ELECTRICAL ELOPEMENT.

Partly out of pique and partly be
cause her parents disapproved o
the match, Tillie promised to elop
with George Webley. 1t wasn't
trivial elopement, a getting mar
ried before the registrar in Londor
and going to Paris for a few weeks
but run to Liverpool, a marriag,
there by special license and trir
by fastest steamship to New York
Arriving there, they would cross
America and gradually work theil
way around the world and back tc
London in a year or two.
George Webley was rich, and
could easily afford this kind of wed.
ding tour. In olden times the par
ents of Tillie Markham would have
been more anxious that their daugh.
ter should marry George Webley
rather than the poorer, but, OF
course, more moral young man,
Tom Bantry. But times had chang
ed, and it was the daughters that
looked for money with their lovers.
The girl admitted to herself that
she liked Tom Bantry best, but
he had certainly treated her very
badly. They had had an appoint
ment sor a picnic up the river, but
without word Tom had gone away,
and worse still he had sent no ex-
planatIon or excuse for his deser-
tion.
So Tillie thought she would teach
him lifelong lesson, and know
ing well that her parents would op-
pose the match and especially its
hurried conclusion, she told George
Webley if he would arrange for the
special license at Liverpool, she
would meet him at Euston station
on the 18th and together they
would journey to the seaport town,
be married and sail for America on
the 2Sth in the powerful Steamship
Erratic.
| Tillie concluded that it was bet.
ter to be married at Liverpool than
London, as there would be less
chance of the escapade being found
out until such time as they chose
to disclose it. Tillie agreed thai
they would write letters to all con
cerned while on the voyage from
Liverpool to Queenstown, and mai
them there when there would b,
nothing but the broad Atlantic be
them and New York.
Tillie met the postman on tn,
steps as she was going out of tn,
house that morning, and he handed
her a bundle of letters. She hat
no time to read them, nor in the
cab, for there was barely time te
reach the station, where she found
Mr.. Webley impatiently awaiting
her. He had strongly advised hel
to bring nothing with her. What.
ever was required could be bought
at Liverpool, he said.
Il was very much afraid we would
miss the train,' he said, as he hur.
ried her out of the cab. Il have re-
served compartment
There's another train, isn't
there p she asked.
'Oh, certainly, but a railway sta
tion is not the pleasantest place
in the world TO wait, and since
left my hotel / seem to have met ev-
cry friend ! have known in Lon
don and all wanting to know where
am going
And, of course, you told them,
said Iillie.
The young man laughed as he
held open the door Of the railway
carriage for her to enter. He quick
ly followed her and a moment af-
ter the 1890 a. IN. train slid ont
out of the great station and began
its northern journey.

tatsd, she addsd:I am going to

The guard personally conducted
her to an empty compartment Of
the London. She scribbled to Web
ley on the back Of telegraph form:
Dear George: I have concluded
not to 60 to America this trip.
Our proposed elopement was a very
foolish affair, and l hope you never
thought was in earnest about it.
Take my advice and 60 to America.

note to the guard with the parting
tip, take that to the young man

give him any information. He will
offer you money, of course, because
he has plenty. Take the money
and tell him 1 have gone to the
country. Tell him any thing you
like, only not where l am really
gone.'
All of which went to show that
Tillie had no conscience.
The guard touched his cap and
departed. After the London train
had steamed away from it's station
the guard handed George the note.
He did not get the money he ex-
pected. A look of relief passed
over the young fellows face and he
swore little. Then he whistled,
and said to himself more than to

Daing Il Well.

| The boy who does just as little %
possible for sa employer sometimes
wonders Why he is not given a high
er position in the business house in
which he is employed, when less
brilliant companion who works for
another establishment is advanced
very rapidly.
A boy about sixteen years of age
had been seeking employment in
one OF our large cities. He looked
vainly for weeks. aud was well nigh
hopeless OF getting any work to do,
when he entered q store kept by q
gentleman whom he will call Mr..
Stone.
The lad asked the usual question,
Can you give me anything to do p
Mr.. Stone, to whom he appealed !,
answered, No, full now Then
happening to notice an expression
OF dependency on the youths face,
he said: IF you want to work
half an hour or SO, 90 down stairs
and pile mp that kiDdling wood.
Do it we'll, and I'll give you twenty
FIVE cents
'All right, thank you, SIR an
swered the young man, and went
below. AS the store was about clos
ing for the afternoon, he came up
stairs and went to Mr.. Stone. 'Ah,
yes, said the gentleman somewhat
hastily. piled up the wood?
Well, here's your money
No, sir; Pm not quite through,
and should like to come and finish
in the morning. said the young
fellow, refusing the silver piece.
All right said Mr.. Stone, and
thought no more Of the affair till
the next morning, when he chanced
to be in the basement, and, recol-
lecting the wood-pile, glanced into
the coal and wood-room. The wood
was arranged in orderly tiers, the
room was cleanily swept, and the
young man was at that moment en-
gagged in repairing the coslbin.
'Hullov said Mr.Stone, Il didn't
engage you to do anything but
pile up that wood
Il know it, sir, answered the lad;
'but l saw this needed to be done,
and had rather work than not.
But l don't expect any pay but my
quarter
'Humph ? muttered Mr.. Stone;
and went up to his office without
further comment.
Half an hour later the young man
presented himself, clean and well
brushed, for his pay, and Mr.. Stone
passed him his quarter.
Thank you, said the youth, and
turned away.
stop a minute said Mr.. Stone.
Have you o place in view where
you can find work.
NO SIR
well, ! want you to work for me {!
Here said he writing something
on slip Of paper, take this to the
gentleman standing by the counter;
he will tell you what to do. Do
your work as well as you did that
downstairs, and-that's all, and
Mr.. Stone turned away before the
young fellow recovered from his
surprise sufficiently to speak.
This happened fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Stones store is more than twice
as large now as it was then, and its
superintendent is the young man
who began by piling kindling wood
for twenty five cents. Fsithfulness
has been his motto. BY it he has
advanced, step by step, and has
not yet by any means reached the
topmost round of success. He is
sure to become partner some day
either with his employer or in some
other business house.
