w I' - "ShfE
town OF Ruston 4 beautiful young lady,
about 10 years Of age, who was hand
somely and iichly dressed and wore
large and costly diamonds and was
we'll provided with money. She was
modest and her manner and conversa-
ton gave unmistakabie evidence tliat
she was Il lady of fine education and
rare accomplishments. No one save
herself knew the object of her coming
until just before she took her depart
ure for Boston, Mass. fsom whence
she cauna. That she is possessed of
nerve and determination the sequel
proves.
Tuesday morning, between 10 and
IL o'clock, she went to the postotlice
and inquired for II letter. She then
engaged Il carriage and was driven 20
the college, where she inquired for =
young gentleman by the name Of
Wright (his given name our infor-
mant did not know.l
She WAS Informed that he WAS not
there but WAS ut the home of his
bruthcr-iu-law, about one and i half
miles from town. BY her order she
was driven to within about 300 yards
OF the place, when the driver was di-
rected to go to the house and notify
Mr.. Wright, who is scarcely out Of his
teens, that a young lady wished to see
him. The young gentleman immedi-
ately responded to the summons, and
in Il few minutes later the young
couple were together, fondly and low
ingly embracing each other. The
driver was dismissed and they were
left alone to themselves. About two
hours later they am to town and
that afternoon at ? O'Clock they board
ed the freight train going east.
Shortly after their departure it leak
ed out chat young Wright spent the
greater portion of last year i'll Bos-
ton, where he became acquainted with
the young lady. The acquaintance
ripened into love and subsequently Il
marriage engagement followed. As is
frequently the case with girls OF con
iding dispositions, she ''loved not
wisely but toe WE'LL After several
weeks Of s%ojourn the young gentle
man took his departure tor Atlanta,
Ga, promising to return i'll due time
and make good his promise. 4 cor
rospondenee was kept up regularly be
tween them. From Atlanta he came
to Ruston. Becoming distrustful that
Mr.. Wright would not return to Der,
she followed him to the latter place TO
remind him that there was no time to
be lost and that he must make good
his promise. Her air of determination
and the cool and methodical manner
in which she carried out her plans left
no room to doubt that she means bust
ness. That she had come for him and
was going to have him. The young
gentleman approaching the situation,
seemed not only willing but anxious to
make good his word. Her coming to
Ruston was evidently no surprise to
him. as he went to the train every
night last week to meet her.
To a lady in Ruston, to whom she
made known her mission, she said
that she was wealthy and had meant
enough to take care of herself and
husband the balance of their lives
} and the rich and handsome manner in
which she was dressed aud the large
amount of money she had with her in
Dictated as much.
When the true state of affairs be.
came known it created quite a sensa-
ton, as the young gentleman, who il
, said to be quite handsome, is well an,
/ favorably known in and around Rus
