his wife out the other. They have
not seen each other since.

too big a verdict to the heart
broken young woman?
In this matter-of-fact twentieth
century, love is not priceless.
1t is not even worth $4,000.
1t has been so decided by jul
dicial decree, by Judge A. w.
Frater of Seattle.
he says it is worth but $l2,-

BY what subtle scales the jul
dicial mind was enabled to weigh
the value of love and determine
the jury awarded just twice what

layman pretend to understand.
Judge Frater today puts up
this proposition to the young

of $4,000 instead of the jury
verdict of $4,000, he will not
grant her father-in-law a new
trial.
If she insists on the $4,000,
there will be a new trial to go
through.
Under the law, judge has the
right to make such a condition.
