made as tiGht as possible. lie ordered
all his scarf, Just ike Mr.. Morosinl : until
the latter's attention was called by the
dealer TO the fact that his ~coachman Wa

When he left Mr.. Morosini's, Schell,
ing went down TO George Werner >a-
loon, on Riverdale avenue, where he had
been boarding since October last, and
settled his bill Mr.. Werner said that
he was a good boarder, but kept nothing
in his room. All his things were kept
| in the stable. where he did all his wi
| washing and hung il out to dry. he
received for wages $50 . mouth aud his
clothes. When he left Werner's it Is
thought that he wen to New York to
make arrangements for his fight.
Meanwhile Miss Norosini was getting
more nervous all the time, anl only seem
ed to brighten up after the clandestine
visits of the coschman Once she said
that she wanted TO 20 into a convent,
when her father replied that he would
rather have her To do that than have
anything to do with the coachman, who,
be said, was nothing but . bsboon. VIC
toria replied that be had always treated
her and spoken 10 her like a gentleman,
aud from then on treated all the members
Of her family very sulklly.
On the day of her flight she spent sew
eral hours in the garden al the back OF
the house, throwing apples TO a nelghbor :
horse. Her mother happened to look
out, aud saw Smelling arnbushed behind
a tree on the other side OF the stone gar
den wall, and talking 10 the young lady
when the coast wa clear. Mrs. Moroslnl
called her daughter IL, told her she
ought to be ashamed, and ordered her to
her room Victoria refused to 81. and
asked for the key Of the closet containing
her Paris dresses. At that time she had
on only a blue and white check Bingham
dress, old slippers, and 10 hat She
went iuto her ruoM ~ the rear OF the
house, and threw another gingham dress,
Jack and white, out OF the window. She
also threw out a poke bonnet and u new
PAIR Of button shoes. She put on a light
pair OF high hefled hronsed ~slippprs, aud
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 a white handkerchief around her
neck. The servants looked on In mute
surprise not daring to say anything, and
rushed around right and LETT for hairpins
to fix up their MISTRESS 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 Ter
sister. She wore the bronzed slippers,
and carried the button she's IN her hand.
At the hack of the garden -hp met the
coachmao, who helped her over the white
washed wall. They cut through the
woods to avoid observation, and walked
up the track to Ludlow Station.
NOTE.
We do not sympathise with the girls
conduct, but certainly the conduct of the
Morosini family robs them of all SYM
pathy. The fathpr was q sailor boy,
and made all his wealth by dong dirty
work for Jay Gould. His latest at il.
the basest. He caused all the papers to
print the report that the girls mother
was dying, and begging the daughter to
return. On Monday the latter and her
husband went to the house and were
loaded with abuse, and arrested on a
charge of stealing a small gold-pin,
which the young wife says her sister
gave her years ago!
