DECREASE IN WEDDINGS
SHOWN BY RECORDS IN FREMONT
COUNTY,.
Marriage Licenses Drop Steadily in
Number for Decade, but Pretty
Girls Increase.
,eslern Nrwspnper Itnlon NnMs SerNIne.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Canon City. Colo.-Records OF the
office of the county clerk here show a
gradual falling off in the number OF
marriage licenses issued in Fremont
county during the last twenty years,
but whether the decline is due to the
increasing high cost of living or to
some other cause is not known.
During the decade preceding 1904,
the average number of marriage Ii
censes granted yearly i'll this county
was III. In the ten years since then
the average has fallen to l6S, al
though there has been since then a
material growth in the population Of
the county.
Thus far this year only seventy-one
marriage licenses have been issued
and 1914 threatens to set new low
mark. The marriage license figures
for this county for the last ten years
follow:
1905, 1876; 1906, 1874; 1907, 1GS; 1908,
2i9; 1909, 1877; 1910. 1877; 1911, $50;
1872, 1G3; 1913. 100; 1914, II.
The number of attractive girls in

CHAPTER M.
Tho kohInur's Charterer,

Is It to be wondered at that for the
rest of the night Tom remained in
state OF such feyerish excitement that
he forgot to sleep? Here, In the most
amazing manner imaginable, he and
the Girl once more were thrown to-
gether-and, too. under circumstances
that not only promised the most de-
lightful sort of intimacy. but were not
likely soon to be terminated An un-
wonted light shone in his eyes. and his
tanned jaw settled into lines OF deter
mination that were not without de-
gree of grimness.
What's the use!" he morosely
growled. She'll have nothing to do
with me. l made seventeen different
kinds of fool of myself Monday night
when she got me out OF that dark
room. Unless she realizes
that scrape like that is enough to
turn any fellows head"
And this led him to Illuminating on
the strangeness OF his adventure. and
to consideration of the rest OF the
party. which he INDUCED briefly only
because he remembered how inexplic-
ably their doings had become identi-
fed with Miss Carews disappearance
for undoubtedly they were the same
people who had inhabited Number 1913
and how greatly Ruddy was inter
ested in their movements. This refiec-
tion sobered him completely.
Should he not at once notify Mr.
Flint? Did the allegiance he had only
today assumed outweigh the obliga-
tions of a lifelong friendship?
tie too much for Tom to decide on
hand, and he began to be conscious of
vague. growing sense OF doubt and
mlsgiying. He began to perceive the
possibility of future complications that
would keep him fioundering helplessly
in all sorts of predicaments: either in
terference or non-interferenCe by him
might be the occasion for any amount
of future regret and lasting remorse
| and mental suffering. but he had ar
rived at the decision before turning
in. that, considering everything, he
should be filled with n sense of graft
tude for the fortuitous chance that
had moved him to call on BrownIow.
Captain Phiuney was again astir
long before sunrise. He took it upon
! himself to see that the decks had such
