girl who, while attending school at Welles-
ley college four years ago, she being then in
her sixteenth year. fell desperately in love
with young Bostonian, whose suit was
frowned upon by the lady's garents Moth
ing daunted, the romantic young couple de-
termined on an elopement The night was
fixed, and the young lover ON the grounds
with carriage and ladder to reach the second
story window where his sweetheart awaited.
All went we'll until the twain were almost to
the ground, when, with a sudden slip, Miss
Radcliffe fell. dislocating her right ankle.
This was serious for the tyoung lover, as the
Young lady tainted from the pain; but pick
ing her up, he carried her to the carriage and
ordered The driver to take him to the nearest
physician. This was DONE and when the
doctor had been reused out and threw aside
the young ladys wraps she proved to be his
niece. Explanations followed, with the re-
suit that the young man was shown the door
and Miss Minnie turned over to the care of
the doctor. This put an end to the elope-

very warm time last evening 1t was nearly
the hour for the curtain to be raised for the
performance of ''Fatinitza' when he was
Informed his presence was required in Mr.
Tetley's room. Mr.. Tetley is the tenor he
was last week sick and unable to fill his part
i'll the production of "Pinafore" When he
returned to the theater this week he re-
quested his salary-S40-but this the manage
ment were not inclined to pay. However, it
was ultimately agreed to pay $50. When
Manager Keuffner appeared before Mr. Tet-
ley that gentleman SO 1t is said bluntly re-
quested the payment of his full salary for
last week. Mr.. Keuffner stood aghast
What do you mean, Mr.. Tetley?' he at
length gathered sufficient breath to INQUIRE.
Il mean what say replied Mr.. Tetley.
You might as well ask for Sl5O, put in
the manager
"Al right give me Sl5Os" coolly responded
the tenor
The manager not having the spare cash in
his pants pockets, politely informed Mr. Tet-
ley he could go, that gentleman having
gently inumated it was mo money no per-
tormance' from him that evening Mr..
Tetiey shook the dust from his feet and
went.
Z There was terrible hurrving aud scurry-
ing when Mr.. Tetley's manly proportions had
ceased to grace the green room of the Park.
Manager Keuffner for the time being was al
most omnipresent, He rushed here, there
and everywhere, and the sweat rolled down
his Teutonic brow like the rain off a ducks
back during June thunderstorm Eventual
ly chaos was restored, a recast made of the
principals, and the performance proceeded.
4 nder the circumstances it may be said to
have been meritorious and Manager Keuff-
ner is deserving of some credit for his pluck.

taken such task

gagement at the Grand. ''Fatnitiza'' will be
