There was scene of the widest excite
ment Mr. Neary wanted to go out and
finh the runaway bride. But When he
noticed that the telegram was from New

NOT HARD TO GUESS
There was no doubt as to whom she
had married. Both parents had noticed
With what great regularity "Joe" Nevin
had appeared at the mouse. They knew it
was "Joe," but this did not pacify them.
They wanted their daughter. Down to
date they have not captured her.
Miss Mamie Neary Is prepossessing
little brunette. She is but nineteen years
OF age, and she is of medium height.
She has large circle of friends. Joseph
Nevin is one OF the "Beau Brummeli's," of
Jersey City. He is but twenty years of
age. He is handsome fellow. always
well dressed, with a pleasant word for
everyone and enjoys as large circle of
friends as any young man in the city.
He is wonderfully popular among the
young people of bth sexes.
Joe met Miss Neary about two years
| ago. They have since been inseparable.
For few weeks back they have been
contemplating marriage.
Nevin desired to approach Miss Neary's
parents on the subject, but Miss Neary
| feared the result. Her parents are devout
| Catholics. and as Mr.. Nevin was an
equally devout Protestant. she despaired
of gaining the parental assent. Mr.. Nevin
