Attributes Of the Emerald.

The Greeks dedicated the emerald to Mer-
curry. The Turks believe it will make a
coward brave and Will avert plague. 1t has
been held to denote success in life, and the
Hindoos believe that it gives the wearer
power to avert plague and invests him with
courage The following stanza has been
urged as sentimental definition Of the
emerald:
Who first beholds the light of day
In spring sweet fiowery month of Nay
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and happy wife

A pair of horses belonging to NJ. Marcus
were hitched in the rear Of his residence on
Broadway yesterday afternoon, and two of
his children were sitting on the back seat of
the carriage to which they were attached,
when the animals broke loose and began to
run They struck into Scott street thence
to Broadway, and were heading toward the
newly laid motor track where the paving is
torn up, when they were stopped. Several
parties, attracted by the screams of the child
ren and seeing the terrible fate that awaited
them if the frightened animals reached the
street, attempted to stop them but without
success until an agile young man seized one
of the horses by the bit as he rushed by
The children would have undoubtedly been
killed by being dashed to the stone paving if
the team had not been stopped Just as it was.
The escape was narrow one, and was wit

United States Custom House daughter of
William Stuart Appleton niece of Associ-
ate Justice Samuel Blatchford, of United
States Supreme court of Washington, ID. c.
Both parties are well known and have
good family connections, but the start
ling feature is that the bridegroom has
been induced to run away from his
bride. but she declares that she will find
him.
Keene is only nineteen years of age,
while his wife is forty-one and has five
children, whose ages run from five to
seventeen. The honeymoon was passed
at the shore resort known as Riverside.
on Narragansett bay, and it was thence
that the youthful husband departed
without taking his wife into his conf
dence as to his destination. 1t is
thought, however that he has gone to
Europe.
Keene is the great-grandsOn of Josiah
Keene. u substantial farmer of North

Keene, who at one time was married by
n student of Brown 5 university to a
girl, whose parents found out the hoax
and compelled him to enter into legal
marriage. The girl soon after took her
own life, but she had one son, who was
Keene's father. His aunt is IL member
of the wealthy Bullock family of Rhode
Island, and the boy is very we'll off. hav-
ing considerable money protitably in

Some time ago his aunt took him to
New York, where he entered as a stu

went to live in Mrs. GeOrgiana A. Hun

Keene was i'll from malaria, and was
carefully nurscd by his boarding house
mistress. An attachment was the re-
suit, and the boy patient proposed and
was accepted. They went to Brooklyn
where the ceremony was quietly per-
formed
All went well until vacation came,
when Keene had to visit his aunt at
Riverside to keep promise. He had
been there only few days when Mrs.
Hunter-Keene, baggage, household
goods and children arrived at the little
cottage where Keene and his aunt
lived. The cottage would not hold them.
so the family, minus the husband, took
possession of a cottage opposite Aunt
Bullock's home. Keene spent so much
time in the cottage across the way that
his stepfather asked some questions, and
then the secret came out. Efforts were
made Immediately to separate the
couple, and after holding out for Il week
Keene submitted. Only three people
know where he is, and they will not
| tell.
Mrs. Hunter-Keene is still at the cot,
tage and swears she will get her hus
band back. She is a young looking
woman with lively air. She comes
