HE FINDS HIS GIRL.
millionaire Martin Maloney Locates
Her on the Majestic

New York, Oct. S-When the White
Star liner Majestic reaches Queens
town Mrs. Samuel Clarkson, who was
Miss Helen Maloney, the daughter of
Martin Maloney, the papal marquis,
will receive many cable messages from
her parents telling her that her elope-
ment with the young Englishman last
Tuesday has been forgiven and that if
she will only bring her new husband
back to the shadow of the Maloney
roof-tree nothing will be too good for
both of them.
After vainly searching the Atlantic
by wireless messages to every boat
that had left either New York or BoS-
ton since the day of their daughters
runaway marriage, the parents found
that their daughter and her husband
took the Majestic which left here
Wednesday, the morning after Helen
Maloney and Samuel ClarkSon were
married. After the elopement Mr.. Ma
loney Immediately got into touch with
every outgoing boat that was still
within the range of the wireless here
and at Cape Race, Newfoundland.
Fully a dozen boats were startled
last Friday to get queries out of the
air about a runaway girl and her
young husband. Ship captains We're
implored by the parents to tell Helen
if she were aboard that she was for
given and that she could come home
just as fast as the next boat across
could carry her
A letter mailed just before the Ma
jestic sailed said that she had mar
ried the man of her choice, and that
they were going on their honeymoon
and she hoped they would both be for
given. Today it was learned that after
the fruitleSs search of the Atlantic the
father OF the runaway bride had be-
gun to look around nearer nome ana
that some one high in orders at st.
Patrick's cathedral had thought it no
harm to put the girls parents at rest
as to their whereabouts. Maybe Mrs
William Carberry Richie, Helen Ma
loney's older sister whose marriage in
St. Patricks cathedral four years ago
was blessed by the pope, relented and
violated her vows of secrecy which
she made to the young couple at the
time of their haSty wedding.
Now the full story of the elopement
has come out and the reason why
Mrs Richie knows something about
her sisters being on the Majestic is
apparent. She was in league with the
young people and secretly helped
them from Spring Lake with their
trunks and wedding fxings Tuesday.
Helen came to New York ostensibly
on a shopping trip, Clarkson the
guest of the Maloneys, came along
seemingly as a matter of course and
French maid was the third member of
the party for propriety's sake.
Helen Maloney and Clarkson left
the maid at the Waldorf with instruc-
tions that she should await their re-
turn from the shopping trip. Some
time after they had left the maid be-
hind, Miss Maloney and her husband
to-be met Mrs. Richie and the three
of them went to st. Patrick'S cathe-
dral. Mrs Ritchie had previously ar
ranged with some one there. Monseig-
neur Lavelle will not say that he had
a hand in the Gretna Green marriage
that under special dispensation
Helen and her Englishman, who is a
Church of England man, could be
married In the evening, Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarkson boarded the boat. 1t was
about this time that the maid, left
waiting at the Waldorf, sent a tele-
gram to Spring Lake telling Mrs. Ma
loney that something surely must be
the matter with Miss Helen.
