NEWARK. N. j., June miss Jennie
Eads Martin was the belle of one of the
prettlest hamlets near Paisley, Scotland, six
years ago. She sang in the village choir
and had charge of the Sunday school of the
church. Robert NJ. Kinnard, handsome
young man who was prentice to sur
veyor and mining engineer in Edinburg,
won hel love. One evening at country
dance the lovers had spat, and young
kinnard, hot-tempered and jealous, fled
from the hamlet without attempting to
kiss and make up with his brown-haired,
blue-eyed little sweetheart A few weeks
later news came from Edinburg that Kin
nard had sailed for the United States. Miss
Martin was at first disposed to be angry,
and her mother and relatives urged her to
forget her faithless lover. In spite of his
singular action she chung to him,
and when her mother died she
quilted the home of her childhood.
None of her friends knew whittier she had
gone. Five weeks ago Miss Martin, who
had been mourned for dead, wrote to her
aunt in this city, from Dakota, that she was
coming on to pay her visit. In few
days she arrived, and her aunt, who had
delighted with her appearance. She had
developed from pretty Scotch lassie into
A CoMELY AND CHARMING YOUNG WOMAN.
Her comeliness and accomplishments fiat
tered the pride of her aunt and uncle, and
her gentleness and kindness won their love.
Yesterday afternoon the uncle was called
to the door, where he saw a tall and fine
looking young man, who had fearless blue
eyes, bronzed and handsome face and
crisp. curling blonde hair and mustache.
The stranger inquired if young woman
from Dakota was in the house. and
on being answered in the. affirmative.
flash OF delight sprang into his eyes. He
said he must see her at once. He. was
shown into the parlor where Miss Martin
was seated and the instant he espied her he
rushed up to her. Jennie, you cannot
escape me now," he said, and his passion
ate love sparkled in his eyes and burned in
his flushed cheeks. Il have followed you
from Dakota and have crossed the ocean
twice to find you. l will never go away
until take you as my wife" Mingled
amazement and pleasure Shone in Miss
Martins dark blue eyes. but she controlled
her feelings so well that her uncle could
not tell whether she was pleased or other
wise. She introduced the stranger as
Robert NJ. Kinnard, a mining engineer,
who was her sutton i'll Dakota. Then she
went up stairs and told her aunt quietly
that a gentleman from Dakota had called
to see her. Her aunt suspected at once
that the young man was
THE LOVER OF HER NIECE.
but the latter would neither admit nor deny.
Aunt and uncle, who had never heard of
Kinnard before, were charmed with him.
a hot In
New York, ostensibly to go to theater,
but at IL o'clock they returned and the
niece showed her aunt marriage certificate.
They had been married quietly by Metho-
dist clergyman in New York and the serv-
ants of the minister were the witnesses.
The aunt and uncle prepared feast, and
sent for friends, a score of whom gathered
an hour later to celebrate the impromptu
ceremonies. Kinnard said that after quit
ting Scotland he became a mining engineer
in Omaha, Dakota and Nevada, and he &C
cumulated considerable wealth. Although
he met many charming women he could not
forget the Scotch lass he had fled from in
jealous anger. Thinking that she had mar
ried some other admirer he became despond-
ent, and turned all his energies to boarding
money. One day he saw face at
the window of a large mine owners house.
1t was the Jennie he had fled from over five
years ago. She was the governess of the
miners children. He met her and
SHE WAS COLD.
When he pleaded she became silent, and
several times she changed her dwelling
place to other towns. Finally she disap-
peared. Thinking she had gone to Scot
land he proceeded thither. ''On arriving
at the village where we lived as children"
Mr.. Kinnard continued, Il learned that
Jennie had not returned to the place. A
relative told ME that she had an aunt in
Newark, N. j., and that same day started
for New York again. On reaching Newark
called upon a score of Martins but none
of them could tell me about my lass.
Finally ascertained that her aunt had
moved a second time and then found her.
Jennie will sail with me for Scotland week
after next for long trip" 81 ran away"
blushing Mrs. Kinnard said, Gin order to
make him feel what I felt when he fled
from me five years ago. His experience
has cured him. and now will not be afraid
that he will run away again. Foolish lad.
he was jealous, but he had no cause, for I
loved him so much that I really came to
this country to find him."
