PENELOPE'S ELOPEMENT At thirty ono is popuinrly supposed to hnve arrived nt years of discretion, nud to be fairly iu possession of one's faculty of choice. In tho caso of every accepted truth, which liny hnvo become n.ioiiint ic to tiie rest of hu tvnnity, there nro always thoo who reject, or nITect to reject, its teach ings. A very sturdy opponent to the proposition first set down was Mr. l'hinens Paine, a hard headed nnd successful grocer in tho town of Ciirosvillo. Mr. Paine, it is true, did not deny the proposition generally, but ha signified his denial by his con duct toward his daughter, Penelope, w ho had arrived at the ngo mentioned iu single blessedness. If there ever wns a woman iu the cud of the nineteenth century who had causa for complaint on tho score of repression it was Penelope Paine. Her mother had died when she was five years of age, nud her father, pos sessed by the idea th it ho knew how to bring up n child right, hnd imme diately begun the systematic course of repression that made his daughter a demure, timid little girl, and a meek, spiritless woman. He hail kept down nil her youthful joyousness by Mrnight-luod rules of deportment of any natural tendency. People looking nt her would say : 'flint girl looiis ns if sho had been boxed up nil her life." And, iu n measure, she hid been. Rut Penelope, prim ns sho wn, grew to be n fair woman to look nt, nnd, in spite of the dillieulty of ap proach, she had many stealthy admir ers. Tho grocer w as, in his way, n social man. That is, ho liked to have someono to listen while he gave his views nnd opinions, nnd at firt young men would iitV.'ct to be coming to see him. Rut the moment they were so imprudent ns to let it leak out that Penelopu was the real object of their intentions, they wero summarily dis miss) d. "I just won't hnvo it," tho old man would say. "Young folks don't know whnt's good for themselves, and they need tho guidance of some older head to keep 'em out of mischief. Penelope never seemed to enro much about her beaux or the loss of them, till Nod Holborn began going there. Ho kept a feed store and was a brother Odd Fellow w ith tho grocer, so tho old man liked him pretty well. Penelopu was clerking iu tho gro cery, ns sho had boon doing ever since she was old enough to tio up a pack ago of sugar, but sho always left an hour earlier than her father, so ns to be nt home and get his meals for him, for Mr. Puinu's hird hourted frugality forbado his keeping "a girl," albait, ho wns abundantly nble to do so. It was during these happy inter vals of time, when Pjuelopo was en tirely alone, that Xed Holborn was wont to steal a few minutes away from his stoiv, and tine reiuoiiio'lsly drop in for ashor; chat. It was tho first of such pleasure that tho girl hail ever know n, and these stolen moments lnd coiuo to bo inexpressibly sweet to her. Sho knew that her father would not have approved of this intini icy be tween Holborn an! herself, nud for that reason, at first, she took a shy delight iu it For w ith all his re pression tho hard-hearted grocer had not succeeded iu orushing out of his daughter that touch of rum ince which is iu the nature of every worn in. Rut there came a time when there was more than tho roiuautio secrecy of the affair to give it charm. The inti macy hud ripened into love. The young man had placed his honest affec tion in the keoping of the quiet, de mure girl, and she hud given her heart unreservedly in return. As the daya went on the stolen meetings grew sweeter and sweeter to both, and Pnilip Paine measured his pickles aud weighed his pounds in blissful iguoranoe of what was passing. Rut the state of affairs got to the ear of a jealous rival of Holborn, and a word to the nnsuspeoting grooer brought bint up standing. The scale full from hi eyes, Slid shortly after the lovers rere surprised to see 'bun walk into the house iu the midHt of ope of their teto-n-tetes. .Ofconrso thero wns a scene. Tha old iiiii,sUr.niBil and Penel ope, wept, biit staunch Xed Holburn stood up liken man nnd "faced the music," Ho told tlio. old, limn thai- h4 loved his dAitghter,' that his love was rotufned, nud Bhd had pfiimfsod t tt'Pil him, nnd the end of it rill 'Whs Mh dismissal from the house nn 1 ' a peremptory command never to let r. ii. And Philiea i P.iino w n grieve I fur niter all these years of coiitldelicj his his system had proved nt fault. In spite of nil . his repression he found that his daughter wns not well brought tip, and when she had been put to tho test hnd fallen siunnlly; : After this th i oi l man was his daughter's shadow.- He never nllowed her to leave his side. Necessity cheek hinted frugality nnd he hired a house girl to take cue of his furniture and get his me tis. Iu vain poor Holburn sought fur a chance to talk to his saeeth inrt. Hho wns ns effectually shut away from him ns if sho had been immured within tho four wnlls of i convent. Ned gro ined in spirit nnd the grocer chuckle I with iu himself. R it no ono st.itj of nlTiirt inn last forever, least of nil such n strained ono as this. It has been said luforo that Mr. Pniuo was an enthusiastic O Id Fellow, and it was his devotion to the duties of that or ler th it II 1st mndo him relax his vigilance. It was to be a banner night, with the initia tion of sotno ten or n dozen candidate as its leading feature, nn 1 in tut) depths of his innermost soul the old man longed to go. R it prudence said no. Painfully hi argued out with himself. Was his duty to tho lodge less important than his duty to his daughter? Then vi-iions of tho society iu ses sion nnd the frightened candidates came before his eyes. H la i'uo I to himself, for this hardened old tyrant had not lost nil histade for fun. Rut Penelope, passing through tlm room, made him sober ngiin m he thought uf nil tho postiliilitiestir.it might arise from leaving her alone. Then bis apologetic mind said, "Ono night can't do any harm. You cm leave her alone this one time and, utter nil, Ned Holburn will be nt the meeting, too, he'll want to see the nun initia ted." He hesitated nlul was lost mid lifter seeing Penelope securely locked in ho set off lor his lodge. Hut love has won the reputation of laugh itig nt locksmiths and embodied in the person of Ned Holburn lie went knocking nt Penelope's window. (Something iu the character of the tap or home subtle intuition which only love ins;iir ;s, told her who it wo and alio forgot h r timidity enough to raise the h i-.Ii an I opened the shutter a little. "It's mo Ned," said tho migrant maticnl Holburn eagerly, and there was a note of deep pleading in his voice ns ho added - 'It's our only chance, durliug. iriet you lint nud climb out of tho window. I've got a chair hero for you. to get dowu on." Peuelopo went nw.iy from tho win dow for a moment, nud wuen she re turned she had her hat tied on, ami a shawl thrown about her shoulders.. Her heart was beating very swiftly as sho stepped out of thu wiudow on. the chair and into tho arms of her waiting lover. Holburn was a thorough going fellow, and hu had his buggy waiting at tho fence. They got in, ho exultant and. th girl all tremulous, nud away they went across tho river to thu old. minis- tor, who was already fumoua for marry ing runaway couploH from three counties. In tho moantime, tho grocer, net finding Hoilmru, who was a regular aud devoted attendant at the lodge meeting, hud growu uneasy nud sus picions. A va gnu foreboding, which gradually grew into a terrible fear, tilled his mind. When he could en dure this BiiHpeuso no longer, he was excused and started for home. He had hardly entered the yard wheu an open shutter Happing listlessly on its hinges arrested his attention, aud his heart sunk within him. Penelope, he thought,, would never leave a shutter that way under any conditions. The key gave forth a hallow lonesome sound as he turned it in the lock, and the sound of his footsteps ou the floor was altogether too weird aud unusual "Peuelopo, "he called, with a tremb lingvoioe, "Oh, Penelope." Rut only the echoes answered him, and the unweloomed truth forced it' self upon him that Penelope was gone, He went outside, aud, sitting down upon the stop bowed bis head in bis bands. Just then the sound of wheels fell on his ear, and a buggy was driven up aud halted at tbo gate Then a man helped a woman to I alight The grooer reooguized her nud ran down the stops, cryiug: "Pelielope, Penelope, ain't yo4 nshnmed -you've boon riding" Hut here the Voico of Holburn broka in:- "Wo're ninrried," ho snld. "Well, well, Penelope Pnino. 'Holburn," snld Ned, proudly. "I'enolopn," went on tho old liinn, Ignoring his snh-in-hiw, "I would never hnvo thought it of yolt." The girl was silent, frightened and tearful. "An I yn:i, V. j 1 Holburn, to think of yoiib-ingit brother iu tho sumo lodge nud nil of that nnd then playing mo such a trick." "I guess I'm nble to koep a wife," said the young man. "Able to keep her, nble to keep her I That ain't it, it's the way you got her Peuelopo Paine, and after all the rais ing I've been giving you, do you real ize what you huvo done? You've been guilty of eloping eloping, do you lieu l ?" " Unit's nil right, fnthor-iu-lnw," snid Holburn, "Penelope's pnst thirty now, nud she'll soon coma to know her owu mind.
