The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-11-25

brought up as a daughter by her guar
dian, her mothers brother, H. D. Latti-
mer, lawyer, of Spencer, and for some
years representative of Clay county
in the Iowa legislature.
Those were golden days in the Spencer
school Terrible were some of the prcb-
lens which Miss Storr found to solve
ne took them to the principal, and often
they remained after school.
And while they worked together, Mas
ter Dan Cupid, all unknown to them,
was entangIing them in the strands Of
another problem which a lifetime is
all too short to disentangle.
In time the young schoolmaster was
called to the head of the Emmettsburg
school, a larger and more important one,
WI a substantial increase in salary.
1t was not until after he had gone and
missed his pretty pupil that he awoke to
the fact that he was in love with her.
He paid a visit to Miss Storr and told
her the story of his love. And she, smil-
ing up at him from under the long cur
tains of her hazel eyes, whispered that
she loved him, too.
You must ask my guardian about it, ="
she said.
THE ANGRY PAPA.
Mr. Lattimer was furious.
Young man. he said; you are pre-
sumptous. My niece is an heiress, worth
$4,000 in her own right. l shall bid her
have nothing more to do with you
Poor Case. He went back to his school,
after bidding his sweetheart an affec-
tomato farewell.
Your uncle is right, DEAR he said
''You are not for me. But shall never
cease to love you"
Il shall be true to you forever" whis-
pered the girl, weeping. But she was a
dutiful girl and she promised her uncle
too he
pedagogue.
At the end Of the school year Case re-
signed and went back home to Halls
Corners. He could not bear the air of
Iowa.
Miss storr began to droop. Her health
failed. Her aunt, alarmed, packed up her
trunks and took her to Europe.
Some sympathetic friend wrote to Case
where his sweetheart had gone. He
wrestled with the problem for a time and
then he determined to follow her.
He traced the aunt and niece to Lon
don, Liverpool Glasgow, Paris. He fol-
lowed them to Rome. He found they had
gone to Egypt, and he pursued them to
Cairo and Alexandria, only to find that
had gone back to Switzerland. He went
to Berne. Here he took an inventory of
his money and found he had barely $100
left. II must go hOme," he said sadly.
THE MEETING.
On his way to the station he saw her
IN the street He leaped out Of the cab
and ran to meet her. With a glad cry,
she greeted him.
Il viii marry you tomorrow, she said.
81 am Of age now, and they cannot pre-
vent it If they would. Come and tell
aunt"
Mrs. Lattimer was astounded. But she
was a wise woman, and the wedding was
celebrated next morning In the Protest
ant Episcopal church in Berne. and q
cable was sent to the uncle in America.
When the welded pair reached Berlin
they found a message from Mr.. Lattimer
disowning his niece. But she laughed.
Just before they started for this coun-
try they received d second letter from the
guardian. He said he had made inquiries
and found the young mans character
above reproach. So he had decided to
forgive them and to give Mr.. Chase
a place in his law office. He begged them
to come home
They are now visiting In Halls Corners
and Will soon start for Spencer, Iowa.
Mr.. Lattimer's guardianship of his
niece's estate has been so wise that II
is now worth $4,000. SO alPs well that
ends well.
