sided in Garrett County, Maryland.
until on or about the 9Th day of
August, 1897; that although the
conduct of the plaintiff towards his
wife, the said Airline Ruth Lee, was
always kind, affectionate and above
reproach, the said Airline Ruth Lee.
without any just cause or reason,
abandoned and deserted him on or
about the said 9Th day Of August.
1887, and such abandonment has con-
tinued uninterruptedly for more than
eighteen months, to-wit: from said
9Th day of August, 1887, to the pres
ent time, and is deliberate and final.
and the separation Of the parties be-
yond any reasonable expectation Of
reconciliation; that the said defendant

cause; that there were no children
born of this marriage; that the plain
tiff is resident of Garrett County,
Maryland but the defendant is non
resident of the State of Maryland.
and when last heard from was resid-
ing in the State of Rhode Island.
The bill then prays for a decree of
divorce a vinculo matrimonii of the
plaintiff from the defendant, for gen.
eral relief, and for an order Of publ
cation.
1t is thereupon this 18th day of No
vember, 1914, by the Circuit Court for

and substance of this bill, warning
her to be and appear in this Court, in

Both day of December, 1914; to show
cause, if any she has, why the decree
should not be passed as prayed.

The rolling stream Of life rolls on
But still the vacant chair
Recalls the love, the voice, the smile,
Of the one who once sat there.
IT'S only a grave but it still needs
care,
For the one loved is sleeping there
God loved him too and thought it best
To take him home with Him to rest.
Those beautiful memories you left be-

Will linger forever in my mind.
