for Six Long Years.
There is a cute baby, full of plump curves
and pink dimples. up on the Weider farm,
near Phillipsburg, n. j., says special to
the New York World. It cannot even utter
the word mamma" yet, for it is only few
days old, but it has nevertheless divulged
secret concerning which the two persons
vitality interested have been silent for six
years. And one Of these persons is a woman,
too.
Inc little newcomer blinks at the sun
shine and COOS in the most happy and un-
concerned fashion, little knowing that i
advent on the farm has caused such a sensa-
ton as to make the great tongue CT Warren
county wag in a most unprecedented
fashion. Had the youngster forseen this
connection, with gener us, filial instinct
IL might have postponed its visit for Six
years more But nature is inexorable in
some thing, and the young one, from all
appearances, is here to stay, and James
Iasley and pretty Annie Weider, two of
the most eligible young people Of the
county, are eligible no more. They are
married, having kept to themselves the
secret OF their union for six long years.
Farmer George Insley resided near Still
broad and well kept, and the name of
Insley is Synonymous with thrift and in
legrity. The family is well to do and ac-
counted rich, as people go in this section.
len years ago David Weider settled ON a
large farm adjoinining the lnsieys and
prospered and grew in the esteem of his
neighbors. Both families had grown sons
and daughters, healthy and handsome
young people, who were the life of all
erafhQrinnc a &c Of
natural that of this material should spring
q love affair. Surely no one could blame
James Insey for losing his heart to Annie
Welder. She was the youngest of Farmer
David Weider's children, viacious and
city, besides possessing all of those quail
lies which promise gentle mother and
mod country housewife.
BuxOm Annie was II then and James was
paragon of punctuality in paying his
court. There were tAo years of rosy love-
making, when, suddenly, insley's parents
became bitterly opposed to the match No
reason was given + + the objection, but it is
said the old folks told James that Annie
Weider should never enter their home as his
wife. James was dumfounded, but easily
saw way out of the difficulty without dis
obeying the letter of his parents inju C ion
The Weders, hearing of the object on, then
said at Annie should not marry any one,
as the loss of such a treasure would leave
desolate one of the best homes in Warren
county.
The young people, however, continued on
the best of term, while they apparently
gave up the intention of marrying, and the
old folks looked sternly at each other as
they passed by. So six years passed away.
during which time Farmer In ley was laid
to rest in the country cemetery. While
Mrs. Insley was the nominal head of the
house, all che responsibilities devoIved upon
James. The old man had died with
out withdrawing his objection to
Annie Weider. James and Annie " ere ap
parently no more than very dear friends,
dutiful to their parents, and patiently
awaiting a reversal of toe decree which
kept them apart.
The sh ok came few days ago. There
was baby up at Weiler's, and Annie was
the mother. Such a sensation! Then the
young people made a clean breast of the
whole matter. Six years ago they quietly
went to Preacher Miller of Easton and
were married. They lived six secretly
happy years, with no one to share their Sc
creJs but tile old minister. and
were contented to live six more
in the same fashion awaiting parental
approval But the baby! James produc cd
the certificate nd the minister corroborated
the story. Young Insley had no de ire to
take his wife home while his parents lived.
and was too good son to desert his mot er
in her gray old age Hundreds of friends
have visited the farmhouse to see the little
one who divulged a great secret, and
though the young people still live at their
re pective homes, the time is very near
when there will be great big reunion up
at the Insley and Weider farms.
