Look up some of your old sweethearts and try to yet one of them to marry you, wouldn't you? Well, that is just what Dick Graham did, but unfortunately, he found that all his old sweethearts were married and that their husband's objected to being shoved to one side. As a last resort, he advertised, and, as luck would have it, his ''ad" was read by pretty Grace Lenox, whose mother was very ill; in fact, so ill that the doctor had said that only a change of climate would save her life. Dick's "ad" offered five hundred dollars to any young lady who would marry him, with the further stipulation that they separate immediately after the wedding ceremony. Grace, in desperation, answered this "ad" under the assumed name of Mary Smith, and in due time the marriage took place. She got the five hundred dollars, was enabled to take her mother away and Dick saved his fortune. At their wedding, however, Grace wore a heavy veil and Dick had a six months' growth of hair on his face, so that when they met some time afterward they failed to recognize each other, and it was not until they had fallen in love and were in despair over the fact that they were married that they discovered they were married to each other. How did they make this discovery? Why, it was very simple. The ring used at the marriage had been Dick's mother's, and when Grace lost it Dick found it, and by the inscription in it he understood.
