A Kansas City NIother-in.Law Van
QuiShed.

Capt. Ed. H. Webster of Kansas City,
young but successful real estate and in
Surance agent, after two years Of married
life, went back to his old bachelors room
one day last spring, while his wife went
back to her mother The latter had made
the marriage and unmade it, so the stoyr
runs, as told by the correspondent of the
Chicago 1imps. At any rate scandal fol.
lowed Edward IN such lively way as to
indicate mother-in-law or some other
greatly interested party at the bottom of
it. He was accused of seducing a young
lady, the daughter of wholesale grocer,
and that was given as the reason
why his wife left him. Then
1t was told that the two
brothers Of the grocer's daughter would
horsewhip him if he didn't leave the
town. But Ed. didn' leave, the bro.h.
ers had no disposition to horsewhip him,
and the young lady easily convinced her
relatives and friends that she hadn' been
seduced. The mother-in-law kept up
considerable Of a talk, though. for weeks,
and then fought Ed. at every point when
ne sued for divorce. But he got it and
at once carried the decree to the mansion
of the grocer and showed it to him, say
;1g: ''You know the racket they have
given me. You know they said seduced
her. They lied about that, but when
they said that I loved her they told the
truth. What have you got to say about
IT, The business man wiped his glasses
and said, 'What has the girl to say about
% "Call her in,'' said Webster, ''and
see.' She tripped in, and the scene was
almost as pretty as some which they put
on the stage after heavy william is killed
and reconciliation is going on. She put
her hand on Eds foretop and said to her
papa: 81 will marry him because he has
loved me honestly and sincerely. and
couldn't help loving him. He said he
would come to take me when he was free
and could come like a man, and he has
kept his word" The old man sent for
the preacher. And on that night. which
was last Thursday, they became man and
wife in spite Of talk and an irate mother
