So when a pretty miss of little more han twenty years entered his office and in a very business like manner dec'ared that she has come for her marriage license, her fiance not' telng able to get off until Thanksgiving , Day, Squire Munden gasped for breath and wondered if he had been .working too hard and suddenly gone "dippy." Miss Rosa E. Noble of Norfolk continued to smile sweetly, however and to 'say that It was alright and the groom would appear at the proper time Thursday. She had merely ' been afraid that a license could not be secured on Thanksgiv ing Day snd had taken time by the forelock. ' ' s The license was duly made' out and transferred to the hands of the dainty suffragette and the wedding took plnce next day shortly after the arrival of tbe one o'clock train. Mi8 Noble met her fiance, Mr. Jer ry Carlon of Norfolk at the train and escorted him, to the residence of Mr. Munden on Selden street and . there the ceremony wa per formed by the Squire, who offered his very , warm congratulations . to the groom and sa,1 "You've got, a bravei little woman,".

Sllngsby as their son so he could claim the Yorkshire estate. , They produced from a San Francisco newspaper what they c'aimed was an advertisement placed therein by Mrs Sllngsby advertising for a new born baby. When th Probate and Divorce court decided against, the .two bro thers they took their case to' the Court of Appeals which, on March 14, 191 reversed the P. and D,. court and declared Teddy not the son of th CI H. R. Sllngsby and not entitled tp the estate Justice Bargrave Deans of the P and D. had decided In favor of Teddy largely becas he had a pe culiar shaped jaw like his father's an, an oddly formed ear, like his mother's. The court of Appeals evl dently did' net think that way. The C. H. R. Sllngsbys then ap pealed to the. House of Lords, which granted a stay until today be cause; of the appellants' lack of funds.
