TRICKS OF BOGUS SOLDIERS

that women are often vctimzed A par ticularly sad case was brought to the notice of>the writer a few days ago. One o these impostors secured an introduc- tior to the younger daughter of we'll known family. who was so much at tracted to him that she was ultimately persuaded to agree to a secret marriage.
 Fortunately for the girl, the police got on the track of the impostor. and he was laid by the heels before the secret mar riage could be completed. The shock to the girl. however. was so great that she has since been very Ill, but needless to say, is thankful that the swind!er waa discovered in time.
