lif ruitrso the break reacted on the
lovera. They refused to lie bound by
!t. hut the outlook was gloomy.
The ex-Judge salil to Ills daughter
wIiimi the mutter wns brought up:
1 always liked Waller, but I tblnk
vou hud best tall this matter off and
have done with It. You can't exiecf
to umrry a son of lay enemy and
lake any comfort. Who la the Hon.
Samuel Morton. I'd like to know, to
iliinl; himself the only man In this
district to represent It In the house?
Think of the Impudence of it!"
And when Walter came home from
college nnd spoke of his marriage as If
the break had nothing to do with the
lovers the honorable, his father, was
prompt to any:
Kdlth Is n nice girl and a sweet girl,
but she must unva luherlted more or
less of her father's disposition, lie wns
insolent to me, my Imv Insolent to
your rnlhcr! Afler due thought 1 be
lieve you will give Kdllh up."
After due thought Walter decided
not to do any such thing. He wns not
prohibited from calling, though all the
family except Kdlth kept out of the
way. .lust how or when things would
mend was worrying the brains of the
I lovers not a little w hen the puzzle wns
! IIou. Morton Invited his son Into the
library to say to hlin:-
"Walter, you do not saent to have
given Hdllh up yetV"
"No. sir." w-as the linn reply.
"I'm sure you can never get the con
sent of the Judge."
"We shall wait nnd hone."
"Cm! I don't know but what I have
a better plan. I have nothing against
the girl, but 1 would like to get square
with her father. I'm sure that he's
waiting to refuse you her hand. It
was Just such a case when 1 married
your mother, and what did 1 do? Got
her to elope with me."
"nut. father, yon don't mean'
But
you would be willing to urave my
wrath by consenting to nu eloH
menfi" "I Just hinted something like that.
papa, iou know I could not come
rljiht out and say so.
"No. you couldu't. How did he take
It?"
He he said he was also ready to
rlfcive the wrath of Ills father."
"C.ood! I trust the Hon. Samuel
Morton will get a Jar some of these
flue mornings. If you are getting a lot
of new garments together, nnd 1 think
you are, you may ueed several new
trunk-a .towr order them. When nark
ed tell William to drive them to the I
depot for you. If I were in Walter's
place I believe I should make the tour
of Europe. Ills father will make n
grent howl over the things, and It
will take several weeks for hlin to get
his breath back. Vou might kiss me
now. Edith, as I'm a rather sound
sleeper, you know. And here's a check
for $1,000. It's a birthday present or
something of that sort."
The lovers had decided that there
was uo cause for grent haste about the
elopement, but It finally came off ac
cording to schedule. A visit was first
paid to the house of a minister who
had been seen In the afternoon, and
after the twain had been made one
they rode to the depot in a closed car
riage and were off.
No enraged nnd bloodthirsty pnrents
pursued, nor wns the telegraph ap
pealed to to stop thorn nt all hazards.
The newly wed tried their hardest to
feel scared and heroic by turns, but
it was n rather tame affair.
At breakfast next morning It wns
announced in one house that Walter
was gone nnd In the other that Edith
could uot be found. Two mothers shed
tears and two fathers chuckled. An
hour later the two fathers met on the
street. They stopped to eye each oth
er, and after a moment the Hon. Sam
uel Morton chuckled:
WelL Waller has got her In spite of
rou r
"No. sir no. slrl" chuckled the
Judse. "She has got Walter In spite of
you :
itut I knew they were going to
elope!"
"And I knew the same!"
And after that whnt could two sen
sible men and fathers do lint shake
hands, bridge the chasm nnd forward
a Joint' telegram of congratulations?

The superintendent of the stage
