EL0PED WITH PAPA,
Pretty Mamie Miller Robs Her Mothe
of a

Pretty Mamie Miller Robs Her Mother
of Husband.
My daughters eloped with my hus-
band" said Mrs. Herman Buel, as she
seated herself in the Office of Law & Inger-
soil, at 40 Broadway, yesterday morning
She was very much excited, and after
making the above ejaculation she had to
breathe hard and wait several minutes be-
fore she could go on with her story. Even
then she broke down and wept most all the
time. In the first place she wanted TO know
how she could have both her husband and
her daughter arrested. Then she changed
her mind and wanted divorce at once.
After great deal of persuasion she Gained
herself and told Mr.. Law the story of how
it all happened.
Mrs. Buel is woman probably 40 years of
age, rather good-ooking, with a fine figure
and iet-black hair. She has been married
twice, and was formerly Mrs. John Miller.
When her first husband died he left her with
pretty young daughter named Mamie, and
a snug little fortune. Mamie was sent away
to a boarding-sehool in Washington, where
she remained for about three years. During
TINS time her mother met Herman Buel at
Paienvllle. up in the Catskiil Mountains,
and before the summer was over, two years
ago, she had learned to love a second time,
because she thought Herman was model
young man and would protect her. Herman
is really handsome fellow, TALL fair-haired,
and at present only 26 years of age.
Somehow Herman never saw his ste :
daughter until she returned home to her
mother for good, just before the holidays,
having spent the previous six months with
her aunt in Paris. The moment pretty Ma
mic was safely installed in her home Mrs.
Buel could not help noticing how attentive
Mr.. Buel was to her. Mamie is pretty
girl. just 10 years old, well educated and I'M
usually attractive. Mrs. Buel admitted
that she had kept her daughter away from
home because She was afraid Mamie would
make things very unpleasant for her STEP
father. But to the mothers temporary de-
light Mamie seemed TO like him from the
first. In fact, she liked him too much, but
then. "Wny should a father not kiss his
daughter and be real good to her?" argued
Mrs. Buel with herself on many occasions.
Last summer there were some legal co IL
plieati0Ds about farm she owned near
North Lyme. Conn.,, and it was thought best
to have Law 4 Ingersoll handle her prop
erty. Since then Mr.. Buel has simply en-
joyrd himself on his wife's money, aud since
Mamie'S return he has DEVOTED great deal
OF time in making things pleasant Tor her.
When Mrs. Buel was not feeling well Mamie
and her father would attend the theater
tosether, aud, OF course, there was little
supper afterward; but the wife, who was
paying for 1t all, never said "A word until one
time her husband aud daughter did not turn
up until O'clock in the morning. Then she
demonstrated, saving it was not right to
keep Mamie out SO late. Wednesday night
Mamie announced that she would like to go
to Washington TO visit some of her old
school chuns. Thursday she packed two
huge trunks and got 500 from her mother
for expenses, saying incidentally she would
see about having her name changed while
she was away.
Mamie left. ostensibly for Washington,
Friday morning, wearing all her own jew
ery and some of her mothers diamonds,
Just to make an impression at the capital, :"
she said. Her father took her to the train,
and Friday night after dinner said he was
going uptown to meeting, and would not
be back till late. Mrs. Buel retired and did
not wake until o'clock yesterday morning.
Buel had not returned. That was strange,
because he had never remained away from
home all night before and his wife felt
justly uneasy. She ate her breakfast alone,
aud as she fingered at the table the bell rang
and messenger delivered the following
message, dated Albany:
Changed mind; did rot go to Washington.
Papa and / leave this morning for Quebec.
Wont be back. Your daughter,
MAMIE BUEL.
Mrs. Buel rushed upstairs and found that
her husband had taken $500 she had in
500 bill aud diamond bracelet, valued at
$3.50. When Mrs. Buel finished her story
she sobbrd as though her heart would
break. She finally decided to let the guilty
