The object of this suit is to

suit; that children were born
of said marriage, namely, Bar
bara Ann Huston, Nancy Jane
Huston, Charles Richard Huston
and Rebecca Alice Huston, all in
fants, and now living with the
defendant in w. Va. aforesaid;
that though the conduct of the
plaintiff toward his wife has al
ways been kind, affectionate and
above reproach, said wife has
without just cause or reason
abandoned and deserted him and
declared her intention to live with
him no longer, that such aban-
donment has continued uninter-
ruptedly for at least Is months
and is deliberate and final and
separation of the parties is beyond
any reasonable expectation of re-
Cancellation. The bill prays for
