He Married his Sweetheart's Sis
ter.

The marriage of George Finlay, the
historian of ancient Greece and for
many years correspondent of the Lon
don Times at Athens, was attended by
considerable romance. Finlay had be-
come attached to a beautiful Armeni-
an girl at Constantinople, and, as her
family would never have consented to
her marriage with the young Scotch
man, determined to elope with her. A
yacht of an English friend was to take
the couple to Greece, and it was ar
ranged that the young lady was to be
got on board in a box prepared for the
purpose. When the eventful moment
came the girl became frightened and re-
fused to allow herself to be placed in
the box. Her sister, a girl equally
lovely, thought it pity that the ro-
mantle arrangement should not be
taken advantage of, and entered her
self the box in place of her sister. I
suppose Einlay must have been con-
slderably surprised when the box was
opened in the cabin of the yacht and
not his sweetheart, but her sister, was
revealed, dressed in midshipman' uni
form. The brother of the young lady
had discovered the affair and was
quickly on board the yacht ito demand
an explanation. Finlay saw only one
course before him. The girl had been
compromised; he would marry her.

rage took place at once. San Fran.
