This Is u story of u dream that
came true.
L'sually, you know, dream a eith
er come true at once or fade nnd
die.
But thin one kept on beckoning
for S3 - years before Its misty
shapes became solid and real.
This story Is about a man who
loved a woman.
lie loved her when they were
young nnd straight and comely
when life, like tho year, . was
In FpttiiRtime.
And 3 y e u is later, when they
were old and K'ay haired and
bent, he still loved her. . And this
time she uecepted him.
Dr. Newton Uolilday Is 71. He
has Juat married Mrs. J''iunc'H
A Keneraiion uni more ago she
lived in Keokuk, la. There Dr.
MloJIiday paid hla court and there
his brother. Dr. At. J. Iloltlday,
paid cquit uno.
The hrotheis were partners In
their medical practice, but Ihey
found Ihcmselves rivals lor the
young woman's hand.
Dr. M, J. llolliduy is four years
older than his brother. And h
was the one w ho found favor In
the irlrl'a eves

And tlK'n l he years brought
many changes.
I he rejected miltor met ether
women and felt In love uguln. Jle,
too. was married.
Ills wife died, and In the course
of time he married again. This
marriage, too, was ended by
death.
So U looked as If the romance
of his younger days was to remain
only a hazy, 1ml 1st Inet memory.
But tin elder brother the man
who had triumphed In t he race
for the gli I's hand found the
years bringing Ht range happen
ings, also.
Fourteen yearn after the mar
riage lie and his wife found tiny
were not quite suited fo one an
other. There wan a divorce.

Hurely the old romance was
dead now. During the next tw o
