was Informed of it by a Times reporter.
The groom had perfected his arrange

Carrying. Mr. Cranor was a wel
comed visitor to the home until It was
learned that his intentions were ser

forbidding him enteriog his yard.
That law baa been in effect for some
time and Cranor has made biniself
scarce. But love usually finds a way
in matters of this sort, as the result
shows. ‘Sunday night, while the old
people were asleep, Mis- Irene left
