Story of q Youthful Couple and An Indig-
nant Mamma.
From the Leavenworth, (Kansas) Times.
There was lively scene of domestic
trouble at the depot on Sunday afternoon
as the Missouri Pacific train came in. An
anxious mother was there to receive home
an erring daughter who had left her pater-
nal roof two months ago blushing maid of
sweet sixteen and returned on Sunday a
bride. When the train bad stopped in the
depot the mother ran up to the cars and
scanned the features closely of every per-
son who descended to the platform. At
last her scrutiny was rewarded by a young
girl, handsomely attired in light travelling
suit and a jaunty little hat that partially hid
wealth OF golden curls, and shaded the
dark, lustrous eyes that flashed defiantlv on
the lady, who received her with open arms,
while unrestrainedly the tears flowed down
her cheeks.
Then came another actor on the scene, a
young man of about twenty-five years
of age, who stepped up to tho lady with an
expectant air and stood by, silent witness
to the scene.
Suddenly the young girl turned to him
and said:
Mamma, my hushand!"
Your husband!" exclaimed the astonish-
ed lady, what! My child, my baby, mar

Without noticing the last remark, the an
cry mother walked up to the young man
and looking him over from head to foot
with indescribable scorn, said: "How dare
you take my baby, my only child, from me
without my consent? You are wretch, sir;
and let me tell you, sir, you are not wanted
in our family. Ny daughter will go home
with me, and you just cit for Illinois,"
: But your daughter loves. me-" he pro-

Stepping up to the young lady, he placed
his hand confidently on her. arm and said
defantly: "Come, Nellie, will protect you,
and we will go where there is q warmer

The young girl wavered; she was in
delicate position, being compelled to choose
between her mother and her newly chosen
husband. Finally, as if deciding the
matter in her mind, she said:
mo, Charley; I guess ma is
right. I'd better 60 home, and you can
write to me some times, won't you, Charlie7
And maybe we can -. AT this point she
burst into tears, while the irate mother
led her from the depot. The young man
dropped his under jaw in detected man
ner and wandered aimlessly after Thorn.
When last seen by Officer Neibaur they
wore going up Cherokee street, the young
man following at respectable distance
behind. Whether the disappointed hus

not been ascertained, and he may be in the
city yet endevoring to get back his wife,
who went home to her ma as a matter of
choice, and why shouldn't she? She can
get another husband, but she can never
get another mother.
