eloped to Gretna Green and tho Irate

pursued tbo wildly rocking

bride's father wns nlwnys bo ready with
that old blunderbuss of his, too, which
somehow or other never did mnnago to
Ihjuro anything at nil, not even the
twittering birds by tho roadside!
The birds In tho old romances were
always Just waking as tho coach nnd
"horses went galloping past. Tho dawn
-Was coming slowly In, and tho whole
' cehe was Intensely romantic, right up
slo tho last mlnuto when the llnal words

Other day tho runaway match of Tluth
Morgan "Waters and tho Prlnco rigriatelll
filled Now York and far beyond with an
Interesting and highly romantic topic of
conversation. Despite tho anger of the
bride's father, manifested by his repeated
denials of their engagement and his,
threat to "run the Prlnco out of iho
country," ho has, In true orthodox fash
ion, now forgiven them both, nnd It Is
presumed that they will live happily ever
after!
The Prlnco claims relationship with
King Alphonso of Spain, and has been In
tho public eye for quite n while, many
sensational Incidents having been con
nected with his name. Ho has been re
ported engaged to vorlous moro or less
prominent and wealthy damsels times
without number, but rumor really has
recounted his last affair correctly this
time.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
Bluey Blackbird Moves
IN tho week that followed Mr. Garden
, Toad's prediction. Tommy Sparrow and
EM? Robin watched tho big oak tree at
Che corner very closely. They saw tho
leaf buds swell and burst. They saw tho
tiny leaves turn .from yellow green to the
beautiful leaf green of spring and all tho
while, ns they watched, they kept a
weather eye on Bluey Blackbird. Not a
single symptom of moving did ho show;
he seemed to bo settled for tho summerl
'All the same,' said Billy faithfully, "I
believe Mr. Garden Toad knew what he
was talking about. I never knew him to
be wrong. Let's hope a whllo longer!"
Bo they watched and hoped and waited
with what patlcnco they could muster.
When the three days of cold rain came
and set back all growing things by Just
that much, Billy nnd Tommy wero almost
discouraged, but finally nfter what seemed
like months of storm, the sun camo out
nnd went to work harder than ever to
make up for lost time.
How everything did grow! Tommy and
. Billy could almost see tho leaves spread
out on that oak tree onu tne spot or
shads under tho tree grew bigger and
blacker every day.
"I should think ho'd move now If he's
going to." said Tommy ono day. He eyed
the garden and Its freshly dug beds with
mournful Interest. What splendid eating
those big fat worms would be. And not
even the rain could mako the alley worms
fat or Juicy thoy had not tho same rich
loam to roam through. "If only we
dared to fight him!"
Dared to fight him!" exclaimed Billy
In disgust, "what good would fighting do?
You know wo would get licked I "What
we want to do Is to wait!"
"'t'a not what I want to do," answered
Tommy, "It's what I have to dot"
And so they waited,
Finally the day came when the shade
of the oak tree was thicker and blacker
than the shade of the pine near the gar-
iden and Billy and Tommy put on cheer
ful grins.
; "l saw Mr. Garden Toad this very morn
ing," cald Hilly joyously, "and when X
asked him about Bluey Blackbird he
wouldn't say a word! He Just croaked,
'Walt and seel Walt and see,' so I'm
sure we'll have the garden to ourselves

LOVE AND
ELOPEMENTS
By Ellen Adair
the Runaway Bride
Tho problem of tho runaway bride Is
always Interesting and nearly always per
plexing, too. I'or, of course, a largo sec
tlon of the community wilt always say
unpleasant and highly uncharitable
things anent the happy couple, mys
teries will be made, and rumors that
probably havo no foundation whatever
will bo circulated. All these things havo
to bo faced by tho young man and wom
an who decide to take things Into their
own hands, and without the consent or
backing of parents nnd relatives malm
tho matrimonial leap In secret and with
out tho usual accompaniment of orango
blossoms, bridesmaids, wedding cake and
Mow procession to the strains of Men
delssohn's March!
Only the other day I heard of fond par
ents who actually persuaded their daugh
ter to elope, and who went m fnr in in
make all tho necessary arrangements tor
the happy couple I "I really cannot ar
ford to glvo you a grand wedding, nnd
tn fare the expense of entertaining a
hundred odd folks In whom nono of us
hnvp Iho sllchtest Interest!" declared the
father In iierenls mot slncete. "And sn,
my denr. tho best thing that you and
John can do Is Just to run ort and get
married iiletly!
"No, your mother and I won't attend the
ceremony, because people mint not guesx
that wo know a thing nbout It. This Is
really much tho best way. And the ar
rangement will pleaso cvorybody, for It
will give tho gossips a glorious chanco
to talk. It will savo your acquaintances
tho cxpcnBO of giving you some prob
ably hideous nnd nulto useless wedding
presents; It will savo you tho fatlguo and
tho worry of a big church wedding nnd
entertainment and, nbovo all, it will savo

oughly eatlslled with my plan!"
And everybody appeared satisfied; that
Is tho curious part of the whole proceed
ing. Tho brldo didn't mind a llttlo noto

Itself to tho runaway match, nut I think
tho bride's mother was a llttlo vexed.
Tho other matrons kept reminding her
of tho wonderful displays mado at their
respcctlvo daughters' nuptials, until tho
dear old lady felt that sho had Indeed
missed tho chanco of a lifetime
But tho person who was most satisfied
of all was tho bridegroom. For men do
hato and detest tho fuss nnd tho display
of a wedding. "Thank heaven, I'm spared
that!" murmured this bridegroom fer
vently to himself.
Tho llttlo brldo sighed contentedly. For
nil that sho wanted out of the whole ar
falr was tho man. And sho had cer
tainly secured him.

If ho Hew away at nil, It was only to re
turn In a mlnuto nnd tn dnrt down so
unexpectedly that no ono could gobblo n
bltp. whllo he was away. And he ate so
many big fnt worms that he grew fatter
every day and erosscr nnd meaner, too,
Billy found to his sorrow!
Tommy was too full to answer!
But on this day when the oak treo was
actually In leaf, lio flew away without
a backward look. Flew off north toward
the oak tree!
Billy called to Tommy nnd together
they watched.
"I think he has gone!" cried Tommy
when they had watched for his return
longer than the usual time.
"Don't bo too sure," replied Billy,
"wait! We'll tly down Into the garden!
That will bring him back It always
doea!" So down Into the garden Hew
Tommy nnd Billy, but no saucy Bluey
Hew at them. "All right then," said
Billy, "let's eat worms. If that don't
bring him back, we'll know he's not com
ing back!"
So Billy and Tommy started eating, and
as no Bluey drove them away, they ate
nnd ate till for once In their lives they
had enough! "This Is living" said Billy,
ns he polished off his bill, but Tommy
was too full to dnawer.

Or keep the Rascals still;
They'd stand upon their Funny Base,
And melt your stubborn will.
No matter how you felt, you'd laugh
To see the way they'd look
Whenever you would walk up close
To watch the pains they took.

The Daily Story
A Mountain Girl's Ruse
Tho last lajs of tho sun softened the
girl's red hair Into n golden halo ns she
Bnt upon tho log, her bnro feet showing
beneath the hem of her cheap print
skirt. On tho log beside her was a sun
bonnel, nnd pressing ngnlnst the sun
honncl was tho helvo of an nx, such ns
only a tery stiong man was accustomed
In wield.
Tho girl was evidently resting nfter
n.ilny nf hnrd Inbor, for deep around
her worn scattered tho still odorous plno
chips, and on tho other side of the log
roio a lingo pile of wood, cut Into two
foot chunks- to tit the regulation llro
plnco or tho mountain log-nnd-mud cabin.
A handsome, powerfully built man hod
coino down the mountain path, barefoot,
and, ns ho seemed to think, unnoticed,
for hn stopped a fow yards away and
rem riled the clrl for somo tlmo with
nn nlr of ndnililng ownership, tit tho
sunlight her linlr was beaiitirui, aim ner
fonu, even III Its delected attitude, wns
graceful nnd pleasing. Tho only nppcar
unco of feminine nriiniiieiitntlon wns a
pitiful attempt nt a rufllo on the sun
bonnet. "iJon't Mum their gawkln" nil day,
Hoke," at lust the girl called pettishly,
but without turning or raising her hend,
"Vim ain't no seared laliblt with ono paw
up. and I ain't no great to look at. How's
nit?"
"Tolerable," anxwered tho man ns he
camo forwaid diocplihly. "But I wa'n't
scared; nn' jiiu needn't sav you ain't
no gtrnl to look nt, Tlrzy, for 't 'talii'l
so I'vo comn ilenr ftimi Hear Lick to
nsk ou what 1 asked last weclt. When
nro on going to mum me?"
Pont Know ns cci," shnitly.
"Hut your ilnddy'H dead," earnestly,
"and wuir rnhln's plumb two miles from
am other. You rnn't llvo lino all by
yourself, Tlusy. 'Taln't proper."
"And why not?" lifting her head de.
flnntlx. "Ain't 1 got a bigger truck
patch than nny man on tho mountain,
nnd ain't I kept It better worked? And
didn't 1 help father build tho cabin,
cutting nnd toting tho logs and mix
ing tho mud myself? And did nny man
on tho mountain over out moro flro
placo wood In ono day than that?" ris
ing suddenly to her feet nnd Hinging out
ono hand toward tho day's work.
Hoko surveyed the wood critically, ap
preclatlugl). "N-iio, I don't ict'knn I ever did SfO
so much cut In ono day, Tirzy," ho
acknowledged, "though I ain't sayln'
but lots of men could if they set out."
"Vcs, that's Jut it," scornfully, "If
they set out. Hut men folks louml
here don't set out tn do nothing but
hunt coons and drink still whisky nnd
smoke corncob pipes. It's the women
who work truck patches and chop
wood and milk cows, and do every
thing else that's sure-enough work.
But what's the use talking?" dropping
her arms again listlessly. "There's no
difference between jou men folks. I
think a heap of you, Hoke, llko t snld
last week. You're big and good nnturcd,
and tho handsomest man round, but all
you've got In the woild is n rlflo nnd four
dogs and a tumble-down cnbln that's
scarcely U to Iivo in, and I'vo heard you
say yourself that you could drink moro
corn whisky than nny man on tho moun
tain nnd not show It. And you go bare
foot, too, Hoke. May bo I'll havo to
marry somebody somo time, but I used
to say when a girl that I'd never marry
a. man who didn't wear shoes."
Hoko looked down nt his feet reflect
ively. "I reckon there's but ono man
on the mountain who wears shoes
steady," ho observed sarcastically. "May
bo he'd marry you If you asked him."
"You mean Ground Hog," Hashed back
tho girl Instantly. "Well, ho asked mo
last Tuesday, and 1 told him llko I did
you, I'd xtudy It over a spell."
Hoko looked at her incredulously for
a moment, then threw back his head
In a roar of luughter, that echoed through
tho forest. "Told-him-you'd-study-It-over,"
ho ejaculated, between his burets
of merriment, "told Ground Hog thnt.
Ho! ho! I'll suro have to let all tho
boys know." Then Instantly ho became
sober. "Why, Tlrzy," he remonstrated,
"It's scandalous! You're tho handsomest
nnd prettiest girl on the mountain nnd
tho best worker. Any mnn would bo glnd
to have you. And he," contemptuously,
"he's Just nn outsldn onstepper, coming
here nnd fencing In land and digging in
tho dirt tbo wholo enduring day, and ha
totes his truck stuff down Into tho vnlley
on his own back and peddles It round.
Huh! Hn couldn't hit a bear 10 foot on
with a shotgun, nnd he don't chew nnd
don't know the tasto nt whisky why, I
'low ono spoonful would set him plumb
crazy. Hut ho does wear . h o c s "
prolonging tho woiil derisively, "and
you're going to study 'bout him."
"Yes, I nm," quietly. "Hi knows how
to work, and ain't senred of It. And up
where ho comes from, women folks don't
milk and cut llreplnco wood up there tho
men folks look out for tho women. It
Ground Hog I mean Mr. Allen marries
me. It won't bo Just because ho alms
to bo more comfortable. But h'sh! hero
he conies now.
A man had emerged suddenly from
the woods nnd wns approaching them
rapidly. Hoko was still standing several
yards away. As tho stranger came to
about tho same distance an Idea seemed
to strike the girl, for she raised her hand
wnrnlngly.
"Don't come nny closer, either of you."
she called. "I was down to Back Creek
yesterday."
"nack Creek!" echoed Hoke, recoiling
a fow steps. "Why, that's where they
have the smallpox, nnd they do say It's
terrible this season everybody catches It
that goes near!"
"Yes, I've heard so," calmly.
"Oh, Tlrzy, how could you?"
Hoke took a few moro Involuntary
backward steps.
"I was obliged to, Hoke. I heard-a girl
I used to know was down there, and I
wanted to And out for sure."
"Well, I'll sea you agin. Tlrzy," Hoke
called from a still greater distance. "And
I hope you won't catch It, but I'm mighty
afraid for you."
"I don't reckon there's much danger,
Hoke," the girl retorted, "for I didn't
go across the creek. I Just called, and a
woman answered that 't wasn't the girl
I knew at all,"
Hoke paused abruptly, and was turning
to come back when something In the
attitude of the two, who were now seated
upon the log, made him grind out a few
words between his teeth and swing sav
agely Into the woods.

AN AFTERNOON GOWN OF
Why She Is Popular
AMONG HER GIRL FRIENDS.
Bccauso Mary Isn't the sort to go rush
ing round making new ncounlntanccs
hero, there and everywhere, with a sort
of surfaco frlondllncsss that means Just
nothing!
Mary hasn't n whole host of gill
friends she has Just a fow nnd those few
rho'U stick to through thick nnd thin.
And she's no fair-weather friend,
either! She'll lnugh with jou and frivol
with you, and enter Into your fun with
nil tho zest In tho world; but when tho
dny comes that your heart feels llko lead,
Mary can meet you with a deep, under
standing sympathy that makes her com
radeship a ram and precious thing.
When that big, black cloud envelops
you sho seems to know by Instinct thijt
jou don't want a lot of fussing nnd
questioning, but tho comfort of feeling
there's' somebody there to confUlo In It
tho trouble Is too heavy to bo borno
alone.
She's so tnctful that sho knows when
ou'd rather bo left to fight It out your
selfwhen not even your closest friend
can help.
And she Isn't ono ot those people who
get "huffy" over all sorts of Imaginary
ullghts!
No; Mary's too sensible, too Inrgc
mluiled for that.
She's always nicely dressed, Is SJnry,
because sho's very quick and clever with
her Angers. All tho same, sho doesn't
iook down on the girl chum who must
often go shnbby because her purse cannot
buv nil tho new tilings from the shops.
No; Mary's "true blue." And that's why
sho's always In demand among her girl
friends.
She Is popular among her elder brother's
pals becauso thcro Is "no nonsense" about
Mary. She loves an outing as much ns
nny girl, but sho doesn't expect every
young man who comes to the house to
"treat" her In return to unlimited dinners
and theatre parties.
But when Mary docs get an unexpected
treat she thoroughly enjoys every minute
of It nnd proves the best of company.
There's something so natural about
Mary that it Is possible to be on the
friendliest terms without any silly flir
tation entering Into the affair at all.
You see, she has too much sense to
think thnt because a young fellow likes
to tnke a pretty girl out for the evening
he must necessarily be In love with her.
But it Isn't only her gaiety and good
comradeship that make Mary's charm
She has that quick understanding and
ready sympathy which biing all the bos
tn pour out their troubles In 'ner ear
when they want u confidante.
She's quite as good a listener as a
talker. Ferhaps she has discovered long
ago that mere man loves to talk about
himself when he can And a sympathetic
ear.
Then she never rrjakes herself conspic
uous In any way, as, for Instance, by
overdressing. She knows by Instinct
that there's nothing a man dislikes mors

Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nlcacan banks of yore,
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea.
The weary, wayworn wanderer bore

l'hv hyacinth hair, thy classic face.
Thy Naiad alnj, have brought me home
To the glory that was Greece
And tho grandeur that was Rome.
