KEPT OUT OF SIGHT.
An Eloping Couple outwit Pursuing
ReIntiy&

A young couple, we'll known in Roam
o1e and residing in small town not
many miles distant, seized upon q
favorable opportunity few nights ago,
and, despite stern parental injunctions,
eloped for Washington.
They were closely followed in their
flight across tho country to Troutville,
where they took the train. The pros
pectivo bridegroom. with remarkable
forothough, had made arrangements
for No. 3 to stop at that point. Tho
irate and pursuing relative, in some
turn of the road, seems to have gotten
ahead of tho loving couple and got to
the station first. His presence there
was discovered, and the youngsters kept
out of sight until he had passed through
tho sleeper, when they lodged in and
ensconsed themselves out of sight. lie
rode Oh the train as far as Buchanan
without getting his eye on them at all
and then gavc up the pursuit.
The young couple are now enjoying
the sights of Washingt ton, and waiting
the forthcoming fond parental forgive
ness and invitation to return.
