LOVES DREAM
A FAILURE
Pownal Man Escapes Metri

RED BOWS NO MA5C0T.
Went to Williamstown to Mcct his
Bride but Shc Went Rifiht
Along Toward Troy.
Durkncss is responsible for a dls
appointment ln lovo aecordinp; to re
ports from Pownal.
Edgar Rodes of Pownal it wlll bo
reinembered had somo sail exporienco
in Troy a fow months ago, wen the
women ho went down thero to meet,
and wed rofused to hitch after she had
seen him ln tlio depot; but later gnvo
hiin tuonoy enough to pay hls faro
home.
Rodes hns sinco claimed fJiat her
actions that tiine uore lxcause ho
talked to rauch about hls lovo affairs.
In his latest oxperionco which cul
niinated in anothcr disappointuictit he
thought that ho had mnnuged lt, so
that nn newspaper roporters wouhl
lind out anything about it and qniz
him.
Last Thursday aftornoon ho took a
local tralu at Pownal for Williams
town. Later ho was seon walking" up
and down the station platform attraet
inK lnuch attentlon from tlio fact that
on his left arm was a hugo red bow
just above his olbow.
Upon tho arrival of train frora tho
east Mr Hodos ea,rerly scanned cvory
window. He did not geo tho party ho
was lookinf; for and wltli a look of
distrust left tho station.
Pownal peoplo who were on the train
howover let tho matter out. In tho
same ear with sovoral was a lady' who
had pinned on her left arm, a red bow
tho exact counterpart of that worn by
Hhodes.
When sho arrivcd at Williamstown
she wntched out but apparcntly did
not seo the party that sho wns looklnj;
for, so did not loave the car.
Tlio darknoss probably provunted
her dlseovoring tho bow on Hhodos
arm.
He left Williamstown on tlio noxt
train, to follow up the lady, and the
end is not yot.
Tjiose who sav: tho would be brido
learnod that she camo from Water
bury. Sho ls estimated at about 25
years of ago andRood looking.
