there would be grades entering and

He was bound by an agreement never to marry until he had accomplished a task he and his old tutor started to wind up. He loved a beautiful girl and she loved him. He broke under the strain of the pact and the work of his discovery and she rushed to his bedside to nurse him back to health. There was but one answer She must sac rifice convention and live with him sans marriage vows or see him fail She went to his arms without marriage like Spartan martyr and then the story took queer twist, for she was the daughter of churchman and reformer, and society cast this beauti- ful woman out.

Ralph Grittman. the sixteen months old son of Mir. and, Mrs. Jess Grittman of Six Points, is dead as the result of an automobile accident that occurred at five o'clock Tuesday afternoon
 The few months old baby was struck by the fender of a car driven by H. w. Strangman, when the driver backed the machine from the curb. Neither he nor J. NJ. Kyes his com panion saw the child until after he had been struck. Doctors Couch and Bai- ley were called at once and although every effort was made to save the lit tie one, he died of a hemorrhage two hours after the arrival of the physi- cians
 At the inquest held in Coroner De- Souza's court yesterday there was but one eye witness to the tragedy to tes- tlfy. The witness was the five and a half year old son of H. E. Raby who was fifty feet away from the car. The child said that Ralph was ten steps behind the car when it started to back.
 Mrs. Grittman had noticed the baby with her just a short time before the accident and it is the general beliee that the kiddie must have crawled in- to the path of the machine after it had started to move The jury returned a verdict of accidental death caused by an automobile
