all reports concerning tie name OF

his accustomed place on the vcranda
of his office. On making proper IN
quiry she learned that he had not
been there at all that day. This
aroused her curiosity and excited her
suspicious, leading her to make furth-
er inquiry, and she was informed
that he accompanied Miss Dubois to
Albany. Without further considera-
tion she believed that an elopement
had taken place, and Immediately
informed the faculty that young
Marcy and Miss Dubois had fled to
Albany for the purpose OF beng
clandestinely married. This aroused
them to the highest pitch of excite

through the institution, reaching the
city in q very short space OF time
There was a strange hurryiny "to

the silent mirth which the affair had
created aniong many of the young
ladies who really enjoyed the scene.

The laly and her friends, takeI
by surprise at the sudden entrance g
! the sheriff and his assistants, started
to their feet in alarm. One of the
ladies present summoned courage
. enough to demand of the Office
what he meant By his intrusion

awkward position he found himsel
