he had always treated her and spoken to her like
a gentleman, and from then on treated all the

mother happened to look out and saw Schel-
ling ambushed behind a tree on the other side
OF the stone garden wall, and talking to the
young lady when the coast was clear. Mrs
Morosini called her daughter in, told her she
ought to be ashamed, and ordered her to her
room. Victoria refused to go. and asked for the
key to the closet containing her Paris dresses

and threw another Bingham dress, black and
white, out of the window. She also threw out a
poke ponnet and a new pair of button shoes.
She put on light pair of hlgh-heeled
bronzed slippers, and went down stairs to the
laundry, where she put on the second gown over
the one she already wore she had no collar
and folded white handkerchief around her
neck The servants looked on in mute surprise,
not daring to say anything and rushed around
right and left for harpins to fix up their mis-
tress's hair, which was all coming down. She
asked them for a veil, but none of them had any,
and she finally went away, telling them that she
was going over to the school to meet her sister.
She wore the bronzed slippers, and carried the
button shoes in her hand. AT the back of the
garden she met the coachman, who helped her
over the whitewashed wall. They cut through
the woods to avoid observation, and walked up
the track to Ludlow Station.
S. G. Petit, the station agent, saw them COM

that he thought it very strange, and suspected
the truth, but that Miss Morosini held her hand

toothache, and he thought that the coachman,
perhaps, was accompanying her on a visit to the
dentist They went to New York by the 3:13
train without buying ticket The conductor,
James Walsh, knew them, but said he did not
recognize Miss Morosini for some time because
her poke bonnet came away down over her eyes,
and she almost covered her face with her hand
kerchief He suspected nothing wrong, and
thought, too. that they were going to the dem
lists. Schelling, he said, did not seem unusu-
ally attentive to her during the ride. She sat in
the same seat with him, near the window and
looked ut great part of the way
At the Grand Central Depot, he get out at one
end of the train, and the brakeman helped Miss
Morosinl out at the other.
They We're next seen at the house of the Rev.
Gustaye Hausser the minister of the German
church in East Fifth-fifth street. Schelling
asked the ianitor if minister lived there, and
was shown up stairs. They waited for the min
lister in his office for half an hour in the pres
ence of his wife. Miss Mofosini was very nerv-
Gus, and Schelling who was not at all excited,
did all he could to calm her. Mr.. Hausser ar

The minister said he judged from Miss Moro

saying they were going to take the P. NJ boat
to Troy.

gone to Canada The bride once told her sister
that If she ever ran away she would go there
because no one could get anyone there. She
has very fine voice with which she could sup

Miss Morosini is twenty-five years old but she

at her home, and the coachman was about the
