the time. She agreed, however, to
come out to Hawthorne and live at
my home until such time as we
could be married out there. She
came out the day after Easter of
this year. | approached her va

kept putting it off. AT the time

friends. but ! do not know them, or

How she got away with my dogs
during the absence of myself and
family shows one of the neatest
pieces of work of any professional.
There were men accomplices, and
everything was pre-arranged days
