laws existing i'll the state of West
Virginia affecting persons under

provides that the granting of pen

SEEKING DIVORCE. :
That letter promises to be a big
factor in later proceedings. Mrs.
sanborn announced to the re-
porter that she would institute
suit for divorce as soon as she
arranged matters with her uncle.
She intimated that her grounds
would be nonsupport, cruel and
abusive treatment and kindred al
legations.
She said reconciliation was out

BRIDE vANISHES.
The young couple sped away to
Florida on a motor honeymoon
and it was said that the generous
purse Of w. Robert sanborn paid
the expenses en- route. and even
supplied the automobile in which
they drove. Two weeks after the
wedding. Jack wrote to him from
the South:
II am the. happiest boy on
earth and am married to the
finest. sweetest, purest girl in
the world. I shall never be able
to repay you Tor what you have
done for Eleanor"
But a month later, Jack and
Eleanor returned, and after a.
visit to winchester, the home of
his parents, and the Buckminster,
where the brides uncle lived.
Eleanor disappeared and Jack
went back to his mother.
LULL BEFORE STORM.
Mrs. Edward Montgomery, the
brides mother. at the Puritan
Hotel, refused to talk about her
daughters disappearance. DR..
Montgomery, Eleanor's father, ad-
mitted frankly that he knew
nothing about the girl, though
he said he had been seeking her.
The Sanborns maintained an abb
solute silence for several days.
John p. Feeny, Of the sanborn
legal staff. hinted that It was a
mere lovers quarrel and that the
young couple might be reunited
by a sort Of compromise. But
what was to be compromised and
why there was any necessity for
such a formality. remained untold.
Rumors began to spread that the
