A Sad Tale,

1t has been some time since the reader
has been RECALLED with tales of her elope-
ment with her fathers coachman. She has
intermitted tins amusing scandal for the
delights of running away with another
woman's husband and so on. But now
she appears in the old familiar role in time
to rescue the followers of the coachman-
lover business from despair. This time
she halls from Cornwall and is the
daughter, the well-bred and highly edu-
Gated daughter, of course, of wealthy
country gentleman. Her groom, that is to
say, her fathers groom, or, more strictly
speaking, the hired man who groomed her
fathers horses, was the same kind OF a
man he generally is in such cases. He was
a burly, ignorant fellow. and very found OF
his young mistress. She could be safely
trusted with him at all times, and he was
always to be trusted as her mental
guardian. But why pursue the Oft
told tale? They were heard from and
were stopping at hotel in Natal. They
quarreled, and she packed her duds and
left for home. He remains in Natal, and
has found employment as waiter in the
hostelry where the greater part OF their
honeymoon and elopement money was
spent. The romantic ending OF this tale is
disappointing, for it does not appear that
he abused her, or that she was forced to
earn living for both.-[Peoria Transcript.
