then went to Waukegan. ILL.,, where
we were married by justice of the

ised me we would be married by a

"Our life since we married has been
wonderful. / believe Tom would have
told me about all this before. but he
was afraid OF losing my confidence"
The girl burst into tears.
This is his first time In trouble" ;"
she sobbed "I know he wouldn't be
here except for the influence of Jack"
