There’s a strong morning freshness
to this story that carries you along

protect her from a like tragedy, rear-

When the prospective husband proved
impossible, Bryn stepped in as a sub-
stitute, ostensibly for the $50,000 he
was offered. The young man’s gallant
struggle to win his shy but proud
young wife makes a tale you'll long
