into the sawduSt and found a human sheleton' ue-

the maiden's father heard of what was
going on he swore that Mary's last

locked his daughter in room, with the
traditional bread and water, but one
day she succeeded in escaping and in
joining Mr.. Perry at the railrosd sta ion.
When the pursuing father learned that
Perry had bought tickets for Portland,
he telegraphed to The police to arrest
his daughter, aud waited contentedly
for the next train. But the lovers were
too shrewd to fail into such trap. Miss
Mary wound her arms around conduc-
tor Bogart's neck, and with a kiss
bribed him to delay the train at Eugene
City long enough to have the marriage
ceremony performed. A Justice of the
Peace was in waiting; in response to a
telegram, and the young couple were

TRAGEDY or LONGFELLOW'S
T7EE
New York Evening Post.


Before leaving Europe in 1889 he
had met, in much the manner des-
cribed in "Hyperion," the lady who
was destined to be his second wife,
then Miss Fanny Appleton, daugh-
ter of the late Nathan Appleton, of
Boston. Those of us who can re-
call the second Mrs. Longfellow will
never forget her distinguished and
noble presence or the rare beauty OF
"those deep, unutterable eyes" the
poet sang. 1t is known that. his
suit was not at first acceptable to
her, and that she was not entirely
gratifed at being the recognized
theme of a romance so highly
wrought. There certainly was some
reluctant delay about the matter, as
the romance was published in 1889,
and it was not till July, 1843, that
the second marriage of Mr.. Long
fellow took place. 1t was to HIM a
source of the most unmingled hap
piness for many years, ending at
last in tragedy as intense and
concentrated as ever poet dreamed.
On July 8, 1861, his ldolized wife
was burnt to death in his very pres
ence, by her clothes taking fire, in
spite of all efforts to extinguish the
flames. The shock to Mr.. Long
fellow was so great that fora time
it seemed as if reason itself was in
danger; and though he came grad
ually back to his accustomedss life
and pursuits, he seemed thencefor-
ward an old man. Yet he turned
again to his work, and there was
hardly an abatement to his activity
until within three months of his
death.
