y
out my consent, and you will see that l
will do the handsome thing by you"
The rest Of the conversation can be
found in the latest novel. In the end
she promised, and we hardly know
which most to admire, the obedience OF
the daughter OF tho respectability OF the
parent.
She letS the room sobbing, "0h papa,
Of course you are very kind to me to give
me all your money, but do wish l
could have Tony Patterson, too" 1t is
said that crying doea women good, re-
lieves their burdened soula, and no doubt
it relieved poor Liza's. Perhaps it ia on
that account that come men are 90 care
less of the feelings OF their wives,
mothers, sisters and sweethearts. We
call them brutes, but who knows per-
haps they are only philanthropists Civ
ing their dear ones a chance TO cry.
OF 30 kind and sympathetic nature ia
woman that she will laugh at a stale
joke.
1t was resolved that Liza should be
sent to boarding school to overcome
her passion, and accordingly In few
weeks she entered Mulligan's womnn's
college, where at very moder-
ate rate and in very short
time, young ladies are taught French,
music, fancy sewing, Latin, mathemat-
les, the sciences. Catalogue and infor-
nation sent on application. The di-
ploma ia one of the finest published in
Latin, and each young lady is given
translation in English. Here Liza was
introduced to the best quality of young
Indies in the state, and as the news OF
her affair soon reached the ear OF all the
pupils, she became the most popular
young lady in the school.
The, little girls whispered among
themselves about the girl who had
real live beau whom she was not per-
mitted omsrry ,and the larger girls clung
around her gentle figure, no doubt wish
ing thatloye was like the measles so
that it could be caught by infection. As
result OF her coming, every
from the window when she
should have been asleep. Some COM
msnced writing poetry. Jane Shoe
maker complained OF the callousness OF
the shepherd who swept the walk.
Molly Miller cast longing signs for the
milkman and, in short, in Jew weeks
the school was completely in love.
Many freckled-faced and pug -nosed
swain, who now occupied the thoughts
of some tcnder girl, would have blessed
the new boarder il he had only known.
Liza received little notes, which she
pressed to her heart, read dozen times
and put them away in her trunk with
sachet powder, ribbons and violets. A
few OF the girls said that the notes were
thrown in her window, but they all
kept it a profound secret, until at last
the crisis came. One morning Liza's
room was found empty. The girls came
crowding in. With one voice they
cried "She has elopedp' 1t was true.
Miss MuliigRn said something to the
girls about the disgrace to the school.
She went to her room to regret the loss
of good boarder and to write letter
to the girls parents.
II you are angry with your friend take
drink with him; if very angry take
two.
1t was about noon of the day on which
the remarkable event happened at Null
ligan's college, that Patterson and Dash
were sitting on the porches OF their re-
spective stores. paying each other their
dNiiy compliments by looking straight
into the store of the other, with an in
tensely feigned indifference to the pres
ence OF the owner. 1t was their mode
of saying to each other: Il defy tho
store and don't care for the owner" A
messenger came and delivered tsle-
gram to each of the merchants. The
kilograms wers from the next town.
They read: 'We eloped laet night and
were married this morning. We ask
you for forgiveness. Your affectionate
children. sToNY AND ELIZA"
Dash rushed over to Patterson's.
"ThAt confounded son of yours has
eloped with that confounded daughter
OF mine," and Patterson joined in and
they said in unison: "Confound them
Coniound them" Their faces were
livid with anger.
Patterson's delivery wagon was stand
ing in front of the store. Jump in"
he said to Dash, land we will catch them
at the village and have them divorced if
the Legislature has not met last night
and repealed all the laws OF South DA-
kota,N So in. both jumped, and Patti
the delivery horse went at gait that
sadly disturbed her joints, which we're
only accustomed to move at a regular
jog, like some slow, steady and regular
machine.
On they went-the two enemies,
without saying word, sitting ON the
narrow seat with their heads as far
apart as possible. Their figures formed
an angle widening from the wagon seat.
The picture of the angle may be seen in
Davies Legendre. The evening WAS
hot, and Patti needed rest when they
came to the Blue Grass cavern. II

into the tavern. "Give me drink"

Patterson swallowed his first; smile
crowned his features; he handed the
money for both to ihe saloon keeper. II

and Dash finished another glass each.
"How's trade, Patterson"
