A son was born te ment but also a costly new home "Tru-Trg Again," Motte for Millionaire Rancher Nothing loath, after his four fail ures, the indomitable bridegroom cleared decks for action again. Ne ene suspected that he anil Ann were mere than just friendly. The fam ilies have known each ether for mere than half a century. Their intercsts have never clashed, Guy is the eldest son of Tem Wng Wng eoner, whose fertune la rated nt $.50,0(10,000 te $75,000,000. Though their ranches have been miles apart. Tem has always been something of the pietege of Captain Burk Burnett, who knew nnd admired him in the old days when Burk and old Grand father Pan had built the foundation of their later wealth. Burk, grand father of Ann, who died only last June, bequeathed nothing te his son Tem, rich in his own right, but left his entire estate of $20,000,000 te his beautiful granddaughter. Whether old Captain Burk Burnett hoped that the two fnmilies should be linked together in marriage, he was never known te have expressed that wish. But it is possib'le thnt in his day dreams he saw his lovely granddaughter and some grandson of eltl Dan's riding together down the moonlight. Ne doubt he even saw little children, carrying in their veins the rich bleed of the two pioneer families, little children who might even call him "irrnndnd" for didn't he expect te live for years nnd ycaraT y. !-& m mm The his sturdv seventy 1 itnsmar, H year, as In IW3 tlfts red until But no one had any inkling of these dreams.

Then it was that the marriage rumor spread. As fast as these reports reached cither of the families they were emphatically denied.
