BAsil Harris0n'S Romantic Marriage
At the age of 10, Basil Harrison, the
late Michigan centenarian, formed ro.
mantle attachment for Martha Stillwell,
the daughter of farmer living in the
neighborhood Of his home at Grcencas-
tie, Pa. The feeling was reciprocated,
and, after short courtship, Basil asked
the consent of the girls parents to the
marriage. The father favored the
match, but the mother had higher as
pirations for her daughter, wishing her
to wed the possessor Of broad acres,
and refused to consent. This decision
deeply grieved the young lovers, but
Martha's father, irritated, no doubt, by
the obstinacy of his wife, revived their
spirits by planning an elopement. The
simple wedding trousseau was mostly
made BY stealth in Martha's own room
st night. with the assistance Of her sis.
ter, who was also in the secret. But
there was one difficulty they
had not anticipated. Martha had
no shoes, and even the
etiquette Of those times would not per-
nit = bride to appear At her wedding in
bare feet. Ready made shoes were un.
known in the town, and Martha's would
have to BE- made to measure. Dame
Stillwell became somewhat sus spicious,
snd the conspirators had to proceed
cautiously! Many plans tsiled, but the
day before that set for the wedding,
further delay being out of tho question,
Martha father adopted ! successful

the room where his wife = ind

just been wounded by desperate.
"Hc's likely young fellow said
the messenger, sand Rob shot him
down without mercy. He don't live
hyar, but comes down occasionally
lookin' after some gal, I b'ieve."
The crowd in the bar.room drew back
as the doctor entered, and he saw a
figure stretched out on the counter.
He's got to pass in his checks this
time, Doc,'' said = man who leaned
over the bar. "Just open his jacket,
will yer, and see where Black Rob's
lead visited 'im.''
With hands already accustomed to
the touch of blood, Alt. Wood drew
aside the gray jacket, and saw the
sghastliest Of wounds in the right breast.
Then he looked At the victims face.
He WAS young man about his own
age, and quite handsome. He was un-
conscious, IS well, and breathed heavily.
The pulse heralded speedy death, and
when the doctor looked up, it was to
shake his head.

"We've got to blindfold you, Doc, :"
said the fellow who had first accosted
him. ''Don't refuse to submit. We
want to treat you gentlemanly, and for
our own good at. the same time; but if
you become troublesome, self-willed on
our hands, why, Deadman's Gulch may
have dead doctor dye see q
The voice possessed a familiar sound,
and while rough hands blindfolded him,
the young doctor tried to recall it.
But at last he gave it up in despair,
and then his thoughts recurred to
Black Rob's victim and then the letter.
He could think Of nothing else as
the band bore him over the rough road
which he knew led to the Ozark Noun
tains. That he was in the hands OF
the mountain brigands who for year
or so had been terror to the] ]settlers,
he Also felt assured, and thought that
it was their chief who needed medical
aid. But he rested easy on this score.
He knew that the bandits intention
was not to harm him; that If he did
his duty they would return him to his
little Office again.
