ROMANCE OF A say CUPID.
Two Lovers, Parted for Fifty Years,
Find Each Other.

Find Each other.
A strange story comes from
New South Wales in which Cupid
is shown to work in mysterious
ways.
Fifty years ago Jane Graham
and David McMurtrie were lovers
in their native town of Ayr, Scot
land, says the Brooklyn Eagle. In
1853 a disagreement arose be-
tween them and they parted, never
to see each other again until Au-
gust, when they were married.
During this long interval until the
beginning of the present year
they were in entire ignorance OF
each others whereabouts.
Several curious condolences
tinctured the romance as though
it were the creation of a novelists
brain. After their estrangement
it appears that Miss Graham mar
ried John McMurtrie, also of Ayr,
but no relation Of David McMur-
trie. The young couple went to
Australia, and after nine years OF
pioneering settled in Orange,
where they reared - children.
John McMutrie died several years
ago, but his widow, who is great
grandmother, still resides in the
district.
David McMurtrie, the hero OF
the story, also married in the fiji
ties, and became the father of il
children. In November last he
visited Queensland to see one of
his sons who had settled there,
and on January 10 he departed on
his return to Scotland.
1t was an eventful voyage for
him, for by a strange chance it
brought him news of the sweet
heart of his youth. On the same
boat were two sons of John Nc.
Murtrie, and one day while in Mel
bourne a letter addressed to "Mr.
McMurtrie" arrived. 1t was for
the McMurtrie of Scotland, but it
was delivered to one of the young
err men, who opened it and found
that it was not meant for him.
Eventually the rightful owner
received his letter, and made in
quiries. These revealed that there
were others of his name on board.
From them he learned that their
parents were born in Ayr, and that
their mothers name was Jane
Graham. In return he told of his
cOurtship in the year 1853, and
asked the young men to send to
their mother a photograph of
himself, with a request that she
{ would write to him
A correspondence between the
old lovers followed. He proposed
marriage and she accepted him,
and he went to Sydney. Waiting
for him on the wharf was his old
love of 1853. That same evening
! they were married.
