Their story - gathered In . random con-
versation with Wolley, held by Ttmes-Den-
ocrat .eporser at the Central Station last
light, is a. follows:
Worley is th,rt' yesrs Of age and q prac-
tic,ng physician OF Cascilla. He graduated
from the Tulane Medical School in the class
Of 1ss6-s7. He IS married man having been
married for about ten years, and has four
children and wife In Cascilla, Miss. Nine
months ago he had . misunderstanding with
his wife and since that time, though there
has been NO formal separation, he has lived
apart from his wife. n ~
Ia the rustic hamlet Of Cascilla there
dwelt maiden, Jessie Smith by name, and
this maiden won Worley's heart. Jessie at

had frequent Opportunity Of seeing her on
her way to and from her classes =, 's''
Some time ago Jessie graduated from this
seminary and her folks, not being In excess
sive possession Of worldly goods, tried to in
duoe Jessie to teach = country school. To
the proposition the girl dissented and found
awsrm sympathiser in Worley.
81. Al time went ON Jessie and Worley grew
more and mors intimate. They carried on q
constant correspondence by mail, and dur
ing the last few months Jessie wrcte three
letters 70 Worlsy. white Wosley wFots
twenty letters to Jessie. 5Es.f. t-.Tts
In one Of these letters Jessie said: 1.-THE
folks are try ing to make me teach school
that Is not trying to make me, but tthey want
me to do,it. I will not though, am await
ing the time when shall fly to him love-"
Thus did things wag on until lact 6atuf-
day night. The lovers had aonnlndsd 70
fly, and only awaited the time when Wor-
ley's affairs should be settled up, and Jes-
sic should reach the eighteen-year-old
notch (the age Of majority for women under
the Mississippi law.) On the 2Sth Of Decem-
Der Jessie became eighteen. Everything
was hurriedly brought to climax then
and on last Saturday night the die was
cast.
Worley had lobe very wary. Jessie had
big brothers, burly fellows, with odd notions
about married men marrying maidens. So
when Wcfl,y drew his buggy up In the shad-
ow Of the church on Saturday night he was
careful to see that he was "axed" in case
Of emergency.
A ''protracted meeting was going on In
the church, and when the preaching and
singing was nearly over, JesAie come lquietly
out Of church and went around to the ap-
pointed spot among the shadows. Worley
was there, holding the horses. It was only
twenty miles to the railroad station at Gre
NADIA, and with good driving the miles could
be covered very rapidly. And 10 Worley
whipped up his horses and they sped on
ward at prodigious speed through the woods
Unfortunately Worley's zeal was greater
than his discretion. As the buggy went
rocking along the turnpike, the frightened
horses, urged onward by the whip and the
cries Of the lovers, ran away and the couple
were ignominiously dumped against the boil
Of tree BY the dusty .wayside. Nothing
daunted they gathered themselves together
