wH1rEcAPpEns NOW HAPPY.
A Young Man Dodged Summer Girls
and Won a Widow,

sAe0 W va - w sN0 W.
New Brunswick, N. J., Aug I4.-some
residents of this city who are spending
the summer up In the mountains back OF
somerviiie. In the vicinity of Grand View,
are said to have participated In a white
cap escapade, over which they are now
laughing.
The story. as they tell It. il that among
those who sought the cooling breezes
which play about the mountain famhouses
was Gottlieb Yeager. a rather goOd-look-
ing young German. who was born near
Berlin. but who bad lived In New York
for the last few years. his good looks and
engaging MANNERS made him . fsvorite
with the women.
It would appear that one day a short
time ago Ycager started out alone to ex-
plore the regions not usually visited by
the summer boarders. He was ON foot,
and toward midday he came upon . neat
farmhouse few miles from Grand View.
He was thirsty and there was an old
fashioned we'll with q sweep in tho yard.
He cntereed and asked the woman who an
swered his knock for drink She proved
to be Mrs. Elizabeth Jenners. She was
glad to give the desired refreshment, and
even drew IL from the we'll Then It would
appear the couple sat down for q talk and
Yeager learned that his benefactor was
widow, whose husband had died less than
five months before, and that she was try
ing toadd to her income bytaking boarders,
but her house was too far back In the
mountains, and she had failed to obtain
anyone.
The conversation ended by Yeager Gu
gaging board with her, and two days later
ne bade his friends goodby and announced
that he was going farther back into the
mountains to obtain better air. A buck
board was sent after him by the widow,
and he placed his traps on It and started
for the farm. The women whom he LEFT
behind wondered what had induced him 70
forsake their comfortable boarding house,
and an investigation was set on foot to
find out what the attraction was.
They soon learned to whom the buck.
board belonged, and it was not long be-
fore they knew where Yeager had gone,
and had CLEANED pretty fair idea of what
bad induced him to change. The men
boarding at Grand View also learned what
had happened, and determined to have
some fun with Yeager. He was the only
boarder OF the widows house, and they
saw chance in this to play little game
on him.
A whitecap letter was drafted and sent
by mail to Mrs. Jenners. The letter read:
I'VE the summer boarders Of Grand
View. hereby warn you that the presence
of a young man at your home, under the
flimsy guise Of being boarder, is dis
grace to the morals Of the community
and unless this condition Of affairs is
speedily ended by your marriage to the
young man. we shall proceed to give you
both coat OF tar and feathers upon the
first opportuD ity."
The Joke turned on the writer's when
next day they learned that Yeager and
Mrs. Jenners had driven to the home Of q
minister and had been marned.
