The congratulations of all lovers
will go out to Baron Axel Won Taras
and his wife, who have just been mar
ried in Stockholm, having been plight
ed for full thirty years before circurn-
stances allowed wedding. The bar
Oness was Heli& GyllstrOnA. Thirty
years ago she was one of the leading
actresses of the Swedish capital. The
baron, for his part. was = daShing
young Of1cer, with taste for the
drama. They crossed each others
first sight They became secretly en-
gagged and then came the task of per-
suading the baron's parents that the
actress was suitable to enter the
aristocratic household 1t was NO
easy matter and there was. really no
surprise at the time that the parents
refused. But the couple still saw q

in the outskirts Of. Stockholm. Then
one day there were rumors that the
baron had had an accident while rid

planned until some short time later,
when there was a second effort to
persuade the parents in favor OF the
actress. She it was, who by pluck
and good hoTssmaRship, had pulled

the spirited young woman took 1t
much more to heart than in the first
instance. 1t was thought that this
was final veto. Two days later she
left the city without leaving the least
trace of where she was going. For a
time there were fears for the baron's
sanity, as the shock of the departure,
coming so soon. after the refusal of
the parents, had been too much for
him. Then after six years of living
like a hermit, who promised to be-
come misanthrope, his parents died
rather Unexpectedly within a short
time of each other. The road at last
was clear, If only the fugitive could be
found. Not sign OF her existence
had been received in Stockholm since
her departure; but that did not daunt
her lover. He crossed to America,
Having borrowed q name. But Amer

baron went further, and explored the
Pacific. At last he found the actress,
now gray-haired, using ano her name,
playing in a theater in Melbourne. Al
