aggregate mileage of $500. was brought
about by independent orders filed in the

Adams and District Judge David p. DYER.

New Jersey, with claim of $16,000, and

and noticed Grace's inquiry as to what
to do about meeting a young man
against the viii of her parents. Now,
I met a girl about six months ago and
have probably exchanged eight or
ten letters with her since. I called on
her at her home more on business
than anything else supposedly.
! have learned to care for her very
much, but she says she cannot see me
at her home because her parents OBJ
ject do not like to see her secretly
but I sure would rather than 10 miss
seeing her. I know she loves her par
ents very much and they are good to
her. And I realize that it is the wrong

they would not be perfectly willing for
her TO do. OF course I have lived
