sacrificed his only chance for happl-

had restrained himself from propos-

For two weeks John stayed at the
bedside of his father, without uny 9TH

him. At last the crisis was reached and
the danger passed. From then on John
devoted himself to the farm-the great
big stretch Of Gods country that called

not forgotten. II was for her he was
working. Some day, somehow. he

TO BEWARE OF ELOPER

BALTIMORE, May 5.---knowing that
she eloped when she was only a girl,
Mrs. Dora z. Wann, Waverly, has
notified the authorities OF s dozen
towns near Baltimore, warning them
that her son is under age and for
bidding them to issue a marriage
license to him.
Mrs. wsnn recently became suspi-
cious that her son was about to
marry. The clipping habit seems to
run in the family. for besides her own
hasty marriage, Mrs. Wann's brother
fed from home when only nineteen
years old and took a bride.
According to Charles Melvin Wann,
the eighteen-yesr-o son, and also
the young woman involved, they have
no thought of marrying at this time
Both declared that such an event
might occur some time in the future
but not now. Wann is employed as a
