he told her that she must
find a position and when she could
not do so at once, the young girl said
that he beat her.
She finally secured a position in
an electric light plant, where she
went to work early in the morning,
while her pretended husband took his
ease at the home of his sister.
In spite of the treatment she re-
ceived at his hands the girl was loyal
to the man she believed to be her
husband until it was proved to her
that Morasca was lavishing his affec-
tons upon another woman. The
Iheartbroken girl remained at her
work because she was afraid TO re-
turn to her father, and even when
she was discovered by John Dowd,
the detective engaged by her father
TO find her, she still endeavored to
save Morasca.
Her elopement took place a month
ago, and during the time since then
