ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT
YOUTHFUL COUPLE MARRIED.
ON THE HIGH SEAS
An Obdurate Father Objected to the
Union, But Glove Found
Way"

A romantic love affair which has been
frowned down by a stubborn father
ended in an elopement and q wedding
CT the high seas yesterday. The inter-
ested parties were Jack Wyatt, Mill
tary looking little bugler, and Eva Per-
l,ins, the 15-year-old daughter of Henry
Perkins.
Wyatt has been courting the youthful
Eva for several months, but his atten-i
tions were disapproved by the girls
father. He objected to his daughter
keeping company with Wyatt, and few
days ago forbade him coming to the
house. If he hoped by this means to
put an end to the love affair he reck-
oned without his host, "for the flame of
love is famed by difficulties"
From this time the courtship has been
carried on clandestinely, and as there
was no hope for reconciliation with tho
obdurate parent, an elopement was de-
cided upon. Saturday night after ev-
cry one had gone to bed and the house
was quiet Eva arose and glided out. Sha
was met by her lover and the two hur-
ried to the house of girl friend, where
Eva remained over night.
The next morning they took an early
morning train to San Pedro. Arriving
there. a sea captain was found who
agreed to perform the ceremony that
would unite the youthful couple as hus-
band and wife. A little yacht was Sc
cured and the parties were soon upon the
high seas and the two lovers were mar
ried by the captain. They then re-
turned to this city and engaged room
at the Chicago house on Main street.
In the meantime the irascible father
l,ad learned of his daughters flight and
guessed the cause. He made every effort
to locate the runaway couple. but was
unsuccessful. In the evening he applied
at the police station for help. He was
Informed that nothing could be done for
him. He then proceeded to the Chicago
house, where he encountered Wyatt. In
great excitement he demanded the resto-
ration Of his daughter. Wyatt blandly
replied that he knew nothing about her
and had not seen her during the day.
Perkins was not appeased, but rushed
out making threats of dire things that
were to follow.
Eva was in room close by and heard
her fathers angry words. AS soon as
he had departed she seized hand bag
ard hurried out. She was met by her
newly welded husband. and the two
beat a hasty retreat from the building,
and ii is understood have left the city to
remain away until the father becomes
reconciled to the union.
