famiys by falling in love with the beau
tiful daughter Of Hungarian mauufac-
turer, and for more than a year a strug-
gle has been going on between the young

be contracted. Unfortunately, papa was
rather helpless in the matter, because he
had already done what his son desired to
do-marred the woman of his choice--so

be forgiven.

and win also inherit the great wealth
of her father. whose only child she is.
Perhaps that accounts for the sudden for

its favor.
