when he returned.
 ] The result of this visit was the dis covery that his daughter had not been there during the evening. The plan was immediately surmised, but. how to stop it was a puzzle. There were no trains available for St. ,Jo. seph until the next morning, and it would be impossible to reach that city in time to headoff the wedding. To set out in pursuit in a wagon after the start the runaways had secured was equally impossible. The telegraph office was closed, and it did not open until ten o'clock in the morning, which would be too late to send an order to the marriage license off cial If word could be gotten to him the father knew that the mar riage would not take place. His daughter was under age, and his com sent was needed. This he had no in tention of giving,
 ! It was a predicament for father, and it looked like an easy victory for Cupid. Fate was against them, how ever. It happened that a severe storm had done considerable damage to the telegraph wires throughout
 that section of the country, and a gang of linemen were working dur ing the night repairing them.
 One of these gangs included an operator with wire tapping apper- atus. Father met them on the way home, and the idea occurred to him. The wires were working into St. Joseph, and he persuaded the opera tor with couple of dollars to send la message to the judge at St. Joseph. When Arthur and Agnes presented themselves the next morning at the end of their long ',ide. the judge well |comed them. k "Oh, yes" he said, T know all about you, but I am sorry to say that I lcan't issue the license.

True Account of Two ROmances Which Shows That EIopements Occasionally Fall to Lead

Runaway lovers are not always sue cs,ssfuI. The record of failures at tains proportions of some magnitude. Frequently the would-be bride is brought home to mother and father in tears, and only the age of the .would-be groom prevents him from being spanked.
 As the father can call on the po- dicenen. and the magistrates to help him, he is a favorite in this matri- monial handicap, unless the runaways have secured several laps ahead on him
 The Chicago Tribune says that as the result of one of these affairs Mrs. Jessie Borngesser is applying to the courts in St. Louis to get her hus- band back. Father caught up this time little late, but in time to cause the separation. The marriage ceremony had taken place, but he grabbed his son by .the coat and marched him off, despite the tears lof his newly-wedded wife.
 Jessie cried, but Harry, her hus- sband. was taken back home and locked up in his room. That was a direful plight for new husband, but Harry could not mend matters, Meals were brought in to him and lectures were read through the key hole. He stormed and threatened, but 1t did not do any good.
 Meanwhile his wife was endeavoring ito m out. She appealed to law yer , decided that writ of habeas corp s would solve the problem, and Judge Mcdonald took hand in the matter. He summoned the father to appear before him and show cause why 8 writ should not be granted, and his son restored to 1ib-

A CAT ON THE STAGE.
Belasco's Animal Took Her Cue With
 the Best of Them.

the Best of Them.
 Tt often happens" said David Be- lasco while talking about some of the mechanical effects used in '"The Darl- ing of the Gods," that tricks of the simplest description arouse the popu- lar wonder and curiosity to the great est extent, while on the other hand the most original, delicate and daring work passes unnoticed by all save pro- fessional experts. A great many years ago, when I was learning the business of mounting and producing plays, introduced a cat into Hearts of Oak, the play that made the late James A. Herne famous. We had live baby in the play too, which excited a tremendous amount of interest but I think the cat created more talk and wonder because every one is familiar with the habits of that domestic ami mai and knows how difficult it is to teach one to perform even the simplest trick. -e...,
 "Every night, at a certain cue this cat came on the stage, walked across to the fireplace, stretched herself and then lay down in front of the blazing hearth, for we burned real fire in gas log in order to make the scene more realistic and natural. The cat did her part sos easily and naturally that she frequently got round of applause, and it always happened that before we had played three nights in a town the most popular topic of conversation was, How did they ever train that cat to come on the stage, stretch herself and lie down in front of the fire ''
 Night after night the cat took her cue and went through her little act to the wonder and delight of all be- holders. It really seemed like re- markable performance on her part; but after all her education was very simple matter. A few minutes before it was time for her to go on we used to put her in basket just large enough to hold her comfortably with out giving her chance to change her position, and then leave her in a cool place in the cellar. At the proper time she was brought up stairs and released in the entrance in time to answer her cue. Of course, she walk ed across the stage to where the fire was burning, and when she got there what was there to do except to stretch herself as a measure tSf relief after her cramped position in the basket and then lie down in the waNnth of the blazing log? The fact is, it would have been very difficult indeed to train her to do anything else under the circumstances -Collier's Weekly
