WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER t, 1907. THE MORNING ASTOMAN ASTOR1& OREGON. A Breach of Coiifideiicie (OrlBliml.l Why her fathr and mother didn't five her the name of Mcphlatophelln intend of Jnquellne I can't Imagine. They certainly would have done no had they known bow alio wan to turn ont An it In, nobody ever call her anything but Jack, and In epeaklng of her to those who have never eoeu or known her one necesHarlly convey the Idea that he Im a boy not only a Iwy, hut n boy of tho womt kind. The way the ha treated tne and her Muter certainly dcnerveN ft hundred Inulm, and 1 would like to bo tho fel low to lay them on. I have always bwn taught to connidcr one who would 'betray a confidence a wortto than a thief. Jack betrayed our confidence lu tho moot unuliwhtog manner. It all happened only yeiiterday, and pcrhnp I'm not In n condition to look upon her act with charity. I hope I'll never come Into a frame of mind to exenxo her abominable treachery. It wan thin way:' Mr. Merrynmn wanted bit daughter-hut eldest daugh ter, Ilnrrlot-to marry somo bin gun. Ho had no objection to mo other than that I wa neither prenldent, member of the cabinet nor one of the Justice of tho United State supreme court Harriet had tried to got hie consent to marry me, but he always put ber off by eaylng, "What do you want to mar ry a man for who couldn't even net a email rivulet afire, let alone a river?" Then Harriet would expatiate on my good KenMo,- good heart and n good many other thing that blagun don't generally posses, eKpeclitlly the good heart for they are usually diabolically eolflxh. nut her father only laughed t ber. How wo ever camo to tako Jack Into our confidence when we came to an agreement to eloe I don't ktiow. Har riet thought alio couldn't wako her preparation without Jack' kuowlug of them, but I rather put It down to tho fact that he nuiHt tell Rome one. At any rate, he told her. Jack clap ped her hand, and her eye glistened with glee. An elopement! How ro mantlet Just too lovely for anything! Rhe'd help ua all sho could, and, a for keeping the aecret, It would tie burled away down In ber gulleleNN heart. , We didn't need anything especially elaborate-no rope ladder, fast team, and all that We concluded Just to board a train, go up tho road Rome thirty mlh? to where a former family dominie, Mr. Strickland, lived and get him to marry u. Wo would go In the morning, take the afternoon train back and be forglvon In tlino for dinner. Of course I engaged the parson for a pectfled day and hour. Jack woa In tensely Interested In It all and made us livelier everyjjetajl, projnlRlng to pre- pnre tier ptrtfiM; "MfT MS Mr7 M6Try. twin, for what wa to come, o that It wouldnH ho much of a shock, ' Harriet met me In the open square near the station. She was trembling all over, but 1 reasmirod her. To avoid observation we went to where thd fore most car would stand on the track when tho train came In. We got away on time and had the satisfaction to bo In a car that wa nearly empty. Tho train stopped at tho next station on the road a mile beyond. There the door opened, and I beard a familiar girl' voice say: "Come In here. There' lot of room in to! car." I turned with a rubadub heart to ace whom do you suppose? Jack beckon ing tot her father and mothor, who were mounting to tbe car platform. There they all three bustled Into tho car we were In, Jack exclaiming: "Goodness gracious, If there Isn't IIat! And, 1 declare, Ben tool Where In the world are you two going?" Tho astonishment of the father and mother wo very much overdone. It didn't deceive either of u. I glanced at Jack and avoided mocting the eye of tho parent. Mr. Merrynmn seemed overjoyed that our parties should have met on what be called an Improvised excursion, ne asked me where we were going, and It wa no use to lie, for my ticket would give me away. So 1 told him. and he wa delighted that we were all going to tbe same place. Of the two halve of the party one wa Jubilant, tbe other mad and mor tified. We were obliged to spend an hour and a half in this way before reaching our destination. There we all got out, and Jack proposed a stroll. 8ho walked with her father, while her mother walked with us. Tho little villain led the way to the parsonage, stopped before tho door and proposed a call on the parson. Without waiting for consent, she rang tbe bell, and w all went In. Tbe parson was expecting us, but since I had told him we would be nlono he wa n trifle surprised, "Ttils would lie a good time for you and Hat to get spliced," said Jack to me.1 1 The dominie got his. book and waited for us to take position. What conld we do? I didn't know what Mr. Mer rymnn was going to do, but since he made no move I took Harriet before the clergyman, and wo were marrle-'. Mr. and Mrs. Merrynmn came up. give me n hand and embraced their daugh ter. Harriet dldn'T know whether to burst Into tenrs at having had her con fldence so abused or to rejoice flint she did not have-to go back and ask her points' for'ivenos. When Mr. MrVyman put n check for SlO.ooo in her band. Joy triumphed. We took the afternoon train back, reaching home In time for a h-ity meal. afffr which our most Intlmat" friends came injuring In for a wedding reception. They bad been Invited pre viously.
