a 0krA Prevents Paternal Interfsronce
With Her Wedding.
Ella Sherwood is us plucky as she is
pretty. She loved Franklin Langdon
and could see no reason why his r.
4igion should ne a barrier to their mar
riage. The young man was a Catholic
and her parents were Protestants, but
of no particular denomin ;tion The
father, however, was deld opposed to
his daughter marrying a Roman Cath
Ollie. The. mother and tine rest of the
family favored the match.
The wedding day was set and the
girls family t id to keep it a secret
from her father, but a rival sutton, who
was favored by the father, informed
him of the contemplated marriage
Mr.. Sherwood was hopping mad, AMI
determined to place every OBSTACLE in
the way OF The lovers. About noon on
thu day OF the wedding a carriage was
driven up to the door Of Mr.. Sher-
woods home to convey Miss Sherw Cd
to the side of her lover. As she ap-
peared n her wedding gown Mr.. Sher-
wood attempted to prevent her enter
ing the carriage, but was taken in
hand by his son.
A cross fire Of words on the pave
ment lei to an engagement at closer
quarters, and soon a crowd gathered
to tness the outcome. A policem IN
happened along just then, and Mr..
Sherwood was placed under arrest for
dlsnrt eclV conduct. When he arrive /
at the police station he desired an i'm
Mediate arrangement, but the magis-
trate was no present. and the irate
ia taer had to wa t. After the hearing
Mr.. Sherwood was detained by the
police for some time befo e being final
ls dis,nissesi. Meanwhile the lovers
drove tothc Catholic cathedral, where
they were married by the Rev. c. P.
Ih;mas. and by the time the ang v
father g t out Of the station they were
on their way to New York on their
