ELOPEMENT ba T Is no use in talking, Madge, your father will never consent to our marriage. and there is nothing left for us but to elope. “Elope!” exclaimed the girl, in a frightened tone. “Oh, Leonard, we; never could do that Why, we would have to have a balcony and rope lad- ders, roses and things like that, and it is winter time ™ “You little goose,” began the young man, as he pinched her already rosy cheek, “we would have a modern, up- to-date clopement. See, there is my machine out there at the curb now.!| Why can't you put on your wraps and | Jet me drive you over to Rev. Mr. Fourthly's and have all this worry over with? | got the license this morning.” Madge patted the floor with ome tiny foot and her brow was puckered into a mass of little wrinkles “But it will make all Oak Park talk,” she began, “and we can't have any wedding and bridesmaids and flowers and presents and things.” “Never mind, dearie, we can have each other, and that is better Come along and I'll go out and give the chauffeur directions as to how to reach Rev. Mr. Fourthly's house. Hurry up, my dear, for Jour father might come home any time, and you know your mother ma arrive from the city at any moment and spoil our little scheme.” The young man gave the proper di rections to his chauffeur, and it was aot long before Madge came down the steps, a little bit frightened and nervy ous, but still looking like a picture with her flashing eyes, her rosy cheeks and plumes and all Just as they drove away from the house the girl turned and saw her father coming down the street in his new racing machine. She gave a Mt- tle scream and cried: “Look, Leon ard!” He looked, and with that he com- manded the chauffeur to drive as fast as ever he could. Mr. Neversmith alighted from hls machine and hurried into the house “Where's Mrs. Neversmith?” he asked of Maggie, the maid. “She's gone to town, sir,” sald the maid. “Where is Madge? he asked this time. “l—I—1 dunno, sir,” was the reply. “Didn't she leave any word when ‘phe went away?” he began. sternly “No, sir, but | did hear her and her young man talking about eloping, sir.” *Eloping!” jerked out Mr. Never smith. “Do you meanto say that she Bas run away with that worthless young Doolittle? Anawer me. Did she go away with that young man?’ “Yes, sir; 1 think so, sir. [| heard them talking about going away to Mr. Pourthly’s, and they went away to gether. They left the house just be fore you came in.” By this time Mr, Neversmith had reached the front door. He glared at the mald as though it had been her fault that the young folks had started to elope. “I will catch them, and it will be the worse for them, too, mind you that. You should have ‘phoned me when you heard them plotting to run away. | could wring their necks, and yours, too,” he said, as he shook his fist in the direction of the maid and Jumped into his machine. *Do you know the Doolittle chauf- four?’ Neversmith asked his driver, “Yis, sor,’ came the reply. “Well, | want to overtake them. Head the machine toward Rev. Mr. Fourthly’s and speed it up to the Umit” The machine gave a sudden lurch forward and then stopped as sud: denly. And then there was a delay. In the meantime the fleeing couple bad not made much headway. Some- | thing had gone wrong with the auto mobile and while the young man and bis chauffeur were both trying to fix ft Madge looked back and saw her ‘Sather start after them. “Oh, Leonard, he's coming,- he Is coming.” she began, “and he'll never lat me see you again. Ob, | wish we hadn't started. He is driving his ma- chine like mad, and I know he Is fu rious.” “At this Leonard stepped Into the machine to lake a look at the pur suing father, and as he did so he gave “His machine js stuck, too, and I'll bet the air Is blue for a block around At that juncture an automobile cage up slongside the one In which they were, and there wers purprised “Most certainly [ do” replied the minister. “It is too bad that yow machine broke down” “Mr. Fourthly don’t you think thal you could marry us right here in thd machine?” asked Doolittle, sheepishly “We have the license” i “Well, it might be done” hesitated! the minister, “but, of course, it woud be altogether unusual.” “We don't mindgthat, Mr. Fourthly,” “1 rather] You ses! chine and you in that ome, and the two chauffeurs could be witnesses 0 would be a novel wedding, and so long as | can't have a big church wedding] with lots of Sowers and things, | don't care what kind of a ceremony it ia” “But your father.” thoughtfully be gan Mr. Fourthly “Well, of course, we expected him but if his machine has broken down It may take him some time to fix it, and 1 don't think we'd better walt” sald “No, let's don't wait for papa.” ex claimed the girl, “for when his ma-| chine breaks down he gets awfully ex cited and he would not be in a state t« witness a wedding With that the young people took thelr positions and in the fewest words possible the minister pronounced them husband and wife. The final woni¢ had scarcely left his mouth when Mr Neversmith plunged his machine alongside and shouted furiously “Madge Neversmith— further, for the smiling sald, mockingly “Madge Doolittle, if you please, Mr Neversmith. ™ ‘Yes, papa,” chimed the bride We are married. You can ask Mr. Fourth iy We were on the way to his house when the old machine broke down and but he got no bridegroom PRONOUNCED THEM MAN AND WIFE providentially he found us here, and we didn't wait for you, for we feared you would be late” Neversmith looked at the minister fnquiringly and saw at once that he bad arrived too late “So that is the reason you did not care to walt for your father?” began the minister, as he took In at a glance the situation. “Forgive us, Mr Fourthly,” began the girl, and, turning to her father, she went on: “and you. too, father.
