The P0lp Mil Well.

The report that the proprietors of the
new pulp mills on the Chistiana, had
abandoned the sinking of the artesen
we'll on the premises was incorrect.
The company is still sinking the shaft
deeper and deeper and they have now
reached rock similar to Rrandywine
granite at a depth Of 1872 feet. 1t is
thought good water and plenty of it
cannot be much farther down, but the
company have no intention Of abandon

A PLUCKY GIRL WHO WAS BOUND
MARRY HER LOVER,

A PLUCKY GIRL WHO WAS BOUND TO
MARRY HER LOVER.
The neigh 5orhoOd of Elizabeth City,
N. o., IL IN state of great excitement
over the recent elopement and marriage
OF gushing young couple, Jonathan
Ivy and Florence Seymark. The young
lady's parents did not approve of young
lyy's advances and fore5ade him their
house. The lovers, however managed
to meet clandeslnely and made up their
minds to an elopement, which was to
have occurred one night. Old man Sey-
mark, by some means or other, got wind
OF the proposed escapade and went gun
ming that day for Jonathan. Coming up
with the gay young lover, he blazed
away at him, shooting him in the shOul-
der and infiictinga a painful hut hot dan-
gerous wound. Florence was over
whel med with grief at her fathers hasty
conduct, but her passion for her wound
ed lover was Intensified thousand fold.
She sent him letter, telling him she
would fly with him that night If he would
come for her. So that night young Ivy
put in appearance about o'clock, Miss
Florence was In a terrib BILE dilemma, for
her cruel parente to insure against any
escapade, had not only locked the girl
into her room. but had also taken away
almost all her clothing. Blu: she was not
to be baffi ed. She made rope out of
the sheets of her bed and let herself
down to the ground, with no other gai-
ment but night dress. She told the
coacbman to "look the other way" and
after her lover had helped her int the
carriage and covered her with the car.
riage robes, she made him sit on the box
with the coachmau. They drove to the
house of friend, where Florence was at
tired in proper garments and then pro-
ceeded to the house OF a sympathlzing
preacher, where the lovers were speedily
united in wedlock.

and did not hesitate an instant. Her
boarded earnings went to pay the debt.
1t was bad to be so cramped for a
little money, and ones wedding day
so near. Her wardrobe was limited.
She needed nice seal-brown cashmere
dreadfully, and light silk or two for
evening wear. Aunt Greyson told
the truth-she would look shabby in
the grand rooms at Oaklands, in the
very midst of Charley's stately sisters !
The tears came faster, and present
ly the little pearl-handled knife, with
which she was ripping the seams, fell
suddenly, and cut great cash across
the breast of the coat.
Kathie gave little shrek of dis
may.
''There now, I've spoiled the best of
the cloth; can't get my jacket out
What shall l do ?"
Down went the bright young head,
and with her face buried in granpapa's
old coat, Kathie cried as if her heart
would break.
Something rustled under her hands.
"Why, what's thisP Some of poor
grandpapa's papers p
She tore the lining loose, and there,
beneath the wadding, was a package
done up in parchment and tied with
red tape.
Kathie drew it forth. On one side
was written: ''This package belongs
to my granddaughter Kaihie."
"Why, what can it be p' cried the
young girl, he fingers fiuttering as she
tugged at the tape.
At last the knot yielded and she un-
folded the package. Folded coupon
bonds-a good dozen at least-and
thick layer of crisp bank notes. On the
top little note. She read it:
MY dear little granddaughter, here
is your marriage dowry-$10, 0OO.-
One day some fine fellow will claim
you for his wife. You are treasure
in yourself, but take this from poor
grandpapa."
"Oh, grandpa, you did not forget
me p' sobbed Kathie.
A ring at the door startled her. She
Immediately looked out and saw her
lover; gathering her treasure into the
lap of her ruffled apron, she rushed
out to meet him.
'Oh, Charlie, come quick I've such
wonderful news to tell you"
The young man followed her into
the drawing-room, wondering what had
happened.
She told him all.
"My darling," said he, his voice
thrilling with tenderness, 81 am glad
OF all this, because you are glad. For
my own part, / would rather have
taken these darling little hands with
out shilling in them. You need no
dowry, Kathie; you are crowned with
beauty, and purity, and goodness. In
my eyes you are always fresL and fair,
and lovely, no matter what you wear.
llove you for your own sweet self, my
darling"
Kathie let the folded coupons and
bank notes slip from her apron and
fall to the floor in rustling shower.
80, Charlie p she whispered, lean
ing her head against his shoulder, 81
am SO glad -
"Glad of what, Kathie? Grandpa

"No glad you love me for myself"

feet grandpapa's marriage dowry lay
