tried to spirit some of her clothes away, but
was foiled, the mothers watch vas too

long, although moments seemed to be

Kate. The father saw if be raised his gun

continued to walk to and fro. The terrible
suspense was soon broken, the door of the
house dew open, Miss Kate dashed into the
yard and toward her lover, closely follow

ents, and as fleet footed as a deer, Miss
Kate reached the buggy and was soou seat

team and dashed away. Mrs. Edwards
made a wild effort to catch her daughter
before reaching the buggy, but failed, and
as the vehicle rol ed away she pelted it
