by the gallant swain and his fatlhful
maid marrying, the wedding taking
place thousands of miles from the old
home, from whence the young man
departed nearly five years ago, with
the hope strong in ois heart that hs
would one day make Mary Ormandy
his bride. The hope was realized
when the two long separated lovers
were made one at the county clerk's
office at the oourt house yesterday.
Took a Vow.
Five years ago a youth of 26 and
a young English girl at 20 years were
strolling down one of the broad Liv
erpool parks, watching the sun sink
in the west. It was then that the
young man's thoughts were turned In
the direction of the promised land.
"Mary," Baid the youth, "I am going
to America, get a start and send for
you to share my home,"
"Good, Frank, that Is a splendid
idea, but oh, how iong may be the
years before we again meet?"
"Yes, I know," said the youth, "but
we must take a mutual vow now, to ha
faithful to the last."
Leaves for Promised Land.
Within a very short time after this
conversation had taken place, in the
walk-way of a Liverpool park, with
the setting sun then beginning to llg'it
up the promised land, the young mci.n
walked to the gang plank of an out
going vessel tor the United State*.
The young woman was left behind,
waiving a tearful farewell with her
handkerchief, as the ship began to
move away from the young man's na
tive land and all that was dear to him.
His heart was in old England but his
hopes were in the possibilities of
young America,
Late In October, 1907 another ship
left the wharf at Liverpool and a
young woman was on the deck waiv
ing a farewell to friends on the pier.
There were no tears of regret but
tears of Joy as the great ship "Lu
cania,"- turned its prow westward In
the direction taken by her lover five
years before. Only a few days and
the two would meet and Join heart and
hands for life as promised in that Liv
erpool park many years before.
Ollmax la Reached.
The climax of the romance was
reached yesterday when Frank A.
Hatton, aged 31, and Miss Mary Or
