Love Will Find the Way.

Love found the way for Horatio
Bigelow, wealthy young man of Bos-
ton, to wed girl whose only dowry
is her wondrous beauty, to brave the
wrath of his rich and aristocratic pa
rents and to start on bridal tour
around the world with an unlimited
letter of credit supplied by his father,
A. S. Bigelow, president of the Boston
and Montana Mining Company.
HoratiO Bigelow only recently fin
ished his twenty-fourth year aud his
education. Coincident With those
events, which occurred few weeks
ago, some shopping sent him to big
department store in Boston, and there
he was waited on by Miss Mary A.
Riese, tall, stately, of commanding
presence, and of beauty which made
her famous in the shopping district.
Miss Riese has the rare combination OF
an almost idealic cast of features, = skin
of alabaster, complexion which Is
perfection, dreamy eyes as black as
sloes, and naturally blond hair of the
rare shade in which there is the faint
est CLINT of gold.
Young Mr.. Bigelow fell in love with
the beautiful salesgirl at sight. He
tried to make her acquaintance, but
she would not have it so. He went
away and the perfect face haunted him.
He sought for information of her and
knew she was as sgood as she was beautl-
full. Through regular and proper
channels he obtained an introduction
to the beautiful girl. and in manly
way made love to her
His affection for the beautiful girl
was shortly reciprocated. He wanted
to marry her, but she advised that he
obtain the consent of his father first.
1t is said that the interview between
father and son when the matter was
brought up was stormy one. Pres
ident Bigelow would not hear of any
such arrangement. The idea Of a son
of his making an alliance with poor
shop girl was preposterous, he insisted,
He advanced all the arguments that
matured and far-sighted fnancier
could summon to his aid and then he
advanced a proposition. If the son
would take a trip around tie world and
try and forget his shOp-girl sweetheart
the old man said he would start him
off with an unlimited letter Of credit.
The son objected and sloquently
pleaded the cause of his love, but
finally, through sense Of flial duty,
he acceded to his fathers wishes.
The letter Of credit, unlimited as to
amount, was provided, and young Ho-
ratio started out on his globe-trottlng
career provided with all the money he
could possibly spend, and President
Bigelow felt relieved.
1t has developed that the young
man had got no further on his world
Journey than Chicago when his love
for Miss Riese overcame every other
consideration, and, leaving the west
bound express train, he boarded the
first one for the coast and arrived IN
Boston the following day. He went
Immediately to the store and told
Miss Riese that life without her was
valueless and that he had come back
to marry her, and that he desired an
immediate wedding. She consented.
Carefully avoiding those portions of
Boston where he would be likely to
encounter his father or any of the
family friends, the young man secured
, marriage license, and at the close Of
business in the department store that
evening, he and Miss Riese were mar
ried at Emmanuel Church, Miss Rieses
family being there to see the ceremo-
ny. Immediately afterward the young
couple boarded train for the far west
and are now on a journey around the
world together, with the fathers un-
limited letter Of credit with which 70
pay all expenses. 1t is now said that
President Bigelow, who is Of the high
est standing in Boston, islikely to for
give his son and take him and his wife
under his roof.
"Yes. said the old man, addressing
