THERE'S MANY A SLIP.
She Runs Away to Marry and Then
Changes Her Mind.
From Reidsville Weekly.1


From Reidsville Weekly
On last Saturday mornings train from
Richmond a very pretty young lady
"hardly SIXTEEN" stepped off, attended by
a young man, "scarcely twenty (whose
chief feature was mustache freshly dyed,
and that stood like 1.-The shadow Of a HOY
ering kiss,'D and they registered at the
Piedmont Hotel as Miss -- Eve omit
the names for that is none of your bust
ness, O. gossipping reader y and Mr.,
of Richmond, Va. They had come to be
married. But there was no chance for
license here; it had to be issued at Went
worth, the county seat, seven miles dis
tant; SO the young man left the lady at
the hotel while he drove to Wentworth
for the license.
Left to herself in the quiet of her room
the young lady underwent sober refec-
ton Being member of a Richmond
Baptist church she sent for the Rev. B. II.
Phillips, a Baptist minister in this town,
and told him the circumstances under
which she left home. It seems she was
on visit to her aunt in Manchester, who
favored the marriage, and the elOpement
was arranged from there. She went IN q
jersey with the young man and driver
from her aunt's house to catch the two
o'clock morning train at Bon Air She said
enough to marry him, and she was at {.
loss what to do Mr.. Phillips told her that
at SO tender age as sixteen he could not
consent to perform the ceremony and as
she did not love the man it would be sin
| full to marry him. Mr. Quincy, the pro
| prietor of the hotel, very properly tele-
| graphed her father at once, stating the
| facts and asking his pleasure in the mat
| ter. The young man who had by this
time returned with the license, had a quiet
talk with the young lady, and very frankly
| told her if her heart wasn't in it he cer-
tainly would not have her marry him, and
he went also and telegraphed ''thc old
man, saying, ''We are here; what shall
we do!'' The girls father answered his
telegram first, telling them to return home
on first train, but later on Capt. Quincy,
| the proprietor Of the Piedmont Hotel, was
telegraphed by the pater familias to hold
! his daughter till he came for her himself
| by the Sunday mornings train. On this
| advice the young man, after sending his
| license back, returned to Richmond on
Saturday nights train. Sunday morning
the girls father arrived here on the S:3:
train. He and his daughter had a very
| pleasant and satisfactory interview at the
hotel, and they returned to Richmond
on the up train that morning.

ask himself whether or not-king of beasts
