Dotoriety BY spreading bis name upon the

He is the father Of young lady not YET
seventeen years old, named Adsh, who u

days ago. Residing in Osweeo also was
Ella Thirkield, about wear older then
Adah. The girls we're fast friends, and
when il Vas poa-ible they we're always to
eether. The BAzOO is not positive, but is
inclined to the opinion that Mis- Thir-
kield vac little fsst-not in the general
occupation Of the term. but fond Of fiirt-
ing and adventure. The young women had
become tired of the quiet monotony of .
bumdrum life in the Ksnsss village, 80 de-
ternined to branch out on their own hook
and, though both were possessed OF good
homes, they consummsted arrangements
and last Tuesdsy night left clande-tinely
for Fort Scott.
They were successful in escaping the
vigilant t0VnspeOple. and far day or two
nothing Vas heard of them. Miss Thir-
kield resided with an uncle, her parents
b-ing dead; but he wss Of the OPINION that
if she desired to seek home among strsn =

menced vigorous search TO- his daughter,
and Friday last learned that the twO girl
had been eeen Ia Fort Scott. He took the
FIRST train for that point, and after come
little search he asceriained that Two young
ladies answering the description Of his
daughter and her c.,mPsnirn had pur-
chased tickets for Sedalia.
Saturday afternoon he left Fort Scott
and came to Seislia a. stated. He did
not proclaim his mission 10 the world At

morning, and before noon his search was
rewarded BY discovering Mies Thrilled
Ut private boarding house. He entered

he'd hidden herself e. anon ~ she cav she
was recognized and refused 10 come forth
Mr.. StinaOn also ascertained that HE
daughter vas ID the came house, and he de.
manded that he be shown To her room.
This wss done, and when they came face to
face the meeting is said to have been most
touching. She rushed into HE arms, and
with tears streaming down her handsome
cheeke asked to be forgiven and taken
bsck home. The father, only too glad to
comply with the request. then had an in

expressed regret for the step she had taken
and desired to return alec.
II eeems that at Fort Scott they both
tried TO secure employment n dining room
girls, bat Miss Stinson only vas successful.
She, however, did not care TO accept unless
her friend remained With her, 80 they came
to Sed.Iis. They had still few dollars
in their possession, and had determined to
not apply for work until this morning, but
the arr iv.l Of Mr. Stin-on spoiled ell their
plans for the future.
The young women were far above the
average servant girls in point Of in,eili-
gence. and they did not realize the dangers
they would be compelled TO encounter 10 II
strange city, nor the dru1sery connected
With the life they had deliberately chosen.
They both returned With Mr.. Stinson on
