for love OF whom she undertook the a1ven
ture. Tho wedding was at the Barge Office.
The Rev. Mr.. Dalton. a Barge ONCE missionary.
performed the ceremony.
Olivette was not put into any great state OF
nervous excitement by the wedding. She 10
sedate young person OF 20. with pink and
white complexion and tow hair as near white
as ever came out OF Sweden. She is quite una
BILE to understand why her way OF coming from
Sweden to the United States should call for
comment. II was some time before the Barge
Office people could make her understand that
her behavior was such that she would have to
explain II or 20 back to Sweden. Whom Capt
Knudsen Of the Norge turned her over to the
Barge Office authorities he simply told them
that the girl had come aboard at Copenhagen
and had kept in hiding until they were too far
out at sea to send her back. and that she said
she had come to this country TO find her lover.
because she was not happy at homo without
him.
tell them that her lovers name was Arson
Gottorman and that he lived at 215 Twenty
seventh street, South Brooklyn. They sent for
Arson and he came at once. They took him to
see Olivette
"Ay ouda. olivette." said Arson. and grew
red and almost Erlnned.
"Ay ouda, Anson." she answered and looked
at his feet Then she reached out and took
hold OF his hand. Neither OF them looked the
other in the face. Neither OF them said . word
more until the Interpreters began to question
them.
Arson said that It was perfectly true that
Olivette was his sweetheart. He would take
her home to live with his sister in Brooklyn
| and by and by they would be married. He
| stopped down and gathered up the girls kerr
| chief full OF clothing.
| Come. Olivette." he said.
| The inspectors stopped him. They told him
| that yWing men were not allowed to come to
| the Barge ONCE and carry of their lone sweet
| hearts with 30 little ceremony. This was not
| a paternal form Of government. but 1t was m a.
ternal enough for all practical purposes He
| must marry Olivette before he took her away.
She must pay the $40 fine that stowaways al
| ways pay to the Government
"All right" said Arson. The two stood for
half an hour thinking IL over. They moved
only once. THAI was whom the girl let 70 the
| boys han d. and the boy took hold again. No
body heard them say anything. Both Of them
| looked conservatively happy.
| We'll. what are you going to do about it7'
| asked an inspector. who had been waiting for
| them to come to a decision. They both ju m ped
| little.
Arson asked II Olivette could stay at the
| Barge ONCE over night He was told that she
would have to. He said goodbye to her. said
| he would be back in tho morning. and went
| away.
He was on hand early yesterday morning
| with his brother In law and his sister. Arson
paid Olivette's hne with $40 he had borrowed
from his brother-n-la law and the Rev. Mr.. Dali
| ton married them.
| They went home and sat all the afternoon Oh
the plush sofa in tho parlor WITH their arms
around each other. Olivette. whom questioned
| was not inclined to dwell upon her adventures
| She went on board the Norge when nobody was
| looking and crawled into q berth and KEEP,
| quiet until they came for her ticket. What
! then She had no ticket. that was all. The
| captain was kind to her. She won't arou d
| with the other passengers Just as II she had q
ticket. II she had been m an she would have
been put to work in the stoke hole. But she
wasn't man and she was glad Of 1t.
