 To Desert at Altar
 A working man, who was helping the girl obtain the mythical fortune of Walter Crawford mythical Ameri- can millionaire, by agreeing to mar ry her, and leave her at the church door, thus complying with the terms of the will, brought downfall and po- lice investigation.
 AS the daughter of Harry Thaw, Masie Crawford had moved through many English towns, finding welcome and easy money from some of the hardest listed folk of the British islands.
 Despite the fact that she is slender, of childish figure, with a slight hump on her back and small features, she was able, by brilliant conversational gifts and a bearing that spoka ''class" at every minute to win instant belief no matter how fictitious her life" happened to be at the moment.
