IN DETROIT

BY STACY z. BAKER

copyright. 1910. by Associated Literary Press
The marriage of Marie Norfield and
Anthony Morton, scheduled for early
June. was suddenly broken off by the
girl without word of explanation.
AS for Anthony. he was too proud
to ask for one. The two drifted
apart.
Morton consoled himself with the

black, and the dark-eyed maid who
had been his fiancee showed a de-

youth who had occupied niche in
the young woman's affections some
time before Anthony had gained her
consent for an early marriage.
The curious of Drakeville-and there
were many of them-found little to
gossip about in the attitude of either.
Each was cordial to the other, and at
the little parties given weekly by their
set danced occasionally together.
Wayne Haskell was brilliant
youth with an enviable future before
him. He was a young M. D., just
from college, but popular.
Anthony Morton was an architect,
and while Drakeville's need of archl-
tects was limited, the sandy-haired
young fellow with the determined
take-life-seriously air, managed to
make more than a comfortable living.
