SPIRITED HER AWAY.
How Papa Place Interfered to Pre-
vent an ElOpement
SOME ONE HAD REVEALED THE PLANS
OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE
THEY NAY BE MARRIED AFTER ALL,

LITTLE NECK, Feb. 4.-John Scott
and Emma Place consider themselves
the most miserable of mortals. They
love each other madly, but somehow I'M
sympathetic a~cquaintances nave inter-
fered to upset the well-laid plans of the
young people, and instead of an elope-
ment came discovery and separation.
Scott is a young harness-maker. He
plies his trade in the n~eighboring village
Of Bayside. Miss Place is a pretty girl,
whose father is a prosperous. highly
respected citizen of this place.
The young harness-maker was a pop
ular tavorite among the fair sex In Bay
side. 1t Is alleged that among the young
women was one with fair hair and blue
eyes who believed Scott entertained
towards her a more tender regard than
he did for the other girls In the neigh
borhood. But one day, the story goes,
he met Miss Place, and at once he sur
rendered.
The idea that a Little Neck girl should
walk away with a young man to whom
they had all laid siege annoyed the Bay
side girls, and it is nov claimed brought
upon the mead of the youthful wooer
the misfortunes which have, at least,
delayed the hour of his complete happi-
ness.
The father OF Miss Place objected to
the attentions being paid his daughter
by Scott. He said as much to both
parties, and from eXp~ostulating became
threatening. He refused to listen to any
suggestion of marriage. and ridlculed the
idea that either one OF the young people
had really yet reached an age when
discrimination between love and a pass
ing regard were possible.
So there was nothing else to do than
clone. The whole business was talked
over. The meeting place was arranged,
the preacher selected, and even the
Homecoming and the place for PARENTAL
blessing were talked about. The time
was fixed. Everything seemed TO be go
ing forward as well as the most enthu'
elastic lovers could wish.
But Scott was too happy to keep his
secret. He made a confdant OF one OF
ne Bays.de gi.ls. Tnis Is where he mad'
a mistake. The story reached the ear
Of some one, who failed to see the TO
nance or who had reasons for Tishlnt

as IL may, Papa Place was posted. Al
a result, the young woman, instead o.

At the home OF a popular girl IN tins
city a most uncomfortable halt hour
was recently spent by Il modest youth
who had called to see her. saws the
Louisville Courier-Journal. The youth Is
noted both for bashfulness and nervous
ness. The night in question he went
with a friend to the girls house. lie
took a comfortable seat In Il large arm
chair, and. as was his habit. soon began
to ~nervously poke his fingers into tracks
and holes OF the ornamental part OF the
chair.
lie showed one finger into, a hole in this
manner, but found to his diSnaay that
his knuckle positively refused 20 come
back through the hole. The more the
young man worked to release his ilnBer
the harder 1t was, as the finger became
swollen.
The youth was too bashful To mem
ton the ridiculous predicament into
which he had gotten himself. but man
fully bore the pnIu in silence. lie suf,
fcred untold agony for fear his friend
, would go before he released his finger.
Finally the hostess noticed his apparent
uneasiness. The youth with many
! bushes then told the cause. II was NOT
until half an hour later that the bashtul
youth and the chair parted company.
The butler finally succeeded in releasing
the finger with the aid Ot a hatchet and

PARIS, Feb. 4.-The Princess Colonna,
daughter of Mrs. John w. Mackay, sailed
for America on Wednesday. This news
set at rest a rumor that she and her
husband had become reconciled on his
giving a satisfactory pledge of good con-
duct in the future.
After the French court allowed the
Prince the right to see his children twice
n week the Princess found her situation
i%ntolerable. Besides, from the elaborate
recantations by the French press of its
earlier seventies, her friends augured
unfavorable action by the French court.
Hence 1t was determined that she should
remove from its capricious Jurisdiction.
The Princess. with her three children,
left the Hotel Brighton on Tuesday even

Mrs. Mackay remaining behind to lull
suspicion. The spies Of the Prince and
the domestics waited up until 3 o'clock

Mrs. Mackay Of what she already knew.

Mrs. Mackay quilted the Hotel Brigh-

known only to her counsel.
Princess Colonna is the daughter of
Mrs. John W. Mackay by her former
husband, Mr.. Bryant. She met Prince
Colonna In Italy twelve years ago, while
on a tour with her mother. He followed
her and proposed marriage, although in
formed that Miss Mackay was only a
~step-daughter of the millionaire, and
would therefore ave no legal claim to
his fortune. The Prince, nevertheless.
persisted, and as ne came from a family
that rivalled the royal family itself, and
insisted that it was a case of love, and
not money, he was &C opted.
In 1883 they were welded in Paris, and
the event was a brilliant one. After the
ceremony an income of SITS, 900 a year
was settled upon the Princess by Mrs.
Mackay, in addition to valuable presents.
The cot,ple settled in Naples. and In
six months the Prince began demanding
money. II was then learned that he was
not only dissolute and a gambler. but
cheat as well. He was expelled from the
Jockey Club. in Rome, for hiding cards,
and 1t IL said that Mr.. Mackey settled
his gambling debts to the amount OF
$1,000, 0C0.
