| Il wish you would not address me as
Mrs. Cline" remarked domestic to Mrs.
Harlan, of No. 70 Tuers avenue, "for
detest the name, and never want to hear it
| again. As soon as l can secure sufficient
/ means, shall have divorce; and in the
| meantime you will confer a lasting favor by
addressing me by my old nance Eliza Gal
| lsgher."
| Nothing was farther from Mrs. Harlan's
| thoughts than causing her domestic the
| slightest annoy ance or concern. But Eliza
had good reason for her indignation. Few
| domestics of the present day could boast of
more thorough knowledge of house work,
and she was untiring In her efforts to please,
end discharge her duties During ELIAS
five years service at Mrs. Harian's she was
enabled to lay aside an even $500, besides
clothing herself in tidy and comfort
able manner. She rarely went out
and never in the company of men
although for nearly two years of that
period she received and returned the atter-
tons of Mr.. Bernard Cline, who was pre-
sumed TO have moderately fair position in
the Erie Railway. Occasionally he would
spend an evening in ELIAS company at the
Harlan residence, the comfortable dining
room being at her disposal after the even
ing repast had been enjoyed, and men,
bers of the household had repaired to the
parlors above.
On the evening of Friday, December III
Eliza went out, ostensibly to call upon
friend. and did not return Until the follow
ing morning about 8 o'clock. She was mp
bra ded for her conduct by Mrs. Harlan, to
whom she exhibited massive plain gold
ring, and said that she had been married to
Bernard by the Rev. Father Seton the night
before. She would remain with the lady
until Sunday evening, and in the interim
the services of another assistant must be
secured.
She kept her promise and on Sunday
evening took her departure in company
with her husband. On the following
morning she drew out of the bank the $500
on deposit there, and together with her
husband visited furniture store where
they purchased sufficient quantity for
present purposes, upon the instalment
plan, paying $40 down. Rooms we're Sc
cured in Ferry street, where the furniture
was to be delivered, and deposit of SIS
had been left when the apartments were
selected. That she had the utmost conf
dence in her husband is shown by the fact
that she gave him the entire amount.
After the purchases had been made Ber-
nard directed Eliza to go directly to the
rooms, and said that he would follow her
as soon as he had called to his late boarding
house and got his clothes, The happy
couple parted, Eliza going to her new
home; but Cline never Joined her
there. He skipped to Kansas with the bal
ance of the poor girls hard earnings From
that point she received q letter on Friday
bidding her a happy New Year, and in
structing her to secure the ten and five
dollar deposits, and his apparel. which be
left behind him ia his haste to multiply q
distance between him and State prison.
Almost heart-broken, she returned to her
old home and entreated Mrs. Harlan
to take her back; but new girl was there.
She registered at the Peoples intelligence
Office on Commuuipaw avenue, and looked
in vain for employment Despair drove
her almost to suicide and as last resort
she made final appeal to her old mistress
The kind-hearted woman heard the story,
pitied her, and has made room for her
again in her household
Investigation instituted since KIine's
hasty flight reveals the fact that he was
never in TIE employ of the Erie Company,
and that he was accompanied in his West
ern journey by well-known damsel of
| moderate beauty but questionable repute.
