''It is true" were Mrs Fuller's words
in answer to an iEquiTy about her daughter
Pauline's elopemsnt. "I have received no
word from my daughter The first heard
Of it was at midday. 1 had driven Mr.
Fuller TO the Capitol little before noon,
and then gone to do some shopping Five
minutes after left him he was told BY a
member of the press of his daughters

senger after me, went on the bench and l
did not see him until four o'clock, when I
drove for him TO the Capitol as usual.

my husband again found it was true"
Had there been any opposition, Mrs
FulleI?" was asked.
"None, because the Chief Justice and
myself knew nothing of the affair. have

Pauline considered him more than an nc-
quaintance. There is where neither my
husband nor myself can understand the
case. There was no opposition. Pauline
had nothing TO fear in the way OF rtstraint.
and there was no need of an elopement.n 30
1T may have been that Miss Pauline
feared that there might be opposition If
you knew of her wish 10 marry?
THAT could hardly be- She has never
had any cause 10 fear steFnness in her pay

and herself have always been the most cor

known among all her fathers friends as her
fathers favOrite child Middle-aged pe0-
Pile liked her for that reason, and looked
upon her as nothing but a child, and she
was a pet with all our Chicago friends

especially intimate terms with her next

nothing. My daughters are confidential

think il was Just the frenzy Of a moment.
II was not premedla.ed. She had no such
thought when she went TO Chicago. She
is as innocent as q child and could not de-
termine TO deceive.
"Did Mr.. Aubery have sisters with
whom yOur daughter was intimateY'
Not that know of. No ore OF his
family ever called at my house, although
they lived quite near. II was some strong
influence. acknowledge that IL she
loved him he would have strong enough
influence TO lead her 10 the step, but ! can
not help thinking that some way, through
his friends, the affair was presented TO her
in such a light that it did not seem de-
celt."

have lived, say that Mr.. Anbery's parents
are Of exec lent standing
That il doubtless true. have never

Mrs. Fuller continued Both the Chief
Justice and myself think that Pauhncs

consented to let her 20 back TO Chicago.
She visited two aud three weeks at O time
among her young friends, all Of whose
mothers were friends Of mine, snd would

of this. Her father wrote her 10 come home

urged her stIenuousiy 10 come home, and
perhap, the thought Of coming back to

After little pause Mrs Fuller added
"It is 20 much the mo!e surprising because
