Sylvester Powell, says the Farimont
Times, is an lbl ian lad from Highland.
whose name has not always ben Powell:
but was changed when he came to this
country on account of the length of his
real nawe. He Il famous violin and
guitar player, ard in the sunny gar
dens of his native home he spent hours
twanging out little 1--we songs on his
guitar. His music Ind a bad effect on
the little oliye-coloayl maidens of the
community, and it was not long before
he could have had amy of them, but Syl-
vester, or Padaforque il, or whatever his
name is, longed for sther things, and
one day took notio:r TO come to the
great America, the lind Of the Angl-
lais. He clnc TO Highland q short time
after landing, and d,l coal in tile day
time and picked little love songsa t
night. Once DE went b Ohio on a visit,
and all day long he eat around his
friends home playing his guitar, A lit-
tie maid, barely sixteen, heard his music
and could not resist it, so she came to
him and they picked m, a friendship.
She told him that she WI Sborn in far
away Assyria and that tlcr name was
Yyonne Debnar, but thaf she changed
her first name when she lime here to
Maggie. Every day Sylvester picked a
little love song for ler, drl every day
she became more and more attached tc
him and his music. Finafy, one night
they planned TO elope. a daring plan
was made and executed. They walked
to Wheeling and took u train to Fair
mont and from there they went to High
land, where he dug coal all day and
played love songs to his little sweet
heart at night.
In their elopemeut plan the only thing
they left out was the marriage license.
This they forgot; "But what does that
NATTER" said Alaggis; I'VE are the same
as married" They lived happily for a
long time. Their world was bright
one, with nothing but the lack of cars
to disturb their happiness. But one day
there appeared in the village the mother
of the girl, who came to take her dlugh-
ter home, but Maggie did not want to
go, and for several days She hid in the
cellar of her home. After while the
mother seemed to disappear and then
Maggie came out Of her hiding place and
resumed her duties as the lady OF the
house. Tuesday of this week big dep
uty sheriff came ito her door and put
her and her husband under arrest and
brought them Ito Justice Amos office,
where the mother, Mrs. Pauline Sell
Pielt Debnar, upon catching sight of her
fair child, rushed and grabbed her and
bestowed big Assyrian kiss, and told
the justice to dismiss the case, that she
would punish no daughter of hers. The
child promised to go home with her an,l
forsakc the dear Sylvester, and Forever
afterwards be true to her parents and
mary the man they wanted her TO.
Last night they got on the evening train
and went to Wheeling, and from there
they will walk TO their little home in
Ohio.
And Sylvester, or Padaforquair, Pow
ell will forever pick his love songs on
his guitar and the charms OF his mu-
sic will some dny attract another young
maid to his love and friendship.
