Charles Green. of West Virginia
loved, or thought he loved, Ella Foster.
The parents objected, which made
Charley very sure that he loved Ella
and that he could never think of living
without her. He got two friends to
steal her out of the house one night
and roust out preacher. When it
came to the point, however, Charley
weakened before the awful consumma-
ton and said he didn't believe he'd
marry for a month or so. The fellows
who had purloined the girl were too
smart to get married themselves, and
not being willing to shoulder the re-
sponsibility of their share of the fun,
quietly covered the recalcitrant bride
groom with their revolvers, when he
went through the ceremony as cheer
fully as men generally do nowadays. -

McComas came to light recently at
Sablnal. Mexican town above Socor-
TO, N. M. Three years ago. when Vic
toria's band of Apaches held sway in
this section of the country, three wood
gathererS were overtaken in the La
drone Mountains and all supposed to
have been killed. A boy nine years of
age was in the party, but his body
could not be found. A great Joy was
manifested in the town the other day by
the temperance of the boy after three
years. He was dressed in the garb of
an Indian, but was at once recognized
by his father. He relates that when
the others were killed he was permitted
to live and was carried away to Modi-
oce by Victoria, where he has been ever
since herding cattle in the Sierra Madre
Mountains. He was in the party
brought back by General Crook, and
has begged his way back from the San
Carlos reservation. - Chicago Times.
