Young was arrested and placed in
Jail on the charge Of stealing the car.

and to retract its legs beneath the
shell, In order to become invulnerable.

by man who peddles wares in the
streets of Picking.
At the time Of the betrothal the
families of both the man and the
girl were equally well off. Later the
mans family lost its fortune, and he
became a street peddler, while the
girls father became high and
wealthy official in one Of the gov

Not long ago the heress passed the
peddler's pitch while driving in her
rickshaw, and he recognized her as
his betrothed.
lIastening to her home TO claim his
promised bride, he found that her
father had atlianced her to a rich man,
and preparations for the wedding were
. IN progress. He has now sued the
government official for breach Of
promise, ana it remains for the court
to decide whether poverty constitutes
sufficient cause for the annulment Of
