silss Hattle Cowper, daughter of a
farmer, bad arrived at the age of
thirty-five, and no one, not even her
mother, bad sus(ected her of romance,
She bad cooked aud washed and baked

dresses and seemed content Even
when Zed Green, hired man to her fa

asked her to be his'n she bad success
fully concealed any evidence tbat it
was other than the humdrum program
of existence and had replied tbat she
guessed she would have him, and that
settled the matter for awhile. Zed
dldu't want to marry for a year or
two, and Hattle was content. At least
no one suspected ber of discontent
and yet romance was fairly bubbling
In her soul. She wanted to be abduct
ed; she wanted to elope; she wauted
to be lost In the sugar bush and found
by a cavalier. :
She kept hoping and expecting aud
sewing carpet rags and helping her
mother make pickled Illy, and time ran
on, and oue evening Zed aunouueed
that be was ready to marry. Then an
Idea came to ber like a flash of light
ning, and after turning It over In her
mind for five minutes she answered:
"Zed, I will never, never marry you
unless we bare some romance about
It"
"Do you mean going to the circus or

"No, I don't I mean tbat 1 don't
propose to stand up In the parlor aud
be married by a Justice of the peace."
"Well, what do you want?"
"I want to run away to get mar

when everybody's willing."
"But I do. 1 want folks to have
something to talk about and I want
something to think of afterward."
"I'm willing to do all 1 can, Hattle.

"All right I never eloped, but I

Zete Jenks, a native of Missouri, at
twenty years of age lost bis father
and gained thereby a farm. Not find
ing the state big enough for him, he
sold his farm and went to Texas,
where he invested the proceeds In oil
territory, of which the Octopus OU
company kindly relieved him for a
consideration. Zeke took the consid
eration to New fork, where he became
a great stock and cotton speculator
and by the time he was thirty waa
worth so many millions that he didn't
kuow what to do with them.
Meanwhile Zeke, having determined
to see something beside his own coun
try, went to London, where he kept
bouse in flue style. Having made the
acquaintance of several impecunious
noblemen who gave him Introductions
(for consideration), it was not long be
fore be found himself a member of the
celebrated smart set headed by the
king of England. Certain profes
sions! beauties of the British capi
tal, without stopping to consider the
origin of his accumulations, proceeded
to lay plans to transfer as much of
them as possible to themselves. A few
preliminary efforts In the way of mod
erate amounts were so successful as to
encourage tbein to strike for something
higher. i

years before her mother bad been so

unfavorably uotlced by some of the
puritanical families of England. Lady
Arabella had Inherited a number of
splendid Jewels and when she wished
to crush a rising rival would put them
all on at some aristocratic function.
But unfortunately, the beauty's ex
penditures being greater than her In
come, she was obliged now and again
to sacrifice a gem, and at the time
Zeke Jenks appeared on the London
social stage she had reached a pout
where her stock of jewels needed re
plenishing. Indeed, without certain
additions ber supremacy was In, dan
ger. She was among the first to (ake
up "that unique American, Mr. Jenks,"
who by this time was the talk of the
town. F"thermore, a rival had ap
