Soon, however, the vile confded To her
intimate friends that she did not love her

with her lot On Tuesday morning last
Mrs. yereen arose and, as usual. prepared
some whiskey teddy for her husband to

boys became very sick. and soon afterward
Mr.. yeeren was prostra.ed. A physician
was summoned and found Mr.. Nereen appa-

restoring him TO consciousness.

The signature appeared 10 be- genuine, and
the money was paid without question.
The signature, however, proved to be q
forgery. but before 1t was discovered Miles
he'd fed, taking with him Miss Corson, the

Miles aud fell in love with blm on sight. In
few DAYS Miles proposed marriage. She
knew it was Useless TO ask her fathers con-
sent, so an eopement was decided upon.
Then came the rub. Miles was without
funds. but didn't care to reveal the state OF

full by means Of forged check, which was
successfully carried out. After that nothing
was heard Of the runaways, although Mr..
Corson exhausted every means IN bis power
to discover their whereabouts.
On opening his mail this morning Mr..
Corson was surprised TO receive letter
from Miles, dated at Liverpool, in which he
said that he and Miss Corson had gone direct
TO Jersey CITY after leaving Philadelphia,
and were married by clergyman there.
After the ceremony they took a steamer for
England, and had since been having merry
time on the Continent. He said that he bad
