Can’t Lose ’Em.

After 25 years a wandering suitor has returned to claim his affianced of a quarter of a century ago. The day before the couple were to have been married the young man was ordered, west for his health. He went to California and for a time continued his, correspondence, but'through changes in address the correspondence ceased. Seven years ago the young lady went to live with the family of a wealthy real estate man in Jamaica. Recently she has been morose and told her unhappiness was due to her continued single blessedness. She then decided to tell her story to a newspaper and the account of her long wait,, for the wandering suitor, along with the information that she had saved considerable money, brought forth many applications for her favor. One who chanced to read it was her old “flame.” He sought out his former sweetheart, a few minutes sufficed to revive the youthful pangs and arrangements were quickly made for the wedding. Now, this all sounds romantic enough for us, but what we want to know is whether it was the news of his sweetheart’s or her wherewithal that made the wandering lover “come back.” Can. anybody tell?
