Over the telegraph wires from Pittsburgh
one night came stirring story of the elopement
of young Hustler with belle of that city.
Wealthy parents of the bride were furious The
couple had caught a train for the West, and
the irate father was in pursuit with a gun in
each pocket. just eight hours behind. The names
and dates and trains and family histories. the
clergyman's interview and the fathers roars of
rage, were all set forth. 1t was straight news
item, and an interesting one. Press associations
and special correspondents flashed it into every
newspaper office in the country.

About this time the news
editors woke up, and
correspondents in every
Western city, in addition to
being ordered to keep a
sharp lookout for the Pitts
burgh merchant and the
clipping couple, were told
to find out what the father
in laws crouch was. Why
did he object to his son in
law, whose record had been
looked up and found to be
unblemished? Hustler was
a college graduate, his
parents were dead: he had
a few thousand dollars;
and was regarded as a rising
young business man. For
three years he had repre-
