A ROMANCE.
MoTosini's Runaway Daughter Returns
to the Paternal Mansion to
Be FORGIVEN.

from Troy at 5:22 this morning. Her
return was the result CT negotiations
pending for two days between the
runaway couple and Morosini. Mr..
and Mrs. Schelling, who have been
stopping in Troy since the elopement,
took carriage and drove to the MGR
osini mansion. Mrs. Schelling enter
ed the house alone, he remaining a
short distance away. The young wo-
man remained indoors about an hour.
What took place there is not certain
" known, but it is understood that
the gr1ef-stricken parents besought
the daughter to renounce her hus-
band and come back to their care, and
the father absolutely refused to recog-
nize Schelling as his daughters hus
band. The daughter has absolutely
refused to give up her husband, ana
left the house and joined Schelllng.
The couple then drove to hotel on
Riverside avenue.
Mrs. Morosini's condition IS reported
critical this evening, and she IS not
expected to live through the night.
When Captain Mangin, OF the
Yonkers police. was Informed OF the
arrival Of the runaway couple he
bolted out Of bed, says the New York
Tribune, and hurriedly dressed him
self. Then he started on run for the
depot. Halfway down he came upon
Schelling and three women who were
about to turn into Riyerdale avenue,
thorodghfare which leads to the
Morosini house. 81 guess you had
better come with me to the station"
said Mangin to Schelling, ''and let me
go and apprise Mr.. Morosini of your
arrival" Schelling showed anxiety
to meet his father-in-laW, and in few
minutes the party were seated in the
captains private room III the station.
The neW-made wife clasped the coach
man tenderly about the neck and
kissed him time and time again. He
returned her caresses, but kept a sharp
watch on the door, as if expecting at
any moment to see the towering form
of Morosini entering the station. The
bride expressed a desire to eat some
thing, and waiter brought over
some ham and eggs, coffee and rolls,
and spread them On a table in the
room.
At $50, Just as the last remnants of
the breakfast were being eaten, a hack
ratified up to the door of the station
and Captain Mangin got out, and a
dark-featured young man remained
inside. He was Attila p. Morosini,
the eldest son of MoroSini. His face
was pale, but he showed no evidence
of excitement. Captain Mangin told
Mrs. Schelling or Hulskamp that her
brother wished to see her outside, and
Victoria walked to the open door of
the carriage. What was said by the
brother to the sister could not be
heard. They did not shake hands, but
it was plain that Attila was urging
the newly married wife to do some
thing that she was resolute in declln-
ing to do Once he stretched out his
arm and half clasping her about the
waist sought by gentle force to pull
her into the vehicle beside him. She
drew away from him and again enter
ed the station and rejoined her hus-
band. At this juncture the young
man, whose face had turned paler than
ever during this briet interview, got
out of the carriage and followed his
sister into the station, AS he did so
Cap6ain Mangin called Schelling and
his wife from the private room, and
the pair stood confronting young
Morosini before the desk. The Italians
black eyes flashed only for an instant
as his gaze fell upon his new brother
in-law, but he said nothing and did
not stir.
81 must tell you, Mr.. Schelling,'
said Captain Mangin, 81 am compelled
to. detain your wife here as a
prisoner"
"What have done that l should be
arrested for it" said the young
woman, her bosom beginning to
heave, "you cannot arrest me f.r MIR.

"Madam," replied the police cap
tain, 81 have a warrant here charging
yau with grand larceny in stealing a
diamond pin, valued at $40, from your
sister,"
"'T1s falsel IT'S falsel This is the

1--WE have stolen nothing" said
Schelling, throwing back his should
ers and glancing vindictively at his
brother-in-law. "We have brought
back every thing we have taken
away"
"Oh that should have been so de-

arm and chung to him affectionately.
Nevertheless Captain Mangin went
through the formal questions and en-
tered the following on the official blot
ter: "Victoria Hulska mp, age twenty
six; white; native of the United States;
married; can read and write; charged
with stealing a diamond pin of the
value of $40.

of young Morosini. =

young man left the station.
Mrs. Kulskamp renewed her lamen-
tations after his departure. "If they
take me into court" she said, 81 will
give them cause for sorrow which
they will ever regret. For twenty-six
years they have had me in state of
prison, and when I break away and
marry the man of my choice, they en-
trap me into their snare again"
Captain Mangin then sent for JUS
tice PentZ, and explained that he
thought the charge of larceny was
only made as an excuse to hold Mrs.
Kulskamp.
"Then | will parole you, madame,
until September %, at 8 a. M, on your
own recognizance," said the justice.
Thus freed, Mr.. and Mrs. Schelling-
Hulskamp drove up Riversdale ave-
nue. half way to the Morosini mansion.
At Riversdale avenue and Ludlow
street is the liquor store of Henry
Warner. 1t is plain implanted two
story frame-house. Up stairs over
the liquor store is a room occupied by
Schelling, while in Morosini's employ
ment as coachman. When the vehicle
got opposite his old quarters,
Schelling alighted and hurried
into the beer shop. where he was warm
