the differences between his client and
her onc-time hancc had been adjusted
out of court.
The dismissal Of the suit does not
mean. however. that the wedding bells
are to chime upon the next return of
Captain Greene from the Orient. or
even at any future time ON the con-
trary, the breach has not been healed.
Miss MaCfarlane has simply given
M the attempt to obtain a rctraction
of some OF the things which the cap-
tain said about her, which was the
avowed object Of her suit to begin
with, while the captain has withdrawn
his declared intention Of giving her
all the battle she wants"
when captain Greene last sailed for
the orient, just after the filing of the
suit In January, he explained that his
Courtship and broken engagement had
cost him good many dollars and no
little worry, hut. like a good loser, he
added that he had kissed the dollars
good bye and had survived the worry.
It was only in connection with the
suit for an additional little sum Of
$4,000 that his lighting blood was
aroused and that he announced his in
tcntiun to do battle.
In the settlement which was CON
cludcd yesterday there Is no room lcft
for any doubt that those dollars which
the captain 50 anectiOnately parted
with are to remain In the undisputcd
possession Of his bride that never was.
Under the terms OF the agreement,
Miss Macfarane Is given full title to
the automobile which the captain had
registered In her name II short time
before the date set for the wedding.

to obtain an extended leave and depart
at once with his bride on world
girdling honeymoon.
on Friday, October Is, the captain
and Miss Macfarlane obtained their
marriage license, but there WAS no mar
riagc the following day, and few days
later the captain sailed away. At first
1t was announced that the expected
leave Of absence had been denied and
that the marriage would he postponed
but the secret could not he kept and
by the time the Chiyo Maru was ready
to depart charges and counter charges
were being hurled back and forth.
The trouble did not end with the
verbal skirmish, however. on the oc-
casion of Captain Greene's next re-
turn to this port he was greeted with
the suit for damages. Miss Macfar.
