MARRYING FOR MONEY.

A YOUNG WEE DESERTED BY HEART
LESS HosBAND.
Rudolfe Gutknecht is a German resident
OF Washington township. His financial
affairs have been managed neither wisely
nor too well, and be is much in debt. Nu-
merous suits have been begun sgsi st him
by hungry creditors, and co secure himself
agains total wreck OF his fortune, be
decided his eligible property In Brakes sd-
ition to his daughter, young lady be-
ween f8 and 10 years of age. For some
dime past she has known one Franz
s ar, aud her love for him differed
from her fathers financial manage
ment, In that while the one was no
wiser than the others she loved too well.
The sudden acquisition on her part of the
elegant property so recently belonging to
her father, wonderfully increased the
warmth of FrsDZ's love, and he urged the
dear girl to hasten the happy day. Moth
ing 10th she consented, and being indie
pendent of the old gen tlemsu, she came
TO town, aQsinst his express command,
and surrendered her HAND and her lots to
the fortunate wooer who had long had
her heart. The new made and unwilling
tsther-in law wanted the ungrsteful girl
to return the lots, but she bad to consult
her Franz. Franz was generous; be
only wan ed $500 to agree to q recoDvey-
snce. For such lots $500 was dirt cheap,
and the psternal Gutnecht consented TO
PAY THE PRICE.
He was warned that the daughter, being
an infant, could not convey property, but
he wss willing to pay $500 and take the
chances. Day before yesterday he turned
over two-thirds of the stipulated amount,
and afterwarCs 1t repented him that he had
done this thing. he concluded that the
whole transaction was fraudulent, and
that the cloud in his title would not be
removed by reconveysnce. He accused
his affection ate son-iD-lsw of marrying lis
daughter intending to take her and his for
tune away rom him in bis old age. The al
fectionste SON in-Iaw only smiled, and ,es-
terdsy he gently informed his beloved
wife that unless she pr vailed upon her
obdurste and perverse paternsl parent to
fork over that other 500 he would light
out with thu first $500 and leave her to
make her peace with the old mau as besi
sne could. Yesterday afternoon the scala
awsg left for parts unknown, leaving the
trusting woman to sutfae such agony as
only a betrayed and deserted wife can feel.
Moral for the girl-Never tru man
who Is in hurry TO get married just after
you come ITO q fortune.
Moral for the young msn-Somebody
will get even with you for this.
Moral for the old man-Be virtuous and
you will be happy.
