Waugh church, of Capitol hill, where 81
many peniteut sinners have been con
verted to good Christians, has developed ;
sensation which is creating quite a little
stir among the congregation. About {
year ago, during a revival, young mar
named Robert, seeing the folly of his
ways, decided to repent, and one nigh

ing. Among those prominent in leading the
young man to salvation was young lady
who was noted for her good work in the
church. She was teacher in the Sunday
school and was beloved by all. Her father
one of the pillars of the church and super
intendent of the Sunday school, was a
grave, silent and good man, who took good
care t, teach his children the right path.
After Robert had been converted he was
admitted to the home circle of the family,
who, like good Christians, did all in their
power to help him and made efforts to get
him position. After church on Sunday
and prayer meetings at night, Robert
would walk beside Miss Emma on their
home journey, as their way lay
IN the same direction, and loiter-
ing behind the old folks, each
would whisper words of love into the
willing ears of tbs other. But not content
with making love on the quiet, they began
to think of matrimony. He had received 2
position as driver on the Herdic cab-line,
and in the early morning when Robert was
starting to the scene of his daily labor
Emma was there to give him kiss and
words of good advice. The father being
apprised of this fact, took his daughter to
task, and forbade Robert the privilege of
entering his house or the church again.
But Robert, nothing daunted, asked Emma
to be his wife, and she, caring for nothing
except his love, and even willing to forsake
her happy home and loving friends, said
yes. Then they began to arrange plans fol
their marriage. One dark night, when the
breezes waited the sweet odors from the
Potomac fats over Lincoln park, and relig-
ious people were vending their way to
church, Robert and Emma met in the
shadow of the statue of the martyred
president, and started down town. The
irate parent, however, got wind of the at
tempted elopement, and was on hand with
his stalwart son, and when Robert and
Emma hove in sight the father took his
daughter home, while the son proceeded to
fresco the homely mug of Bob, who was
but child in the hands of Emma's big
brother. Bob was beaten. Emma was
discouraged. The father and son were
happy. The clock had just struck when
the figure of female closely muffled stole
out from the abode of the stern parent
above alluded to, and joined man in a
large ulster, in Lincoln park Saturday
night. "We will go now," the man said to
the woman, and, springing into carriage,
commanded the driver to drive to the
house of a noted divine. 1t was Robert
and Emma. The father is looking for
them now. The second attempt proved
