TWO CHILDREN ELOPE,
Boy of Fourteen ElOpes With Twelve
Year-Old SteD-Sister,

New Haven, onn., Nov 26 Harry Haba,
fourteen years old, and his stcpsister,
who is twelve, are missing from their
home at East Killingby, and their mother,
Mrs. Atwood Mason, thinks they have
ied. They have been fond of each
other ever since they were babies. Harry
is n rugged boy, but he has always pre-
ferred to be with his pretty, frail STEP
sister than play with the other boys.
They read the same books together, and
romances pleased them most They read
love stories over and over again Since
they have been able to read, they have
called each other sweetheart. Often the
boy has talked with his mother about mar
rying Laura. The mother encouraged their
fondness for each other. She never dreamed
that they would think of running away.
The parents had not the slightest hint
of their plans. To be sure, they had been
saving up their pennies nickels and dimes
for weeks, and they have been eager to
get all the money they could. The mother
thought they were preparing for Christ
mas.
They disappeared a week ago last Tues
day. Tney were last seen at Dayville,
going toward the railway station 1t is
believed that they went to Providence
There has not been the slightest trace of
them since.
The mother has caused wide inquiry
to be made for the children. The police
for miles around have been notified to
look out for them. The small elopers took
no clothing with them in addition to what
they had on. Mrs. Mason doesn't know
how much money they had but she is sure
that it didn't amount to more than So OF So
at the most. and probably it was much less
than the smaller sum.
Mrs. Mason is sure that they have eloped
and that they hope somebody will marry
them. She remembers now that their
small heads were always full of that kind
of nonsense. They really thought that no
one outside of the people in the story books
ever loved each other so much as theyloved
Harry is bright youngster, as the fact that
they have managed to keep their where
abouts hidden goes to show.
The children have not gone to any Of their
relatives. Mrs. Mason thinks that she
will hear of them through some country
minister whom they will ask to marry
them. But she fears that in the meantime
their money may be exhausted, and that
they will suffer from want and exposure.
But she has much confidence in Harry's
ability to take care of himself and Laura.

There was an old-fashioned Methodist
service at the Metropolitan. The church

DR.. Johnston preached regular Thanks
giving sermon from firstly to "fifthly, -
closing with the long meter doxology,
Praise God from whom all blessings
flow Among the other causes for thank
fulness. he spoke particularlyof the growth
and prosperity of the Methodist Church,
which. with its 5000, 900 communicates,
numbers one-fourth of the entire church
membership OF the United States.
In this connection he referred to the fact
that there were still two sections, though
happily not factions, of the church Every
indication, he said, pointed toward their
ultimate union as one grand and undivided
body. This was one OF the future blessings
for which the church as a whole should
pray, and its coming would mark the time
for the greatest Thanksgiving Day the
