not husband, after the marriage,
could not take his bride from her
father and bring her to his home.
The English family threatened all
sorts of punishment for the bride
groom; the Breckenridge family prom
ised all sorts Of reprisals. Meanwhile
the roor little bride, deprived of her
husband Of an hour, was weeping
away at home as II her heart would
break.
And that was the final straw that
broke the camei's back of the fathers
hitherto unrelenting resolution. Dr.
English couldn't bear to see his pretty
little daughter weeping all the time
and begging to be allowed to see her
young husband.
do you really love him?" demanded
the doctor, when he found that i'm
prisonment at home was doing not a
bit OF good. more than anything In
the world" sobbed the girl. "Oh.
can't I see him for Just little min
ute? Won't you see him? Won't you
talk to him."
The L'Anse sentinel., 1908-09-12

Il For just day DR.. English hold out.
Still little Mrs. Breckenridge kept On
weeping. Then he gave in.
'T'll forgive you," said Dr.. English,
taking the girl wife In his arms. II
guess you love him and I guess he
loves you. Wen send for him right
away"
The Forgiveness.
The next minute DR.. English was
at the telephone calling up the Breck-
enridge home, and finally he got
Clark Breckenridge himself on the
wire. He had learned that under
West Virginia law the marriage was
perfectly legal. and 1t was the father
in-law, not the son.in-law, who found
himself forced to give in.
Come over" he said. You're for
given, but don't do 1t again"
1t took young Breckenridge only a
few mintues to dash over to Redstone
township to claim his bride of 48 hours
before. There were kisses and hand
shakes all around and off went the
bride, suffused In smiles and tears, to
make her new home with her young
husband
Now the perjury suit 10 dropped and
the habeas corpus proceedings are
quashed.
After ell" says DR.. English, II
can't blame them SO much. I might
have done the same thing myself"
The bride is the youngest daughter
of DR.. English, very well-known ply
sician. He has magnificent farm,
well kept and stocked. The mother Is
dead. All the family are high-spirited.
There are three daughters, all bright
and vivacious. The eldest Is the wife
Of Charles G. Carter, a leading young
lawyer of Brownsville. Josephine, the
second daughter, is single. A son, B,
j: English. M. D., died recently.
The children inherited money from
their mothers relatives, and a recent
sale Of coal acreage gave Ethel $4,000
from that deal alone. And she has
other money. The father wanted the
girl to go to school, but she opposed
and 1t is believed fear of being sent
to some tight-laced institution had
much to do with this elopement.
She was approaching the romantic
age and took the first man who asked
her. In this case the man was quite
attractive. He is handsome young
fellow, immensely popular with young
women. He Is the eldest son of vii
liam Breckenridge, a rich retired hotel
man. The lad has always had free
hand with money and his latest ex
plot was to drive his fathers auto
mobile to the point of exhaustion In
running away with his bride.

FARM WORK BY PRISONERS.
A Danish Plan to Improve Barres
Heaths Of Jutland.

Realizing that crime in many in
stances is the result Of early environ
ment, which made the criminal what
he is, the Danish government takes
a paternal interest in those who are
brought within the charge of the
prison authorities" said Eric Her
land, lumber merchant Of Trav-
erse City, Mich. who has been on .
visit to his native land, Denmark.
Denmark still possesses in the
heaths of Jutland large undeveloped
territory that requires much labor
to make 1t suitable for agricultural
purposes" continued Mr.. Herland.
"Of late years. however. many farms
have begun to dot this Jutland land
scape. Through persistent efforts
trees are now in evidence where for
merly the heaths were barren ex.
cept for unbroken stretches of ling.
Acres of grain bearing soil have
replaced the tough underground that
was good for nothing but the torch.
"The work of reclaiming the DAN
ish heaths has been accomplished
largely through the cooperation OF
the Danish prison authorities and In.
dividuals who wished to embark In
farming on their own account and had
no means Of buying ground. In such
instances every inducement is Of

ity. 1t is here the prisoners do the
preliminary work.
"A freedom which will not infringe
on the regulations necessary to keep
up discipline is enjoyed by the pris-
oners on the Danish heath, but
the work is no child's play. Severe
as the labor is, however, seldom is

PICNIC FOR THE PUP.
His Devotion to Duty Rewarded by
Strange luxuries.

A Boston bulldog owned by George
II. Clapp was so determined to cap
ture woodchuck which he had chased
into its den that he followed after and
staid in the hole all night.
When the dog had got his jaws
about the enemy he found that he
could not get out owing to the small
size OF the animals hole.
Rather than lose his prey the dog
retained his hold on the woodchuck
over night, and was helped out by his
master in the morning. The dog was
nearly exhausted, and revived after
feeding and drinking in a. curious man
ner.
He consumed about two quarts OF
unguarded ice cream, which had been
set aside for party, and capped the
climax by falling into a bucket of lem

though little frightened at what they
had done. The news had gone ahead
Of them. Friends Of both bride and
bridegroom, the families and relatives
and big wagon drawn by mules and
filed with serenaders was at the sta
ton. Besides. there were the two Sis
ters and two brothers Of the BRIDE
the sisters to give her piece Of their
mind and the brothers to take It out
of Clark Breckenridge.
The sisters started toward young
Mrs. Breckenridge the moment she
stepped of the car. True to her new
dignity the bride resented their inter
ference. The sisters sought to drag
her home. The bride wouldn't have 1t
at all and there was a hair-pulling
match right in front Of everybody.
It was rather a sad ending for such
a pretty little romance. The brides
family were all trying to get her to go
home; the Breckenridges and their
friends were equally determined that
Clark's bride be let alone. The bride

lish, the brides father, did perfectly
right in tearing the romantic Mrs.
Breckenridge away from her indig-
nant young bridegroom. The other
half, with equal emphasis, feels for
the young man. Why shouldn't he
marry the girl Of his heart, seeing
that she had money of her own and
he a good POSITION at good salary for
one of. his years. and is heir to nice
fortune besides?
The Wooing.
1t only began the other day, when
Ethel English, school over for the
term, went to Carmichaels, Pa, to
visit her cousins, the Baileys. At the
same time young Breckenridge had a
vacation and he went to Carmichael's,
too. And there he met pretty Miss
English-vivacious, clever, pretty az
picture and young and romantic to
her finger tips.
sHe had met Miss English casually
before. in Brownsville, where he lives
but there were plenty of other young
chaps around then and he was only
one Of fifty. But here at Carmichaels
the field was clear for him. Miss
Ethel did not know single other soul
In all the town except her relatives
the Bailey family. and when young
Mr.. Breckenridge touched his hat in
the street to the pretty little girl from
Brownsville she colored a bit and
stopped to speak to him.
What brings you here?" she asked
lnterestedly.
"Oh. I'm just ON vacation" said
the young man.
Isn't that nicer" exclaimed Miss

young Breckenridge telephoned for
another car, and in half an hour 1t
chug gchugged up and once more little
Miss English smiled. They hurried
along swiftly in the second car to
Washington, and there put the auto
in a convenient garage, all three TAX
ing the train to Steubenville, o.
And here their troubles really be-
gan. Fearing pursuit all the time. the
youngsters wanted to get married Just
as soon as they could. Meanwhile the
angry father Of Miss English and the
angry father Of Miss Bailey began to
think that something was wrong.
The trio had only been going osten-
sibly to the Dawson races near by, and
why had they not returned? Soon the
telephone wires in all directions were
made hot by the two fathers, trying to
locate the fugitives.
BY this time they were at the coun.
| ty clerks office in Steubenville. But
| even before that DR.. English had got
wind of their direction and telephoned
by long distance wire to Steubenville

Young Breckenridge was resource
full enough. He bundled the two girls
aboard trolley car and in a few
minutes they were over the state
line into West Virginia, where 1t isn't
so hard to get married. DR.. English's
phone hadn't reached that far, and by
hard work they got q license and

over Brownsville?"
"Ill only be too glad" replied the
young man. fiattered at the invitation
from such a pretty, likable girl as
Ethel English. III come around to-
night"
Now, most Brownsville folks say
that this was pure chance, this meet
ing of the two young people in an
other town. But there are a few who
declare that young Breckenridge had
fallen in love with the girl the first
time he say her at Brownsville and
that he had gone purposely to Car
michaers. where he could have the
field alone to himself. At any rate,
there had been another girl to whom
he had been engaged, but three weeks
before he had given her up-the rea-
son he gave at the time was because
she lad danced with another fellow.
So that very night the young man
called on pretty Miss Ethel. They sat
out on the porch and talked Of many
things. Next morning 1t was stroll
through the quiet lanes Of the country
side and in the afternoon a drive.
There was candy, too, whenever the
young man came, and flowers very
often.
And all the time the Baileys didn't
suspect a thing-the young people
were just enjoying their vacation.
The EIcpement.
There was a garage In Carmichaeps
and occasionally young Breckenridge

that. either, by the Baileys, for often
when the two went out for a spin
they took along Miss Annie Bailey, the
young daughter OF the family where
Miss Ethel was visiting.
So, when an auto spin was proposed
one bright afternoon the other day
and Miss Annie was invited to accom-
pany Miss Ethel, nobody had the
slightest objection. But Annie Bailey
was in q little secret, too, and her
going was only to be with her cousin
ON the most momentous occasion OF
her life.
Ethel English was eloping with
Clark Breckenridge! And Annie Bal
ley knew they weren't coming home
until little Miss English was Mrs.
Clark Breckenridge.

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people. realize the importance
Of the words Trade Mark" stamped
On the goods they buy. II they did
It would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot Of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out OF the business.
When q manufacturer adopts q
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
tion in his hands-out in the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
er of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements" offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility. and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example Of the kind Of pro-
lection afforded the public by trade
mark Is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
Using of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade

two sons to bring her home. Clark

DR.. English was furious.

and he drove right over to the Breck-

He stalked boldly in and was con-
fronted by the bride. Then he did
what fathers have done before, but
perhaps never to bride. He took
