and before Jeanne can realize 1t, be-
fore she can understand how it is
managed, she is seated beside ysne $
former love-the woman who has
wrought her the greatest injury she
has ever received.
One after another are introduced
and make their bow; servants hover
to and fro waiting for thu Arrival OF
some one ere they announce inner.
The some one is Lord Charles, He
comes in with his usual light, hurried
step, and comes direct across to the
new marchioness.
Jeanne looks up with extended
hand. 1t is her husbands oldest,
dearest friend.
Charles manners are not Of the

Lady Nugent looks around.

And the next instant Clarence's
handsome face is seen above the
crowd. 1t is flushed. not to say red;
he has evidently had struggle with a
refractory collar or necktie, and he
looks tired and exhausted.
For a moment he recognizes no
body, and it is not until Charles takes
him by the arm and draws him to the
sofa with Lane, let me introduce
you to Lady Ferndaie," that he looks
at Jeanne
As he does so, the red flies from
his face. and he stares as if he had
seen a ghost The silence causes
Jeanne to look up, and she turns pale.
It Is only for moment, but two per.
sons see it and notice. One, Lady
Lncelle, smiles behind her hand.
Lord Lime and are old friends,
she says, quietly.
Yes, yes, stammers Clarence
taking her hand and lowering his
eyes.
Then you know Ferndale, after all

hand on vane's arm. which is like 2

Charlie only spoke the truth when
he said that the house was fuli-only
Carlie's mother, the countess, could
have told how eagerly invitations had
been sought for.
People were always anxious to
meet the great marquis, the musi-
clan, artist and traveller, about whom
so many stories were told that his
presence gave smack of romance TO
any house which he visited. Added
to this. the fame of his brides beauty
had spread abroad, and made people
curious to see the woman who had
at last conquered and tanned the
eagle. That she did not belong to
the exclusive world, only added a
piquancy to the curiosity.
'She was dairy maid, wasn't she,
dear!"
NO a fisherman's daughter, be
lieye, and Lord Ferndale used TO
help her mend the nets. So eccentric
and romantic, isn't it,"
This is the sort of thing that had
gone on.
There was one who could have re-
vealed the truth, Lady Lucille; but
she professed as profound an ignor-
ance of the marquis bride as any one.

YOUTHFUL EL0PERS HALTED
AT SANTA ANA
Stern Parent Appears on Scene Be-
fore Boy and Girl Can Have
Ceremony Performed to
Make Them One

SANTA ANA, March 21.-The ma
jesty of the law, interpreted by City
Marshal Edwards. and Cupid por-
trayed by Tom Forman, aged H. and
Gertrude Seifert. two years his junior,
met in combat here today and Cupid
was worsted. The youthful elopers
declare it is only a temporary setback.
Young Forman and his lady fair left
San Diego yesterday, intending to flee
to Los Angeles and be married.
Spurred on by the threats of Seifert
here that he would take his daughter
on a European trip and thus sepa-
rate them, the sweethearts pressed an
automobile into service and left their
home city. They dismissed the ma
chine and endeavored to get aboard the
Owl, but without success. Nothing
daunted, they walked to the next sta
tion and boarded the early morning
train.
In the meantime their unfeeling
parents sought TO stay the hand of
fate by appealing to the law. City
Marshal Edwards, notified by tele-
graph, was prompt in meeting the train
which arrived here at 11:45 this MORN
ing, and cruelty shattered the romance
by taking young Forman and the girl
into custody. John Seifert, father of
the girl, followed on the next train,
and together with the boy and his
daughter, later returned to San Diego.

Until After the Ceremony

SAN DIEGO, March 1.-Fearing the
bestowal of his sweetheart's hand or
a rich rival, barred from the presence
of the girl of his heart by parental
ultimatum, F. N. Hall had second
seat built on his motorcycle last Fri
day afternoon, and during the early
evening hours eloped to Los Angeles
with Carrie Clapp, daughter of Ra-
mona restaurant keeper, and on the
following day secured a marriage Ii
cense.
A marriage ceremony followed, after
which the couple mounted the faithful
motorcycle and scurried in southerly
direction, arriving at San Diego Sun
day afternoon.
e. A. Clapp, father of the bride and
the former employer of Hall, was no.
titled of the marriage, and late yes
terday communicated with the runa-
ways, advising them of his forgiveness.
In the meantime Hall has secured
employment in this city and announces
that he and his wife will remain here

ment and honeymoon occurred arrived

HALT STRIKE OF
$4,000 FIREMEN
ARRAN GEMENTS TO SETTLE
PENDING DISPUTE
Questions of Seniority and Promotion
to Be Compromised and Ar
bitrators viii Agree on
Wages

CHICAGO, March 21.-All questions
in dispute between the $1,000 firemen
on western railroads and the railroad
managers will be amicably settled, ac-
cording to an arrangement reached
today through the aid of United States
Commissioner of Labor Neill.
1t was agreed by w. S. Carter, pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen, and his
committee representing the men and
the general managers committee for
the forty-seven railroads to settle the
controversy in the following manner:
The question of seniority or the pro-
motion of old-time firemen over new
men and the question of representa-
tion by the union when the firemen
have been promoted to be enginemen
are to be compromised before any ar
bitration is attempted
The demand of the men for an in
crease in wages of 121a per cent is
then to be submitted to arbitration,
under the Erdman act.
In previous negotiations the rail-
roads had agreed to arbitrate the
wage question, but had declined to ar
bitrate the other two points on the
ground they were points of discipline
and authority.
The general managers tonight issued
the following statement:
1.-THE railroads have no statement to
make other than that a settlement of
the whole matter probably will be
made tomorrow which will be stais-
factory to both sides"
Mr.. Carter said he had no comment
to make.
Tomorrow the board of arbitration
to hear the wage dispute will, under
the Erdman act, be composed of one
member appointed by the firemen, one
appointed by the railroads and one Sc
lected by the chairman of the inter
state commerce commission.
