A CHASE

Mrs. Grentorlx was a stupmothon
Not all stepmothers, uny more than
ull mothers-in-law, nrc bud, but Mrs.
Greatorlx was at least avaricious.
She hail no children of her own, but a
stepdaughter. Moreover, the husband
nnd father had died, leaving $100,000
to his widow nnd $200,000 to his
daughter, Alice.
Alice was fifteen years old when
her father died and, having no other
home, remained with her stepmother.
Sho feared her father's widow and
would have been glad to get away
from her, but she was too young to
lay plans for such n purpose.
There was a clause in the Greatorlx
will that If Alice was not married by
the time sho was eighteen $50,000 of
her fortune was to go to her step
mother. If she had no children at
Iweuly-flve another $50,000 was to go
to her stepmother. Why Mr, Greatorlx
threw such a temptation in the way
of his wife to keep his daughter un
married does not appear. The most
probable solution Is that It was the
result of a compromise that the wife
was claiming more and finally got
this stipulation out of him.
Unfortunately for the stepmother's
plans Alice must go to school. At the
high school when sho was seventeen
she met n youth of eighteen, and be
tween them there sprang up an at
tachment. Iloger Ashurst called oc
casionally on Alice, but It didn't take
him long to discover that ho was ob
noxious to the stepmother. Opposi
tion is an excellent incentive to love,
and Roger as soon as he left tho high
school and went into business began
to lay plans to possess the girl he
found so much difficulty in courting.
Besides, Alice had told him of the
whys and wherefores of tho case, and
ho saw plainly ,that in order to help
Alice be must obtain the legal rights
of a husband.
As tho girl approached tho age of
eighteen her stepmother began to
watch her very closely so closely, in
deed, that she was unable to communi
cate with her lover, Mrs. Greatorlx
intercepting all her letters. Two weeks
before Alice's eighteenth birthday she
was locked up In her room. But one
night as she was going to bed, hear
ing shot thrown against her window,
she opened it, and a stone was thrown
in to which was attached a note from
Koger stating that he would watch
for her aunt to go out and when she
did he would enter the house and take
her away.
A couple of days after this Alice was
not especially surprised at her bed
room door being kicked open, and there
stood Roger. Hastily putting on her
hat and wraps, she went with him
downstairs, got into an automobile
and was starting when Mrs. Greatorlx
appeared, hurrying home.
A garage was located around the cor
ner, nnd thither the stepmother ran,
hired an auto and made chase. Tho
fugitives had taken a broad avenue
which was tho most feasible outlet,
and into this avenue Mrs. Greatorlx
ordered her chauffeur to proceed. Sho
saw tho auto In which her daughter
was eloping she recognized it by Its
color just turning into a side street.
For several minutes It was lost to her,
but on turning Into the side street she
herself caught sight of It trying to pass
a cab that stood in the way. While
she looked the auto chugged past the
hack and darted on at full pace.
When Mrs. Greatorlx reached the
.vehicle that had blocked tho way her
chauffeur endeavored to pass it on the
right, but at the moment the hack
swerved to that side of the narrow
street. The chauffeur moved to the
left, and the hack also turned to that
side.
"Run him down!" cried Mrs. Great
orlx. "lie's In league with tho elopers."
But when the chauffeur tried again
to make a passage the hack drew out
of the way and let him pass. Tho pur
suing auto soou turned into another
avenue, and Mrs. Greatorlx, looking
first in one direction, then iu the other,
saw the fugitive auto moving south
ward. "There it is!" she cried. "Put on nil
your power."
They followed the auto twenty miles
Into the country, when it stopped sud
denly. "Now's your chance," sho said to
her chauffeur. "Don't let them get
away."
But tho chauffeur was obliged to
Blow up for tho reason that the driver
of the other machine got out to fix
something. When Mrs. Greatorlx
pulled up beside him ho was working
with a monkey wrench. Ills auto was
empty.
Mrs. Greatorlx was so mad that sho
abused tho fellow for leading her on
a wild gooso chase, no looked at her
innocently, apparently not knowing
what she was talking about. Then,
not waiting for a rejoinder, she order
ed her chauffeur to turn about and go
back to tho city.
Meanwhile tho lovers had been mar
ried. Mrs. Greatorlx never knew their
method of escape. Ashurst had not
counted on her returning so soon. Ex
pecting that sho would follow, be di
rected his chauffeur to turn Into a
side street and, seeing a hack stand
ing by the curb, he got Alice out of
tho nuto and Into tho hack only a mo
ment before her stepmother turned
into the street nnd offered the driver
a ten dollar bill to drive him wherever
he wished to go. When tho pursuing
auto came up he ordered tho driver to
itnnd in its way In order to throw the
pursuers off tho track.
i A COLLEGE GIRL'S DAY.
She breakfasts on a pickle,
, And then the custom Is
j To go and spend a nickel
i Upon a glass of llzz.
! Along about ten-thirty
I She nreds some solid fare
I And goes with Grace nnd Gertie
j To purchase an eclair.
I At twelve on pie she lunches,
And through the afternoon
! From time to time sho munches
1 A dainty macaroon.
Her pocketbook she'll pillage
j At dusk and gayly trudge
1 To purchase in the village
j Ingredients for fudge.
! At night, with loosened tresses,
i It Is her dearest wish
To cook up awful dishes
' Upon the chafing dish.
1 And when she's done with brewing
, And nil the house Is dumb
' Sho goes to bed still chewing
. Her little wad of gum.

all due to simple food. Why, gents,
