Clergyman Marries a Tieket-Seller.

FROM rhesan Frsneisco Chronicles jane ISL
Fhe Rev. Horati0 Stebbins realizes BY
this time the truth Of the S-hakesperean
sentiment, Move laughs at lock-
smiths.pr If lie DOESN'T Il Is not the
fault of his charming daughter, Miss
Mary Louise. About two years ago this
Young ledy net her fate in the person Of
.aE0ungmlan named Schroeder. He was
. very TOung- mau@nOt Ove twenty
and canned bis living by selling tickets
ut the Pavilion Skating Rink.
He lOoked ont Of the little ticket win
dow and his ewes fell upon Miss Mary.
She looked in al the little ticket window,
and her eyes fell upon him. Tableau-
biushes, mutual starts, and finally love.
An acquaintance was D formed, and
the children fairly Teveled in their new
born attachment. For a short time
young Schroeder called on the Young
lady az her fathers house, but finally
the good Doctors mental nOstrils were
assahea by the OdOr Of a ~long-tailed
mice, and he mildly suggested that he
I tlOught the SteDbins visiting circle was
already large enough without the addi-
u0ff 81 Mr.. SchrOder. IN short, be told
the young lady she M no longer re-
. ceiye his attentions. He said she was
I entirely too young to think Of marriage,
and besides Mr.. Schroeder would not be
ibis choice for q sOn-in-law.
4 Miss Mary then met her lover clan
Gestinsiy. She would go 70 the SkatiI 3
Rink daily. and wait for SCHROEDER to get
tnrough his duties, when they would
skate fOqather for hours. They were
I constantly together when away from
I the parental eye, and had no thought
Z outside Of their own happiness. Finnal-
tly Mr.. Steh5ins dispaired Of breakingUp
the intimacy except BY sending the
Young lady away for q time. lie made
arrangements to place her in school in
Germany, in the hope that absence
would conquer the love he had 50 long
endeavoTed to dispel.
Size was to start for New York on the
sixth Of June. On the fifth she asked
permission TO 90 and see some friends 10
bid them gOOd-by. She went out, met
SCHROEDER, and thu two quietly vent "
TO san LeandrO, got a license and were
married. Schroeder brought his bride
back tOthe city, and she returned To her
fathers house. NeXtmOrning she start
ed in company with her aunt-Miss
Fisher-Or New York, IN route for Eu-
rope. a few days after this, some busy
body happened to see the entry Of the
marriage in the San LeandrO records,
and fastened as fast as his legs could
carry him. to inform DR.. Stebbins. To
say that the outraged parent was sur
.prised and shocked, hardly expresses it.
He vas frantic. He went TO S~chrOders
place Of business, the London and a
Francisco bank, 10 interview that gen
tlemam without q moments delay and
there learned the truth. "Well," said
the good Doctor, "if that is the case, I
must telegraph Miss Fisher to return"
'rAnd what about May2' asked the
self-impOsed sOn-in-law. "Well, sir
said the Doctor, tsince she is your wife,
my advice 70 you is to look after her.
TOu VIII find her In New York." and
with that he turned-On his heel and left
the bank. He then telegTaphed Miss
Fisher at New York not to sail for Eu-
rope until she heard from him, and a
letter is now on the way. 1t is said that
the letter contains q brief note 70 the
young lady, denO,Rs.Hg her for her I'M
fliaI conduct, ami informing her that
hencefOrth she mUstlOOk to her husband
for protection. In short, 1t is said, the
Doctor disOwns mis- daughter forever.
The youthful bride is very beautiful,
has, or had, q host of friends, and will
probably make Young Schroeder supreme
ly happy. He, like her, is very young,
but has good habits and has q fair start
in life. Let us hope that the good Doc
tors wrath viii soon subside, and all yet
be peace between him and his children.
