Il don't believe he deserved her, aft
er ALL" he said to himself. "She's a
mighty handsome girl, but he made
very little fuss about having her torn
away from him.
Two hours later Judge Winslow, red
and angry-for he had 'nursed his
wrath ever since telegram from a
friend, who had seen the young men
Join the girls on the train at La
Grange, disclosed the elopement-
rushed into the room at the station
house to upbraid his undutiful daugh-
ter. He found only his niece, Kate, in
the room, coolly reading a paper.
Where is Levia?" he gasped in dis
may.
.''Well, my dear uncle" said Kate,
calmly, Il am not sure, but I think
that Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Carroll are
just leaving the city for their country
home. At least" looking at her watch,
1T is just train time" e..
What do you mean, girl?" cried the
judge, redder and angrier than ever. .
II mean this, uncle" Kate answered
bravely, "that, as the policeman could
not tell us apart, 1 assumed Levia's
namc and came to the station house as
prisoner and left her and Harry to
carry out their plans: Now, uncle, be
angry if you want to, but be angry
with me, and do not destroy Levia's
happiness by uttering words you will
some day repent"
The judge was so astonished at
Kate's stratagem that he cooled down a
little and she took advantage of this
to plead powerfully for the young
couple, pointing out the good points
in Harrys character, and depicting the
love he bore for Levia so skillfully that
Judge Winston finally said:
"You should have been a man, Kate,
and studied law, for think you would
have made a success. At least you
have made me suspend judgment upon
these young culprits, and I will punish
Levia only by receiving you into the
place she formerly occupied in my
heart
Kate smiled happily as she prepared
to return home with her uncle, for she
we'll knew that no human being could
ever take the place in his affections
which belonged to his only child. And
she was correct in her judgment, for
her uncle allowed his natural generosi-
ty to triumph over his offended pride
and received Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Car
roll kindly when they came the next
day to beg for his forgiveness. Kate,
who insisted that she was the real cul-
prit, was as freely forgiven on condi-
more elopements.

CATCHING HIS FISH.

Itt Was Done When His Friends Were

IL isn't right to spoil good. fish

truth about such things once, in awhile.
At the recent outing of the McFarlane
Hunting and Fishing Club atPenetan-

est oue-day catch Of fish was awarded
to. Philip S. Finn, Says the Pfttsburg.

there and going to the quarters of the

that had been caught by the other
clubmen that day and put them on his

wide sweep in the boat and approached
the boathouse from the leeWard.
There was a colnmotion when the fish

A GIRLS STRATAGEM.

F . "Kate," said Levia Winslow, looking
half-defantly at her cousin, II won't
stand papa's opposition to Harry any
longer. You know Harry is a perfect
gentleman, honorable and industrious,
and it is only because he is compare
lively poor that papa objects to my
marrying him.
But what can you do, Levia? Your
father is as determined that you and
Harry shall not marry as you seem to
be contrary Kate Winslow
said, smiling at her cousins desperate
air. Levia came closer and whispered
in Kates ear:
We're going to elope! And you
must help us-won't you, dear?"
Don't, darling; don't think of such
a thing. Wait and try persuasion with
your father. When he finds out that
your heart is really set on Harry he
surely will relent," pleaded Kate ear
nestiy, for she knew how hot-headed
her Kentucky uncle was and feared the
result of an elopement.
"Pshaw! Kate, I've tried persuasion
and everything else until I'm tired,
and promised Harry last night that
you and would go to Louisville Thurs
day on the morning train. He and
Phil Lee will get On at La Grange and
we will go over to Jeffersonville and
get that famous squire to marry us.
Then Harry and I will begin life to-
gether on his little farm and be happy
ever afterward,'' she ended, with de-
lighted laugh.
Kate argued with her for some time,
but finding that her cousin had fully
determined upon the elopement she at
last gave reluctant assent to accom-
pany her, hoping that all would be for
the best.
Had it not been that she knew that
Harry Carroll was all that Levia fondly
pictured him, she would never have
consented; but she knew that it was
only lack of riches in the suitor
which caused Judge Winslow's objec-
tion to the match, and she believed
that Harry would make her cousin
happier than any one whom the judge
might choose.
The plan worked smoothly, and
Thursday, at noon, two young men, ac-
companied by two charming, pretty
girls, stepped off the train at the Louis
vile & Nashville depot in Louisville
,sAs they did so they. noticed a police
man among the crowd, holding a tele-
gram in his hand. When he saw the
little group he started toward them.
''It's all up with us, Levia," groaned

The. policeman came up at this mo-
'ment and, touching his hat politely,
said:
Very sorry to interrupt you, but
am ordered to stop an clipping party
and take Miss Levia Winslow into
custody until her father arrives to
take her home. Now, which Of these

NOT ENTITLED TO RELIEF,
Opinion by Attorney Duvall in Re-
spect of Claim Filed.

opinion by Attorney Duvall in Re-
spect of Claim Filed.
Mr.. Charles A. Hartman some time ago
applied to the District Commissioners for
relief from paying the tax for 1892 and
penalties on parts of lots 10 and IL, square
S11. 1t appears from a statement of Mr..
A. B. Duvall, the attorney for the Dis
trict. that Mr.. Hartman purchased parts
of lots ., 10 and IL, square s77. in April. 1891,
and May 81, 1892. paid the tax for 1892 on
the part of lot which is improved but
omitted to pay the tax on the parts Of
lots 10 and II, and these lots were subse-
quently sold at tax sale being bid in by the
District.
His omission to pay the tax on parts of
lots 10 and II was due, Mr.. Hartman
claims, to the failure of the assessor of the
District to render bill therefor when he
(Hartman called for the tax bills against
the property. April !, 1896. a certified
statement Of taxes was issued to Mr.. J. I.
Gull, the tax lots 10 and IL for 1892
being wholly omitted therefrom.
Mr. Duvall to whom the Commissioners
referred Mr. Hartman's application, says
that If Mr.. Gull, upon the faith of the GER
tificate, had purchased the property or
advanced money upon 1T and suffered
financial loss by reason Of the omission of
the tax, he would have been entitled to
have the same Cancelled. But the present
applicant states Mr.. Duvall, was then and
is still the owner Of these lots. and not
being subsequent purchaser" he is not
entitled to that relief. despite the fact that
Mr. Hartman claims he was not advised
that these taxes were unpaid until the oath
Of last month.
THE case" says Mr.. Duvall, presents
strong equitable considerations for remis-
sion of at least part of the penalty and
interest. As l have heretofore advised.
however. l am unable to find any authority
of law for the Commissioners to remit pen
altics and interest. They have been ad
Judged Purgdorf against District. App
d. c. 400 to be part and parcel of the
tax Itself. l am. therefore of the opinion
that the application should be denied"
