It is said that half the British peer
age derives its origin from one or 9TH
er of these border unions; and, al
though this is doubtless an exaggera-
ton, there are scores of aristocrats to-
day who would have been nonexistent
but for the temptation Gretna Green
offered to their headstrong ancestors.
Many an embryo peer Of the realm has
stood before the improvised altar in
the blacksmlth's shop or dollhouse and
left In q happy man. The houses OF
Vllliers, Coventry, Paget, Fame, Beau
clerk and many another noble and his
toric name have had their destinies
shaped in the Dumfriesshire village.
One Of the most historic and, ro-
mantle Of all Opponents was that Of
John Fame, tenth earl of Westmore-
land, with pretty Sarah Child, the
only daughter and heiress of "old
Child" the wealthy banker Of oster'
Icy Park. It was the daughter Of this
union, Lady Sarah Fame, who brought
the Child money bags to the noble
house Of Jersey, and in many another
case has Gretna Green introduced new
blood and wealth into England's great
families.

With Mrs. Margaret Parker or Cliff
ton Hall, Westmoreland, who died a
few weeks ago at the age Of 88, the
last of all the hundreds Of brides who
were wooed and carried away across
the border to Gretna Green disap-
peared, and one of the most romantic
chapters in Cupid's history was finally
closed.
1t is Just sixty-one years ago since
Mrs. Parker was carried borderwards
swift as an impatient lover and horses
feet could take her, and for more than
forty years she led an ideally happy
life with her romantic husband. Mr..
Parker, 1t is interesting to note, was
no novice at runaway weddings, for he
had made one previous trip to Gretna
Green with the daughter of Col.
Youngson of Bowscar, who was Just
on the eve Of being sent to India to
be married to young army oficer.
On this first adventure the irate faith
or, In true fiction style, gave hot chase
and arrived at the scene OF the bridal
a few minutes too late to disappoint
his son-in-law.
Another interesting survival Of the
romantic days Of Opponents was Car
oline Margaret, dowager marchloness
Of Queensberry, who died quite recent
ly at the age Of SO. The marchioness
was the youngest and prettiest daugh-
ter of Gen. Sir William Clayton, bart,
who objected strongly to Lord Drum
lanrig's ardent wooing of his 1e-year-
old child. What could the young low
ers do in face OF such implacable OPP
position but hurry away across the
border, where obdurate parents could
safely be defed?
SO one night in early June, 1910,
Miss Caroline and her lordly wooer
mounted their horses and never rested
until the obliging blacksmith at Gret-
ma Green had made them one.
The marchloness always retained

TIMELY SLUGGING
WON FOR KISMET
STANDING OF THE TEAMS

In a loosely played but interesting
game In the Royal Arcanum League the
stroiig team from the southeast repre-
senting Kismet Council defeated Ma
tional Council at the White Lot yester-
day.
The battery work for Kisrnet was
largely instrumental IN the result, Gates
being credited with thirteen put-outs and
Clarke striking out eleven batters. The
errors OF the National team figured
somewhat heavily IN the score. especially
IN the sixth inning. when this feature
coupled with a half dozen hits, one a
two-bagger by Clarke, netted as many
runs.
