MISCELLANY.
Love and the witches,


1t was little. fearful maid,
Whose mother left her all alone:
Her door with iron bolts she stayed.
And gainst it rolled a lucky stone
F,r many night she'd walked with fright when
witches by the house had flown.
To piping Lutte in st midnight
Who comes asinging at the door.
That s4.oNeth seams of golden Light
Al Co., on, darling, implore;'
Sin. tulid not help knowing twas Love, although
they'd never met before.
She swiftly shot the iron bar.
Aud rolled the lucky stone away,
And careful set the door aiar-
Now enter in. Sir Love, pray:
My mother knows it not, but have watched for
you this many day
with f.r nd roar of gloomy wings
They "a the door a windy shove:
They pefcned on chairs and brOOms and things:
Like bats they beat around above
Poor little maid, she'd let the witches in with Love.
Mary r. wilkins in June Century.

THEY SKIPPED TOGETHER.
A Banner City Elopement in Which
a Wife Figures.

VIE Figures.
During the recent snow storm two
Englishmen who had purchased the
Bethe farm near Banner City came to
Abilene. They took out a big bill of
supplies, amopg the articles being a
quarter of G pound of quinine and jug
of whisky. Whether the last named
had any serious effect or not is not
known but one of the men is in trou-
bic. The Hope Herald tells the story
as follows:
John Ryf, a well-to-do German farm
er living near Banner City, was here
last Friday looking for his wife, a
good looking woman Of about thirty
years, whom Mr.. Ryf has reason to
believe has eloped with young En-
glishman who had been boarding at
Ryf's and who recently purchased the
Bethe farm near Banner, The story
told here by Mr.. Ryf is that he recently
noticed that the Englishma1, John
Izom, was paying too much attention
to Mrs. Ryf and when he spoke to his
his wife in remOnstrance a quarrel
ensued and the Englishman was fired.
That was week ago Sunday. Later
on matters between the husband and
wife were smOothed over and Ryf con-
cluded that with IzOm's going the
trouble was over.
On Wednesday of last week Mrs Ryf
came to Hope to see DR.. Ketchersid,
who has been treating her, but did not
stop, going on to Herington andreturn-
ing home that evening. On the fol-
lowing day, having told her husband
that she had been unable to see the
doctor, she again left, Ostensibly to
come here, but again went on to Her
ingtOn and since that time has not
been seen and the presumption is that
she left with her English lover. This
belief is strengthened by the fact that
Izom was here and called for a dress
made for Mrs. Ryf by Miss Bingham
stating that Mrs. Ryf was going away.
Mr.. Ryf is very much hurt by the
disgrace brought upon him by his wife's
desertion. Our Banner correspondent
speaks of him as worthy man and a
good husband. Mrs. Ryf was a widow
when she married Mr.. Ryf and had
one child. Her name was Elder.
She has two children by her present
husband and left all her little ones
behind. The deserted husband has
not yet abandoned the search for bis
truant wife, though firm in the belief
that she has elOped with IzOm, who is
about her age and has some means.
Izom paid cash for the farm and is
regarded as being we'll Fixed. He tried
to sell team here day or two before
the elopement, but could find no buyer.
He left his farm in charge Of another
Englishman, named Reed, who came
here with him.
