bride The marriage date was first set
for early last week but the bridegroom
wasn't able to come Then on Satur-
day night the guests were invited and
all was in readiness when the absence
of the bridegroom made a wedding
rather i'm possible. The young man
was reached over the telephone and
said he was too busy saturday to come
to his wedding, but was coming and
would be there surely for Monday
night He was then living at a horeI
in western Kansas.
Monday night came, the expectant
bride was dressed in her wedding
clothes, the guests assemble the min
lister arrived. but the bridegroom did
not. The bride, who, by the way,
is one of the very best girls in Topeka,
still had confidence in the man who
had disappointed her, and thought he
would arrive, better late than never,
but he did not come at all and hasn't
been heard from since.
Even Served Refreshments
Refreshments were served to the
guests who had assembled but all was
in gloom and finally those who had
come for the affair departed in sorrow.
The man in the case is no longer an
